Matt Breida had 12 carries for 72 yards and caught one of his two targets for an additional 32 yards in Sunday's victory over the Rams.

Fantasy Impact:

Breida played a bigger role in this game, which makes you wonder if they were trying to get a better picture of what it would be like without Carlos Hyde. Still, Hyde had the most touches and out produced Breida so it did little to clear up any indication of what direction the niners will go. Breida proved that he deserves a roster spot and can be fantasy relevant if given the opportunity. Breida should have a leg up on fellow rookie Joe Williams, who missed the entire season with an ankle injury. If Breida is still available on waivers in dynasty leagues he is worth a flyer based on the uncertainty of the position heading into the off season. The starting running back in Kyle Shanahan's offense will have fantasy value, and if Hyde leaves, Breida will have the inside track as the starter for next year.
