Shane Vereen

Patriots Beat: Players 'impressed' with Shane Vereen in early-down and short-yardage situations

Patriots players tell me they weren't happy with the way they ran the ball in the season opener and there will be a concerted effort to improve in that area Sunday in Minnesota. Shane Vereen (61 snaps) was the primary running back in the opener over Stevan Ridley (22 snaps) and Brandon Bolden (nine snaps). The team wants to feed that group a bit more, starting with Vereen. Players were impressed with how Vereen performed in early-down and short-yardage situations in the opener. Look for him to get more opportunities in those situations this week.

Fantasy Impact: 

Vereen saw seven carries compared to Ridley's eight, which is more even than we were expecting heading into the season. This is great news for longtime 4for4 favorite Vereen, who is already a high-end RB2 in PPR formats without the extra carries. If he starts to get consistent looks in the running game (including red zone work, like he did in Week 1), watch out.

Tom Brady

Patriots utilizing two-back sets with Shane Vereen and James White

When the Patriots put two versatile running backs in the game at the same time, how will defenses match them? That’s something to consider after watching Shane Vereen catch a short pass from Tom Brady and race 40 yards up the right sideline for a touchdown in the second quarter. Vereen and running back James White were on the field at the same time on the play, as the Patriots used that “pony” grouping six times in the opening half.

Fantasy Impact: 

Brandon Bolden was inactive, and it was not clear why. Regardless, the Patriots showed that they may want to utilize both Vereen and White at the same time, which would open up some snaps for the rookie.

Pats beat: RB Brandon Bolden's stock on the rise

After missing time to injury this spring and earlier in training camp, Pats RB Brandon Bolden finally got some game reps against the Eagles and took advantage.

He only had three carries, but he turned one into a nice 18-yarder around left end that showed nice burst. With Stevan Ridley putting the ball on the ground yet again – even though it wasn’t a turnover – Bolden could work his way back into the mix in terms of early-down consideration at running back.

There is really no other true backup option to Ridley on the roster, so it will be interesting to see if Bolden can improve his third-year stock after a solid summer debut.

Fantasy Impact: 

Bolden can do it all, but hasn't really stood out at one aspect, at least enough to earn the full time RB1 position when Ridley had his fumble problems last year. James White is possibly another option but it's an area the team didn't seem to address in the offseason so things look murky from a fantasy prospective.

After fumbling against the Eagles Friday night, now we'll wait to see if there are further repercussions with Patriots rB Steven Ridley's opportunities this week. If that is the case, the primary beneficiaries figure to be rookie James White and third-year veteran Brandon Bolden, who the team turned to exclusively in the ensuing plays after Ridley fumbled.

Fantasy Impact: 

Bolden is a back who can do it all, but doesn't really stand out in one specific area and has had his chances - so White becomes the back with the most upside here. Shane Vereen will get a carry here and there but is primarily a pass-catcher. The New England backfield is once again shaping up to be a mystery. Hopefully practice reps will give us a little better of an indication.
