Should You Start or Sit Isaac Guerendo in Week 14?
The hot waiver add of the week could be a league winner if the 49ers elect to commit to him. Guerendo scored from 15 yards out last week and now assumes an elite role with the two backs ahead of him now on injured reserve.
Why can’t he be Jordan Mason? Mason was a top-12 running back three times in September and, before his injury, was one of two healthy backs (minimum 100 rush attempts) picking up 10+ yards on 15% of his carries this season (other: Jahmyr Gibbs). He’s a good player, but that production was certainly impacted by an advantageous situation, a situation that is now Guerendo’s.
The Bears allow the sixth-most red-zone drives per game (3.7) and the fourth-most yards per carry to opposing running backs. I don’t want to get too aggressive with my projection because we don’t have a sample of what this offense will look like, but 15 touches seem like a floor, and that’s plenty in a Kyle Shanahan offense.
