DJ Giddens Solidifying Role as the Colts' RB2?
DJ Giddens had a good performance in Week 1 with 41 rushing yards on 12 carries, suitable for a 3.4 YPC. With the Colts up big against the Miami Dolphins, Giddens entered the game to make his NFL debut in the third quarter in place of All-Pro running back Jonathan Taylor. Taylor has been a bit injury-riddled in the past, so if Giddens can continue to impress, it's possible the Colts keep him at the No. 2 running back position over Tyler Goodson (elbow) as the season goes on. The fifth-round rookie was excellent in his final season at Kansas State, and had 205 rushing attempts for 1,343 yards and seven touchdowns, along with 21 receptions for 258 yards and one touchdown, starting all 12 games for Kansas State and earning Second-Team All-Big 12 honors. Giddens is a priority stash with leagues carrying a larger bench, especially for those rostering Taylor. In Week 2, the Colts face a tough home matchup against the Denver Broncos.
