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.

Sets sights on NFL
Giddens has declared for the 2025 NFL Draft, Kevin Fielder of Rivals.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Giddens is coming off another excellent season with the Wildcats. He ran for 1,343 yards and seven touchdowns on 6.6 yards-per-carry this fall, in addition to 21 catches for 258 yards and a score. During his career at Kansas State, he amassed 3,087 rushing yards, 679 receiving yards and 27 touchdowns. He should intrigue NFL scouts with his versatile ability out of the backfield and penchant for the big play.
