Matt Breida

Matt Breida rushed six times for 54 yards and caught one pass for a gain of four in the 49ers' wild Week 14 win over the Saints.

Fantasy Impact

Breida looked explosive on a 28-yard run early in the game but he worked behind Raheem Mostert in this one. He'll be a low-end FLEX option in Week 15 against the Falcons.

San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida is active for Week 14's contest against the New Orleans Saints.

Fantasy Impact

Matt Breida will make his return for Week 14, but may very have fallen to third on the depth chart in his absence. Mostert is the favorite to lead the 49ers in carries this week, and Kyle Shanahan's love affair with Tevin Coleman has been well documented. It will be interesting to see how the backfield snap and touch count is broken down in this afternoon's contest. This is backfield to avoid in season long leagues until we get a clearer picture of the workload split.

Matt Breida (ankle) isn't listed on the final injury report for Sunday's game in New Orleans.

Fantasy Impact

Breida missed the last three games due to an ankle injury. He will most likely join a committee with Tevin Coleman and Raheem Mostert. The 49ers will could use all three backs in Sunday's matchup against a New Orleans defense that has shut down the run all year. All 49ers running backs are flex options, since it's unclear on a week-to-week basis who will lead the team in touches.

San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida may return for the team's Week 14 matchup against the New Orleans Saints.

Fantasy Impact

Kyle Shanahan is optimistic that Matt Breida will be able to play in Week 14 against the New Orleans Saints. Raheem Mostert has looked great in Breida's absence, and has likely turned this backfield into the dreaded three back committee. Breida's fantasy value appears to have taken a hit in his absence.

Matt Breida (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday’s Week 13 contest against the Ravens.

Fantasy Impact

Breida was questionable heading into Sunday’s matchup against the Ravens, but the 49ers will play it safe with their running back and have ruled him out. Look for Raheem Mostert and Jeff Wilson to backup starter Tevin Coleman. Neither is great option against a tough Ravens defense. Breida will need another week and could return for Week 14’s matchup against the Saints.
