News: 15 hours agoBreida nabbed his only target for four yards and did not log a carry in the Giants' 20-20 tie with the Commanders on Sunday.

Spin: Breida has been a very distant backup ball-carrying option behind Saquon Barkley all season, but he had gotten at least one carry in each contest prior to Week 13. The only two Giants to log a tote Sunday were Barkley and quarterback Daniel Jones, so Breida's lack of action on the ground wasn't a matter of him being usurped on the depth chart. New York seems determined to put its offense on the back of Barkley as the team pushes for a playoff spot, so there is no expectation that Breida's opportunities will grow while the No. 1 back is healthy.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Breida signed with the Giants and is the favorite for No. 2 duties behind Saquon Barkley. The veteran back made stops in San Francisco and Miami before playing a backup role in Buffalo last season. The speedy Breida has generally been limited to a committee role, but he's been effective, posting a career 4.9 YPC and 6.6 YPT. His peak was a 26th-place fantasy campaign in 2018 (1,075 yards on 180 touches), though he hasn't otherwise posted a top-45 finish. The 27-year-old will be worth adding only if Barkley misses time, and even then a committee would be likely.
