Sunday's Matchup
6 Things to Watch For as 49ers Host Dolphins
- Running back Matt Breida will make his first trip to Levi's® Stadium notas a member of the 49ers after being traded to Miami in April in exchange for a fifth-round pick used to select offensive lineman Colton McKivitz.
- Who starts at quarterback in Week 5? That's the lingering question 49ers fans and (likely) the Dolphins are eager to know.
- Against a Dolphins defense that's allowing 124.8 rushing yards per game to opposing offenses, ranked 20th in the NFL, the 49ers aim to rejuvenate their run game on Sunday with the potential addition of Raheem Mostert.
- Will Sunday be the week fans and pundits alike will see the firepower of the "YAC Boys" and a healthy 49ers offense?
- Sunday's matchup will feature two tight ends who could play big roles in Sunday's outcome in George Kittle and Mike Gesicki.
