New York Giants running back Matt Breida (hamstring) is dealing with a hamstring injury in Week 16 and was listed as limited on the team's first practice report on Thursday. The good news is Breida has an extra day to recover this week with the G-Men not playing until Christmas Day against the division-rival Philadelphia Eagles, but his status bears watching as the backup to starting RB Saquon Barkley. The 28-year-old should be available in Week 16, barring a setback the next couple of days. ...

New York Giants running back Matt Breida is still the immediate backup for starter Saquon Barkley but remains off of fantasy radars otherwise. The veteran has logged a total of 10 touches over the last four games, averaging just slightly over 20 percent of the snaps. At this time of the season, however, it can benefit fantasy managers to keep the backup of their star running back on their roster. Bench depth isn't as much of a priority as the playoffs arrive. Breida still fits that bill, but ...

New York Giants running back Matt Breida has been relegated entirely to spelling starter Saquon Barkley whenever the latter needs a break. There are no plays or set packages lined up for the veteran. At this point in the season, Breida is simply insurance for Barkley managers in case of an injury. That's the only reason that the 28-year-old should be rostered, but that's even a shaky excuse. Barkley is the only Giant worth starting in Week 10 and that's on talent alone. The offense has been ...

New York Giants running back Matt Breida remains in a reserve role for the team as they head west for their tilt against Las Vegas in Week 9. Since the return of starter Saquon Barkley, Breida is averaging just four carries per game. The veteran is simply an insurance player for Barkley managers at this point. The Las Vegas Raiders' defense allows 140 rushing yards per game, meaning Barkley will be busy early and often. Breida will only spell the starter whenever he needs a rest.

New York Giants running back Matt Breida rushed the ball five times for 13 yards and added one catch for four yards in the team's 13-10 overtime loss to the New York Jets. Breida actually tied for the team lead in receiving yards with Darren Waller, who exited in the first half with a hamstring injury. The Giants only totaled seven receiving yards in the game, largely due to an injury to Tyrod Taylor (ribs). Breida remains nothing more than insurance for starter Saquon Barkley, who ran the ...

New York Giants running back Matt Breida, as expected, saw his role dramatically decrease in the 14-9 loss to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday Night Football with Saquon Barkley (ankle) making his return for the first time since suffering a high-ankle sprain in Week 2. Breida finished the exciting game with four carries for 13 yards and failed to catch his only target in the passing game. Backup quarterback Tyrod Taylor had one more rushing attempt than Breida.

Breida ultimately ran the ball nine times for 21 yards and added one catch for three yards in the team's 31-16 loss to the Dolphins. Gray rushed the ball on 12 occasions. The Giants' offense was still unable to find any traction, even against a below-average Miami defense. New York's only touchdown came on an ...
