Matt Breida, RB, San Francisco 49ers

FanDuel Price: $6,400

DraftKings Price: $4,800

Matt Breida was popular last week against the porous defense of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and he didn't disappoint. Breida racked up 140 all-purpose yards on just 17 touches, and his price didn't budge at all on FanDuel. Now he gets to take on a Seattle rush defense that has allowed big days from enemy backs over the last several weeks. What's not to like?

For starters, the 49ers was dreadful last week outside of Breida despite the pristine matchup. Quarterback Nick Mullens has struggled to consistently move this offense, evidenced by his abysmal 62.1 quarterback rating last week. As 10-point underdogs in one of the toughest venues in the NFL, this one could get out of hand quickly, rendering San Fran's rushing attack utterly useless in the process.

Despite coughing up a staggers 6.63 yards per carry to opposing backfields over the last month, Seattle is only projected to allow 18 points in this one. Game flow is a real concern for Breida, and he's not a risk that is worth taking in Week 13. Stay away from this matchup, and look to jump back in when the outlook is brighter.
