Beat: Shane Vereen will help to replace Aaron Hernandez

98.5 The Sports Hub

Jul 24, 2013 · 1:21 PM EDT

Former Patriots beat writer on RB Shane Vereen: "When [Aaron Hernandez] went down last year, and they were dealing with [Rob Gronkowski] being out...and they were really looking at some options, I kept hearing from people inside the organization to keep an eye on Vereen, that they think he can fill some of the role that Hernandez did so I don't see why that can't happen this year."

Fantasy Impact:

Considering his late-season production and the fact that Danny Woodhead is out of the way, Vereen's prospects are looking good. He gained at least 38 total yards in six of his last nine games and scored five TDs in that span. Woodhead quietly finished as fantasy football's #25 RB in 2012, so Vereen could post similar numbers if given a similar workload. The Vereen/Woodhead duo posted #14 RB numbers in standard formats and #12 RB numbers in PPR. Throw in some extra work to account for the loss of Hernandez, and Vereen's arrow is clearly pointing up.

New England Patriots running back Brandon Bolden sprained his ankle last winter and was unable to run during any part of the team's offseason training program, according to league sources.

Bolden suffered the ankle sprain while lifting weights on his own, when he didn't have his ankle planted correctly, a source familiar with the injury said. He is scheduled to meet with team trainers on Monday and believes his ankle has healed sufficiently, according to a source.

Bolden still attended the Patriots' program, but couldn't participate in drills. He is hoping and expecting to be ready for the start of training camp on July 25.

Fantasy Impact:

Bolden's roster spot is suddenly in some jeopardy after the Patriots acquired LeGarrette Blount via trade. They will vie to be the primary backup to Stevan Ridley while Shane Vereen takes over the role once occupied by Danny Woodhead.

There's two significant factors weighing against RB Brandon Bolden's chances of making the Patriots 53-man roster this season.

The first is increased competition created by April's acquisition of LeGarrette Blount from the Buccaneers. If Blount makes a case to stick, Bolden will be hard-pressed for a spot. The second is an undisclosed injury that landed him in a walking boot at one point this offseason. Bolden could be a candidate to begin training camp on the physically unable to perform list, hardly ideal for a player entering his second NFL season.

Fantasy Impact:

The good news for Bolden is reports say Blount has been unimpressive in OTAs and Bolden did look good at times last year for the Pats. He'll have to keep healthy, and ESPN gives him a 60-percent chance of keeping his roster spot. He would likely end up behind RBs Stevan Ridley and Shane Vereen on the depth chart.

Paul Perillo of Patriots.com believes that Patriots RB Shane Vereen is the player most likely to pick up the slack given the team's issues at WR:

"Vereen is a versatile running back with wide receiver skills. He came to New England with experience in a pro style passing game from his days at Cal, where he operated in Jeff Tedford's sophisticated system. He understands how to run routes and get open as well as catch the ball.

During the spring there were times when Vereen lined up as a receiver on the outside where the Patriots were looking to isolate him in space against a linebacker. It was similar to last year's divisional playoff win over Houston when he caught a long touchdown pass down the left sideline on a double move. I can see Brady and Vereen hooking up in a similar fashion – only more often – this year."

Meanwhile, writer Andy Hart believes that rookie WR Aaron Dobson will be ready to contribute immediately:

"In the past there have been other options that Tom Brady has felt more comfortable with and therefore life for the new guy hasn't always been easy. This year Brady won't have much of a choice. He's going to have to throw the ball to someone he's not overly familiar with – and Dobson is going to be that guy."

Fantasy Impact:

Both players likely get a boost given the team's issues at TE.
