The running back hasn’t participated in practice at all on the short week and enters the contest with his status genuinely up in the air. So much for the ‘just precautionary’ explanation – fantasy managers who reaped the benefits of adding Guerendo ahead of Week 14 could be without his services in the first round of the big dance, which would without a doubt be backbreaking for certain teams. If Guerendo plays, he should be started as usual as a mid-low RB2; chances are if he does play, the 49ers will have him on some level of workload management while sprinkling in Patrick Taylor and Izzy Abanikanda to the backfield. If he doesn’t, Patrick Taylor can likely be started as a fantasy RB3 with upside, while Abanikanda would be the definition of a dice roll in the flex.
