Brandon Bolden Fantasy

The Las Vegas Raiders are expected to sign free-agent running back Brandon Bolden, according to Ian Rapoport. The 32-year-old had spent all but one of his 11 NFL seasons with the New England Patriots prior to this offseason. Last year wound up being one of his better years from a statistical standpoint. He was used heavily in the passing game, notching career-highs in receptions (41), targets (49) and receiving yards (405) while scoring a total of three touchdowns. New Raiders head coach Josh McDaniels is certainly familiar with Bolden's work, as McDaniels was a long-time offensive coach in New England. Bolden figures to be the Raiders No. 3 back behind Josh Jacobs and Kenyan Drake.

New England Patriots running back Brandon Bolden wasn't asked to do much during the Week 17 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. He rushed once for four yards and hauled in two receptions for an additional 21 yards through the air. This game was a blowout early, so maybe that's why Bolden didn't do much in the receiving game. Although, he hasn't brought much to the table for quite some time. That being said, Bolden will be a desperation deep league option heading into the Week 18 matchup with the Miami Dolphins.

New England Patriots running back Brandon Bolden has not exactly been much of a fantasy option this season. However, he could see an increased role if Damien Harris (hamstring) is forced to sit out in Week 17. Although, Rhamondre Stevenson would likely see a bulk of the carries, assuming Harris is out against the Jacksonville Jaguars. However, Bolden could be involved more in the receiving game. Sadly, Bolden's workload is unpredictable, which makes him tough to trust in fantasy formats. He'll be a risky flex play in deep leagues for this Week 17 matchup.
