Matt Breida Fantasy

San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida did not see a carry in the Super Bowl against the Kansas City Chiefs. Despite accruing over 700 scrimmage yards during the regular season, Breida faded in the postseason, seeing just nine touches over three games. Entering the offseason as a restricted free agent, the oft-injured but effective Breida (5.0 career YPC) will have hazy fantasy value until his immediate future crystallizes.

San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida will likely be a third option in the running game during the Super Bowl against the Kansas City Chiefs. Despite an attractive matchup against the 29th-ranked Chiefs rush defense by DVOA, Breida has garnered just nine touches in two playoff games. While he averaged a crisp 5.1 yards per carry during the regular season, Breida was rarely the lead back and was not utilized in the red zone. The third-year back will need to highlight his breakaway speed for a handful of chunk games to reward any fantasy or prop bet investors on Sunday.

San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida amassed 17 yards on eight carries in the Divisional Round victory against the Minnesota Vikings. Breida played sparingly but was tapped to salt the game away in the fourth quarter. He lost a fumble on a fourth down conversion that ended up being inconsequential. Breida was a clear third option behind Tevin Coleman and Raheem Mostert on Saturday, rendering him a desperation flex option in next weeks NFC Championship showdown.
