Matt Breida plays second fiddle in Week 6 loss

by Mark Leipold | Giants Correspondent | Mon, Oct 16th 12:52pm EDT

Matt Breida carried four times for 21 yards and added two receptions on four targets for 15 yards in the 49ers' Week 6 loss to the Redskins.

Fantasy Impact:

This game was a blow to those who invested in Breida after the Week 5 performance. Breida remains a nice change-of-pace RB for the 49ers, but cannot be started on fantasy teams as long as the bulk of the touches are going to Carlos Hyde. Breida may be worth stashing for a few more weeks to see if anything changes, but it appears he will be used mostly in relief of Hyde and sparingly. Look elsewhere for your starting lineups, even with bye weeks in full swing.
