Isaac Guerendo is a fantasy football sleeper undervalued draft pick for 2025. Read the fantasy football outlook and draft advice for the San Francisco 49ers running back.
RotoBaller Ranking (half-PPR): RB53
Fantasy Draft Analysis: Isaac Guerendo saw time as the 49ers' RB1 while filling in for Christian McCaffrey and Jordan Mason last year. The sophomore rusher is a speedy back who played well in limited action. He averaged 5.0 yards per carry, ran for 420 yards, and scored four rushing touchdowns as a rookie.
Among 70 backs with 50+ carries, Guerendo also finished seventh in Fantasy Points Data Suite's missed tackles forced per attempt (MTF/ATT). This stat essentially measures a running back's ability to create yards for himself, regardless of poor offensive line play or other factors.
Calling Guerendo a league-winner may seem like a stretch, but there is a path toward RB1 value. Guerendo now enters 2025 as the RB2 behind McCaffrey. Given the latter's injury history, Guerendo may see an extended run as a starter in 2025. If he does, he’ll be a hot ticket item on waivers.

While Guerendo will not supplant McCaffrey anytime soon, he is talented enough to return RB1 production if McCaffrey goes down. Fantasy gamers should consider Guerendo a priority target in the closing rounds of all drafts as he carries potential league-winning upside.
Stashing the 49ers' backup running back has been fruitful in the past, so run it back in 2025.
