Matt Breida Fantasy

San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida raced for 121 yards on 12 carries and caught his only target for 11 yards in Week 2 against the Cincinnati Bengals. Breida and backfield mate Raheem Mostert (151 scrimmage yards) gashed the Bengals all day, both enjoying huge performances. The Niners had a few opportunities at the goal line but opted for big back Jeffery Wilson to convert two plunges. Breidas usage between the 20s limits his touchdown upside but the third-year back has the talent and volume to be a weekly backend RB2. Hell be a strong fantasy option in Week 3 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, who just surrendered 152 rush yards to the Seattle Seahawks in Week 2.

San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida should see the bulk of work in Week 2 in Tevin Colemans (ankle) absence. Breida handled 15 touches for a meager 37 yards in Week 1 but the entire offense logged a sluggish performance. Without Coleman, Breida should lead the Niners backfield against the Cincinnati Bengals. While the third-year back struggles after contact, he plays with a workhorse mentality and is tough as nails. With the Niners deploying a systematic rushing committee, hell likely handle at-most 60 percent of touches, with Raheem Mostert, Jeffery Wilson and Kyle Juszczyk sprinkled in. Despite sharing snaps, Breida is a backend RB2 with the offense expected to rebound in Week 2.

San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida handled 15 carries for 37 yards in Week 1 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Breidas role didnt change after Tevin Coleman (ankle) went down, with Raheem Mostert picking up the void in the rushing committee. Breidas performance wasnt great but the volume is encouraging. If Coleman cant go in Week 2 against the Cincinnati Bengals, Breida will likely retain majority share in the backfield, making him a backend RB2.
