2023 Fantasy Outlook
Breida served as the Giants' clear-cut No. 2 running back last season, but that didn't translate into much output with Saquon Barkley functioning as a workhorse within the team's offense. Breida finished the campaign with 54 carries for 220 yards, with both marks representing the second-lowest totals of his six-year career. The veteran saw his most work as a pass catcher since 2019 as a 49er, tallying 20 catches for 118 yards, and his overall contributions led New York to re-sign him this offseason. The Giants also selected running back Eric Gray in the fifth round of the NFL Draft, but the rookie isn't expected to usurp Breida on the depth chart. As long as Barkley remains healthy, though, Breida likely will play a nominal role again. Read Past Outlooks
RANKS

Gets 19 touches in Week 4 loss
Breida rushed 14 times for 30 yards and caught all five of his targets for 48 yards in Monday's 24-3 loss to the Seahawks.
ANALYSIS
Breida got a second consecutive start with Saquon Barkley (ankle) sidelined. He failed to find much running room behind a shaky offensive line that also allowed 11 sacks, but Breida led the Giants in receiving yards as Daniel Jones was repeatedly forced to check down. Barkley's hoping to return from his high-ankle sprain Week 5 against the Dolphins, but if the star running back sits again, Breida should continue to handle the lion's share of backfield touches.

2017
After a few good seasons in San Francisco to begin his career, Breida has become a
journeyman, spending 2020 in Miami before landing with Buffalo in 2021. The speedy Georgia
Southern product saw only 12 offensive snaps through the first nine weeks last year before
getting a little work in the middle of the season, amassing 172 scrimmage yards and three
touchdowns over a three-game stretch. Breida faded from relevance again after that, as Devin
Singletary seized the lead role in the Bills backfield, but it was enough to earn Breida a modest
one-year contract with the Giants after they released Devontae Booker. New York could be a
good spot for Breida to rehabilitate his value and earn a slightly larger deal next offseason,
considering Saquon Barkley looked like a shell of his old self last year while 2021 sixth-round
pick Gary Brightwell mostly played special teams.
