Who Should I Start? Christian McCaffrey or Matt Breida

Sunday, November 2, 6:11 PM

San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey was seemingly unstoppable during Sunday's game against the New York Giants. He got the fun started off early with a five-yard touchdown grab in the first quarter. The Giants defense never seemed to figure out how to stop McCaffrey throughout this game. He rushed 28 times for 106 yards with a touchdown. He also hauled in five of his six targets for 67 yards and an additional score in the victory. McCaffrey posted an ugly outing against the Houston Texans last week, but bounced back nicely here. The 29-year-old remains one of the best fantasy players in the league.

Veteran free-agent running back Matt Breida is retiring from the NFL, according to ESPN. The former undrafted free agent signing out of Georgia Southern by the San Francisco 49ers in 2017 compiled 575 rushing attempts for 2,652 rushing yards and caught 120 passes for 935 receiving yards in 98 career games with the 49ers, Miami Dolphins, Buffalo Bills, and New York Giants. He tallied 15 total touchdowns. Breida had his moments on the fantasy football radar, particularly in 2018 when he rushed for 814 yards and tallied 261 receiving yards as a sophomore in Kyle Shanahan's offense. The 30-year-old declined a workout request from the Miami Dolphins this offseason.
