BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
OWNED IN: 2% of Fleaflicker Leagues
ANALYSIS: This has been one of the most injury-plagued and confusing seasons I've ever seen for fantasy running backs. The Patriots are always dangerous when it comes to speculating which running back is going to do well for them. However, with LeGarrette Blount looking like he is going to miss some time, Brandon Bolden is worth a look in deeper leagues.
The coaching staff likes his versatility and, based on his usage on Sunday, prefers to use him in the running game over James White. Let's be clear, James White still has more upside because of how effective the Patriots are with short passing plays.That doesn't mean that Bolden can't be effective with Blount out of the picture. He rushed 16 times for 51 yards against the Texans, and he can also catch some passes.
A little disclaimer here is that the Patriots also signed Montee Ball, but I see White and Bolden getting the bulk of the work.
