Guerendo's 2024 tape is the reason to care: on just 84 carries he ripped off 420 yards at 5.0 per tote with four scores, and the explosiveness was real -- a 76-yard burst, two runs of 30-plus, a 10.7% explosive-run rate, and a healthy 0.114 EPA per play across 16 games. He chipped in 15 grabs for 152 yards on limited routes, so the receiving floor exists. The catch is opportunity: a 22.9% snap share and 3.1% target share confirm he was strictly a complementary piece.

He's again penciled in to back up Christian McCaffrey, but a torn pectoral suffered in May threatens most of camp and clouds his early availability, while Jordan James and Kaelon Black push for the No. 2 job. With McCaffrey turning 30 off a 450-touch season, the handcuff appeal is genuine, yet a sub-100 RB ADP and uncertain timeline make him a late-round lottery ticket, not a target.
