Isaac Guerendo's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

San Francisco 49ers rookie running back Isaac Guerendo (foot) has been diagnosed with a foot sprain and is considered day-to-day this week to "see if he's got a shot" to play on Thursday night against the division-rival Los Angeles Rams in Week 15, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan. The 24-year-old rookie said himself he was removed in the second half of Sunday's win over the Chicago Bears as a precaution and that he felt fine, but it wouldn't be a surprise to see him held out on a quick turnaround. In his first start of the year with both Christian McCaffrey (knee) and Jordan Mason (ankle) out, Guerendo looked great for his fantasy managers, racking up 128 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns on 17 touches. Guerendo has become a must-start in fantasy as the 49ers' lead back, but he could be out or limited this Thursday, paving the way for Patrick Taylor Jr. to make a start.

San Francisco 49ers rookie running back Isaac Guerendo (foot) exited the Week 14 blowout win over the Chicago Bears early on Sunday with a foot injury, but he said the move to remove him from the contest was for precautionary reasons and that he feels great. It's good news, but Guerendo could be dealing with a foot sprain and he'll go for additional testing on Monday. It may not be a very serious injury, but the Niners have a short turnaround in Week 15 with a pivotal divisional matchup this Thursday night against the Los Angeles Rams upcoming. The 24-year-old contributed right away for fantasy managers that picked Guerendo up with Christian McCaffrey (knee) done for the year and Jordan Mason (ankle) expected to land on Injured Reserve, racking up 128 scrimmage yards and two TDs on Sunday. If he cannot get cleared for Thursday night, Patrick Taylor Jr. figures to be San Fran's lead back.

San Francisco 49ers rookie running back Isaac Guerendo (foot) will undergo an MRI exam on Monday after potentially spraining his foot in Week 14. With Christian McCaffrey (knee) and Jordan Mason (ankle) sidelined, the 24-year-old took over in the backfield in Sunday's win over the Bears. He played well, amassing 78 yards and two scores off 15 carries and adding 50 yards off two receptions. It was a spirited performance for those that picked Guerendo up off the waiver wire and started him this week, but the elation was short-lived. If he can't suit up in Week 15 versus the Rams, Patrick Taylor Jr., who had 25 yards and a touchdown off seven attempts against Chicago, will likely handle the starting duties and will be a popular waiver-wire addition.
