Devin Singletary not only handled 22 of the 23 running back carries but also took 67 of the 70 total running back snaps against Carolina. Matt Breida didn’t get his first offensive snap until midway through the third quarter. His only other two snaps were on the Bills’ two kneeldowns at the end of the game. While the disparity might not be as stark in future games, it’s clear who the Bills trust most to lead their backfield as they enter the final three games.

For now, Singletary has put his ball-security issues to rest and shown a spark with some chunk plays when the Bills have needed it, the story said. Although coach Sean McDermott wouldn’t label Singletary the featured back, the recent usage means he has graduated from the early-season 1A label and is now just No. 1 ahead of Breida and Moss, the story went on to say. The Bills are still a pass-heavy team but Singletary could have some fantasy value in the fantasy semifinals and finals.

Matt Breida’s speed has been mentioned by coaches and teammates as the main asset that he brings to the team. But he’s proving that his receiving ability could be the best way to unleash that speed.

The story said the Bills threw the ball 63-percent of the time in early-down, neutral game-script situations a year ago. They’re going to throw the football a lot. So the most useful running back on this team might be the one who can consistently make big plays in the passing game. Moss has made a few of those plays, and so has Breida. Running backs can be tough to judge at this stage in camp, but Breida should get a chance to show what he can do in the preseason, the story went on to say.

The #Bills are expected to sign former #Dolphins RB Matt Breida, source said, as the speedster stays in the division. He gets a 1-year deal.

Matt Breida had a disappointing year in Miami in 2020 despite being in a run offense with little star power. He'll most likely slip in as the third option in Buffalo's backfield behind Devin Singletary and Zack Moss, and won't be on the fantasy radar unless there's an injury.

The Dolphins activated running back Matt Breida from the Reserve/COVID list on Wednesday.

Breida will take part in practice on Wednesday after missing the past two weeks. With Myles Gaskin expected to remain on the COVID list until Week 16, Breida should have a significant role in the Miami backfield this week working alongside DeAndre Washington. Salvon Ahmed returned to practice in a limited fashion Wednesday and could return this week. Ahmed's return to game action would make for a messy three-man committee against New England.

Dolphins RB Matt Breida has been placed on the reserve/COVID list and will not play Week 13 against the Cincinnati Bengals, according to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network.
