Who Should I Start? Matt Breida or Tyrion Davis-Price

Friday, September 22, 9:12 AM

New York Giants running back Matt Breida scored a touchdown on limited touches in the team's 30-12 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. The veteran got the starting nod with star Saquon Barkley (ankle) sitting out. Breida only had four carries and three catches for 18 total yards but the entire Giants team only had 11 carries on the night. He salvaged his fantasy performance with the Giants' only touchdown, which came early in the third quarter. Barkley is dealing with a high-ankle sprain and could miss even more time. Breida is worth a spot on your roster until Barkley returns.

San Francisco 49ers running back Tyrion Davis-Price has earned himself a spot on the 53-man roster. The former third-round pick is coming off a disappointing rookie campaign. He rushed 34 times for 99 yards and was held without a touchdown in six games with the 49ers last season. He's expected to be a depth option alongside Jordan Mason (foot) in the backfield. The expectation is that Christian McCaffrey and Elijah Mitchell will take a majority of the snaps to begin the season. It's worth noting that the 49ers had plenty of injury problems in the backfield last season. That being said, Davis-Price might end up having a role if the backfield doesn't stay healthy. For now, Davis-Price can be ignored in fantasy formats with the starters healthy.
