Shane Vereen Returns To Practice: Potential Fantasy Implications For Stevan Ridley
Shane Vereen returned to practice for the Patriots on Wednesday. We break down the fantasy implications.
Analysis: There's no word yet on Vereen's status for Week 2 against the Arizona Cardinals. Given how much time he spent on the sideline, it wouldn't be surprising if the Patriots ride Stevan Ridley at least one more week. Once fully healthy, Vereen could cut into Ridley's touches, however. Ridley was one of the gems of Week 1, rushing for 125 yards and a touchdown. Whether he stays hot could depend significantly on how long it takes Vereen to get back up to speed.
