Player Outlook

Jonathan Taylor has missed some or all of 19 out of 51 possible games over the past three seasons. Giddens was seen by some as a talent who could have been drafted to compete for a starting role as a rookie, so don't be surprised if his explosive play ability translates into big Fantasy production if he gets a chance to fill in for Taylor. Giddens ripped off 41 runs of 15+ yards across the 2023-24 seasons, making him one of five incoming rookies with 40+ of such runs during that timeframe. He also contributed 679 career receiving yards. He averaged a career six yards per rush even while facing stacked boxes at one of the highest rates of any incoming rookie RB. With size (212 pounds), strong collegiate avoided tackle rates, and impressive burst, Giddens profiles as an exciting sleeper worth targeting in the late rounds as a handcuff stash.

Colts' DJ Giddens: Taken by Indy in fifth round

Rotowire Apr 26, 2025

The Colts selected Giddens in the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 151st overall. Formerly a zero-star recruit, Giddens worked his way up Kansas State's depth chart to start in his final two college seasons. He rushed for 1,200-plus yards in each of those two years and was named to the Second Team All-Big 12 roster in 2024. Giddens' cutback ability and lateral quickness makes him a dangerous runner in the open field, which makes up for his lack of effectiveness between the tackles. His elusiveness as a runner and pass-catching ability should allow him to compete with Khalil Herbert and Tyler Goodson for a rotational role in the Colts' backfield behind starter Jonathan Taylor.
