Matt Breida Leads Backfield Despite Injury
6 years agoSan Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida (ankle) handled 16 carries for 42 yards in Week 8 against the Arizona Cardinals. Despite being a game-time decision, Breida led the Niners backfield in touches by a wide margin. However, the ankle issue was probably a cause for his ineffectiveness (2.6 YPC). Despite injuries and limited practice, it’s clear Breida will try to suit up each week, rendering the backfield an unpredictable three-headed committee. He’ll be a flex candidate in Week 9 against the Oakland Raiders who were just ripped for 222 rushing yards.
