2024 Rush/Rec Projections
2024 Fantasy Outlook
With six 100-yard rushing performances during the 2023 season, Giddens established himself over Florida State transfer Treshaun Ward as the top back for the Wildcats. Ward entered the portal again and transferred to Boston College, leaving Giddens atop the depth chart, with Colorado transfer Dylan Edwards coming in as the backup. The steady junior back was a pleasant surprise last year with 1,226 yards and 10 touchdowns on 223 carries, including 207 yards and four touchdowns against UCF in Week 4. He was also valuable in the passing game, totaling 29 catches for 323 yards and three more scores. Giddens will be important in helping new quarterback Avery Johnson grow accustomed to his new starting role, and he should be heavily leaned on as both a rusher and receiver again in 2024, making him one of the more valuable backs in fantasy.

Adds first rushing TD in 2024
Giddens compiled 17 carries for 86 yards and one touchdown and reeled in 0 of 1 targets for zero yards during Friday's 31-7 victory over Arizona.
ANALYSIS
Giddens failed to reach the century mark for the first time this season, however, he was able to record his first rushing touchdown. Kansas State's offensive line dominated Arizona as QB Avery Johnson rushed for 110 yards on 17 carries. Giddens is averaging 16.3 rushing attempts and 3.7 targets per game which is plenty of volume to depend on for fantasy purposes. He'll look to get back to racking up 100-yard rushing performances when Kansas State plays at BYU next week.
