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.

Season-low output at Houston
Giddens totaled 17 rushes for 50 yards and one touchdown while catching 5 of 7 targets for 16 yards during Saturday's 24-19 loss versus Houston.
ANALYSIS
Giddens' 2.9 yards per carry and 50 rushing yards were season-low outputs. Kansas State's offensive line struggled to make room for the run-game against Houston. The typically productive running back is just five yards shy of his second consecutive 1,000-yard rushing season. He'll reach that milestone when the team plays Arizona State in Week 12 after a bye week.
