DJ Giddens

DJ Giddens enters Year 2 as a 22-year-old running back for the Indianapolis Colts with a 12.7% average offense snap share in 2025, ascending trend. His custom fantasy points total 9.6 across nine games, reflecting modest usage in the Colts’ spread system. Giddens’ dynasty score (13.0) and trade value (637) place him at #265 among running backs, but his ascending snap share trend and lack of injury risk create a potential breakout profile.

Giddens’ 12.7% average offense snap share in 2025, increasing trend, and the Colts’ spread system under Shane Steichen create a floor for his custom fantasy points. However, his modest usage in 2025 (9.6 points) and lack of significant rushing or receiving production limit his ceiling. A 20% increase in snap share or a significant increase in rushing or receiving production would be required to justify a higher dynasty score.

No injury data is provided for Giddens. However, his 22-year-old age and lack of significant contact exposure (12.7% snap share) reduce his injury risk.

Giddens’ snap share has increased in each of the last two weeks (14.0% in week 5 and 31.0% in week 18), indicating growing usage in the Colts’ spread system. However, his snap share remains below 20% in most games, limiting his opportunity for significant production. The Colts’ offense is expected to continue in a spread system under Shane Steichen, which could lead to increased usage for Giddens.

The Colts’ spread system under Shane Steichen creates opportunities for Giddens to see increased usage. However, his part-time role and lack of significant rushing or receiving production limit his ability to capitalize on these opportunities.

Rising Giddens’ 12.7% average offense snap share in 2025, increasing trend, and his 31.0% week-18 mark indicate growing usage in the Colts’ spread system, supporting his ascending dynasty score (13.0).

Ceiling: 15-20 custom fantasy points per game with a significant increase in snap share or rushing/receiving production. Floor: 5-10 custom fantasy points per game with continued modest snap share and part-time role.
