Brandon Bolden (RB, NE) - Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 3% of Leagues

ANALYSIS: After demolishing the New York Jets in Monday Night Football, it’s time to look at the next player on the New England Patriots to target on the waiver wire. The next one I’m looking at in the deepest of leagues would be the veteran running back, Brandon Bolden.

As the RB47 in PPR formats, Bolden has been underutilized and is in a very tough situation for him to become reliable in fantasy football. Sony Michel just put up three touchdowns against the Jets after being disappointing so far this year. James White has been his usual self with a role in the passing game as well as a few big games here and there. Bolden has been decent this year, as he’s found his way to the end zone three times all in different games. Two have come on the ground and one was a receiving touchdown. We all know just how frustrating the New England backfield can be, but as the bye weeks approach in your deeper leagues, he isn’t a terrible option as someone to Flex when you’re in a pinch.
