Early reports out of Colts’ training camp indicate that fifth-round rookie running back DJ Giddens is solidifying his odds of becoming the RB2 behind Jonathan Taylor. Currently battling with Khalil Herbert and Tyler Goodson for the role, Giddens provided the first big run of the day, cutting back against the grain for an explosive run. Head Coach Shane Steichen says, “he’s kind of a glider, but he’s got good burst, good vision.”

Giddens continued to make plays even if they weren’t flashy. Looking like a natural receiver, he made several catches out of the backfield without a drop. Fantasy managers who own shares of Giddens should be excited about the early camp news, as the Colts are a run-centric team, and any missed time from Taylor will have the backup being a coveted piece in any format.
