The 49ers suffered through a thinning backfield in 2018. Matt Breida, Raheem Mostert, Jeff Wilson, and Alfred Morris all saw significant snaps last season after Jerick McKinnon tore his ACL before the start of the year. Breida battled an ankle injury throughout the season, and Mostert broke his forearm in Week 9, leaving the 49ers no choice but to promote both Wilson and Matthew Dayes from the practice squad.
Despite the turmoil, Bleacher Report believes the 49ers are entering into the 2019 season with the league’s best backfield, and they might be right.
“In today’s league, the best running back stables aren’t filled with potential 1,000-yard rushers,” Maurice Moton writes.
