Fantasy Football: Will Stevan Ridley Have A Repeat Performance in 2013?
After playing second fiddle to BenJarvus Green-Ellis in 2011, Patriots RB Stevan Ridley broke out last season to the tune of 1263 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns. Considering his final ADP was as the 27th ranked running back in all fantasy football league formats, those owners who took him late got tremendous value.
But what about 2013? The Patriots let Danny Woodhead walk in free...

Zach Sudfeld, Danny Amendola, Shane Vereen Among Big ‘Winners’ Out of Patriots’ OTAs, Minicamp
Bill Belichick cancelled the third day of Patriots minicamp and with that, the Patriots offseason workouts are through.
The team will convene once again in late July for training camp before getting some in-game action during the preseason. While it’s tough to take away much from practices at three-quarters speed with no pads and jerseys without numbers, there were some obvious...
Ahmad Bradshaw using Patriots as his backup plan
The running back that played for the Giants both times they beat the Patriots in the Super Bowl might have his eye on signing in New England.
The Patriots seem to be pretty set at running back, with LeGarrette Blount, Shane Vereen, Stevan Ridley and Brandon Bolden all already on the roster. In addition, who knows how the team will use Tim Tebow but he certainly has some skills running...
Patriots tailback Shane Vereen facing pivotal year
BY DAN BEGNOCHEIt's no secret that Tom Brady and the New England Patriots' passing game has been the crux of the team's offensive success for more than a decade.And while the running attack is mainly seen as an afterthought to how many touchdowns Brady throws in a given week, the ground game's evolution and success this season in particular could play a big role in...
Shane Vereen Ready to Take Danny Woodhead’s Role as Patriots’ Third-Down Running Back
The Patriots are officially done with OTAs. Now, they’ll turn their attention to minicamp before taking a month-long break to rest and get ready for training camp.
Some injuries befell a few key Patriots during their final week of offseason workouts, including what could well be a severe shoulder injury to cornerback Alfonzo Dennard. Entering his second season, every workout is...
Running Back Upgrades In PPR Leagues
Running backs with heavy involvement in a team’s passing game, like quarterbacks who tack on a few points with rushing yards every week, give fantasy footballers a little cushion that we don’t find with many two-down runners. Think of a back’s reliable receptions as a kind of fail-safe.
But we’ve already talked about that, haven’t we?
Projecting running backs who deserve...
New England Patriots 53-Man Roster Projection
CLNS Radio welcomes Bobby Krivitsky to our writing staff. With OTA’s recently underway and mandatory minicamp set for June 11th through the 13th, fans and media members get their initial glimpse at the 2013 Patriots.

Patriots’ 1-2 Punch of Stevan Ridley, Shane Vereen Give New England Top Tier Rushing Offense Heading Into 2013
For the first time in the Bill Belichick era, the Patriots will attempt to have back-to-back 1,000-yard rushers.
The feat was last accomplished by New England when the team was still wearing royal blue and red jerseys and Foxboro Stadium was still standing along Route 1. Curtis Martin rushed for 1,160 in 1997 and Robert Edwards ran for 1,115 as a rookie in 1998. The last time the...
Running Back Downgrades In PPR Leagues
Running backs who catch passes out of the backfield provide a cushion for their fantasy owners – even when running lanes are closed for business or their team is on the wrong side of a second-half blowout, these backs rarely leave the stat sheet empty and drenched with your Sunday night tears.
This principle applies to standard fantasy football leagues, of course, though it’s...

It's just about that time; with the NHL Playoffs now in full swing, Bruins-Fever is spreading everywhere.

Even Patriots running back Shane Vereen has found himself caught up in all the hype:
"Back in California, I didn't...

Danny Woodhead Will Be Hard for Patriots to Replace, But Shane Vereen Is Ready to Embrace Opportunity
FOXBORO, Mass. – Danny Woodhead played the role of leader for the Patriots’ running backs the past few seasons. But there will have to be a new leader in that room this season.
After three seasons with the Patriots, Woodhead signed with the San Diego Chargers this offseason leaving a void in the Patriots’ backfield and in the locker room. His departure complicated things for...
Shane Vereen will likely take over Danny Woodhead’s old role
New England Patriots running back Shane Vereen understands that he needs to be more focused this season.
“There’s a little more focus on my part. There has to be,” Vereen said Tuesday. “[I need to] just be more consistent. More reliable. That comes with practice and that comes with time, so hopefully we’ll get there.”
Vereen may have struggled with the Patriots offense...
Shane Vereen Has Become Diehard Bruins Fan, Found New Respect for Hockey Since Moving to Boston
FOXBORO, Mass. – Shane Vereen wasn’t much of a hockey fan growing up. Moving to Boston has changed that for him.
Vereen grew up in Valencia, Calif., about 30 minutes outside of Los Angeles, but he never really became all that enamored with the LA Kings or the sport in general. But, when the Patriots drafted him in the second round of the 2011 NFL draft, Vereen was thrown right...
Shane Vereen, Stevan Ridley Live Next to Each Other, Use Their Strong Bond as Motivation With Patriots
FOXBORO, Mass. — Shane Vereen and Stevan Ridley will always be connected, whether they like it or not — but, don’t worry, they do.
The Patriots chose Vereen (second round) and Ridley (third round) with back-to-back picks in the 2011 NFL draft, immediately connecting the running backs in Patriots draft lure. That connection hasn’t pitted them against one another, though, instead...
Goal Line Running Back Production
I’m always interested in how well running backs execute when they are near the goal line because execution means touchdowns and touchdowns means sweet, sweet, juicy fantasy points. Of course there are many reasons why a certain play doesn’t work and they often aren’t due directly to the running backs ability, but production often trumps circumstances in a coaches desire to...
Felix Jones Visiting with the Patriots
The New England Patriots might have Stevan Ridley, Shane Vereen, Brandon Bolden, LeGarrette Blount and Leon Washington to make up their running back corps—but you can always improve.
The way that I look at it: You can never have enough running backs.
Much like baseball, in which you can never have enough pitchers, I believe that you can never have enough running backs in football...
Shane Vereen On Verge Of Big Year with Patriots
2013 could be a big year for Patriots running back Shane Vereen reports ESPN Boston's Field Yates.Fantasy Spin:With Danny Woodhead out of the equation (he signed a two-year deal with the Chargers on Friday), Vereen will move up to second on New England's running back depth chart.

Danny Woodhead has signed a two-year deal with the San Diego...
Danny Woodhead has signed a two-year deal with the San Diego Chargers. Between Stevan Ridley, Brandon Bolden, Shane Vereen and now Leon Washington (to an extent), there wasn’t an overwhelming need to bring Woodhead back to New England, though he was arguable the Patriots most reliable runningback in 2012. He was a fun player to watch, and the great heart he played with will be missed.

Should we really be surprised by "The Shane Vereen Game?"
Vereen's 33 yard touchdown catch vs. the Texans
When we look back at New England's 41-28 win over Houston last Sunday, it will probably become known as "The Shane Vereen Game."
