Matt Breida Fantasy

The New York Giants are signing former San Francisco 49ers and Buffalo Bills running back Matt Breida to an undisclosed deal on Monday, according to a source. Breida will provide some veteran depth and speed to New York's backfield and will follow head coach Brian Daboll to the Giants from Buffalo. The 27-year-old immediately becomes the primary backup to Saquon Barkley, depending on what other backfield additions the Giants make in free agency or the draft. Breida had a career-low 26 carries for 125 yards and a touchdown and added seven receptions for 72 yards and two more TDs in nine games (zero starts) in his lone season with the Bills in 2021. As of right now, he'll strictly be a fantasy handcuff for those that have the oft-injured Barkley rostered.

Buffalo Bills running back Matt Breida has barely been involved in the rushing attack lately. In fact, he has only one rushing attempt in two of his last three games. Normally, the Bills use Breida in the receiving game, but they haven't been able to lately. That being said, it's hard to imagine Breida having much of an impact against the New England Patriots in Week 16. A defense that does a solid job at defending opposing backs. Devin Singletary has pushed himself into the clear No. 1 spot in Buffalo. There could be a few touches for Breida this week, but not enough to warrant starting him in any formats.

Buffalo Bills running back Matt Breida was barely involved during the Week 15 matchup against the Carolina Panthers. In fact, he only rushed once for one yard during the 31-14 victory. Lead back Devin Singletary saw a season-high 22 carries, so clearly the Bills favor him in rushing situations. Normally, Breida gets involved as a receiving back, but didn't have any receptions in this game. This marks his third straight dud and should pretty much end his fantasy value. It's unlikely he'll have much of a role at all versus the New England Patriots in Week 16.
