RBIndianapolis Colts
March 14, 2024
The Colts re-signed Sermon on Thursday, JJ Stankevitz of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
In 14 games for the Colts during the 2023 regular season, Sermon rushed 35 times (including 17 carries in Week 15) for 160 yards to go along with three catches for 13 yards. With Zack Moss now with the Bengals, Sermon will have a chance to carve out a complementary role behind starter Jonathan Taylor in 2024, but chances are Indianapolis will add further backfield depth via free agency or the draft.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Responding well to benching
RBSan Francisco 49ers
September 17, 2021
Offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel noticed an "extra aggressiveness" from Sermon in practice after he was benched for the season opener, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports. "(Sermon) showed, I think, all of us that he really wants an opportunity, which he'll get this Sunday," McDaniels said.
ANALYSIS
Sermon was surprisingly inactive in Week 1, but the rookie third-round pick is set to make his debut in Week 2. San Francisco's backfield is now headlined by fellow rookie Elijah Mitchell, with JaMycal Hasty also on hand, in the wake of Raheem Mostert's season-ending knee injury. Sermon has responded positively to his benching rather than sulking or complaining, which bodes well for his chances of getting in the coaching staff's good graces and growing his role moving forward.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
It was no real shock last season when a rookie stole the spotlight in the San Francisco backfield. What might have been a surprise was which rookie running back did the deed. Taken in the third round out of Ohio State, Sermon was overshadowed by sixth-round pick Elijah Mitchell, who impressed his coaches more in the preseason and then took over lead-back duties when Raheem Mostert got injured. Sermon did show what he could do in Week 4 when both Mostert and Mitchell were sidelined, cranking out 89 rushing yards on 19 carries, but he then saw only 12 touches the rest of the year, missing a game as a healthy scratch and then because of an ankle injury. Sermon was waived by the 49ers in August, however, and quickly claimed by Philadelphia, where he'll provide his new team with backfield depth behind Miles Sanders, Kenneth Gainwell and Boston Scott.
A third-round pick, Sermon could not have found a better landing spot than San Francisco. A one-year starter at Ohio State after transferring from Oklahoma, he never posted 1,000 yards in college, but Sermon has the size, power and explosiveness to be an effective weapon in the NFL. Questions were raised about his vision and elusiveness, and his upright running style makes it tough for him to stay on his feet after contact and could lead to injuries down the road, but in a Kyle Shanahan scheme built around getting players the ball in open space, some of those issues fade in importance. Sermon is no match for teammate Raheem Mostert in the speed department, but the rookie could still earn carries off the bench early in the season, especially after Jeff Wilson had knee surgery in May. If he does eventually end up in a starting role, Sermon has the skills (and team context) to make an impact.
