DJGiddens

News: 5 days agoGiddens did not have a carry nor was targeted in the passing game in Sunday's win over Arizona. He played just two snaps on offense.

Spin: It was surprisingly Ameer Abdullah who had both a carry and a reception in the game, although the veteran RB played only three snaps on offense. Giddens is still likely the running back who would get the most work if Jonathan Taylor were to get hurt, though Tyler Goodson has been sidelined with a groin injury and could factor in once he's healthy. Either way, Taylor is getting almost every touch in the backfield in non-blowouts, and that doesn't look likely to change.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Giddens was selected by the Colts in the fifth round of April's draft. He has a solid frame and showed well at the combine, with a 4.43 40, 39.5-inch vertical (second best among RBs) and 130-inch broad (second best). He was solid efficiency-wise as a collegiate rusher but struggled with drops and may cap out as an early-down option. He'll battle Tyler Goodson for primary backup duties behind feature back Jonathan Taylor and, thus, has some late-round insurance appeal.
