  Giants | Matt Breida finds the end zone    Fri Sep 22, 12:30 AM

New York Giants RB Matt Breida had four carries for 17 yards and a touchdown against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 3. He added three receptions for one yard.

Footballguys view: The touchdown saved anyone who started Breida on a night that little to nothing worked for the Giants offense. Saquon Barkley hopes to play next week against Seattle, but if he can't, Breida will be a what the heck flex. He's not an essential hold or pickup going into Week 4.

  Giants | RB Breida 'Safe' No.2 Behind Barkley?    Wed May 24, 01:17 AM

Charlotte Carroll, from The Athletic, reports New York Giants RB Matt Breida may be the 'safe no.2 option' behind starter Saquon Barkley.

Footballguys view: Fantasy GMs need to watch this situation behind Barkley. Breida is there with his speed, receiving ability, and veteran experience. He could win the primary backup job, but he'll have to beat out fifth-round rookie RB Eric Gray. We like Gray's compact style as a runner, but he'll have to prove himself in pass protection in order to earn playing time. Watch this battle in training camp.

  Bills | Matt Breida bottled up    Sat Aug 14, 12:34 AM

Buffalo Bills RB Matt Breida rushed 10 times for 27 yards and caught two passes for 15 yards in a 16-15 preseason win over the Detroit Lions Friday, Aug. 13.

Footballguys view: The Bills are looking to Breida as a reserve option behind Zack Moss and Devin Singletary. With Moss (hamstring) banged up, Breida will be asked to do more. The hamstring injury for Moss is considered minor and they're considering him day-to-day, so we'll have to see how much time he misses the rest of the preseason if any.

  Bills | Matt Breida will have to compete    Wed Jul 7, 11:09 AM

Buffalo Bills RB Matt Breida has to beat out RBs Antonio Williams and Christian Wade for the final seat in Buffalo's running backs room. He might have to provide value on special teams in order to do so, according to beat writer Marcel Louis-Jacques.

Footballguys view: There is no doubt that Breida has talent as both a runner and receiver out of the backfield, but he's not a lock for the 53-man roster. His versatility and special teams play might be what separates him from Williams or Wade.

  Bills | Matt Breida officially joins Bills    Thu Mar 25, 04:13 PM

Free-agent RB Matt Breida (Dolphins) agreed to terms on a one-year contract with the Buffalo Bills Thursday, March 25. Financial terms were not disclosed.

Footballguys view: Breida joins a jam-packed Bills backfield. He'll work into the mix behind Zack Moss and Devin Singletary, likely working as a speed option and receiver out of the backfield. Don't expect Breida to have much fantasy value unless injuries strike the guys above him on the depth chart.
