Shane Vereen Lifts Sluggish Offense on Thursday night

by John Aubin | Fri, Oct 17th 8:41am EDT

The Patriots offense didn't have much of a spark in the first half, but what little they were able to accomplish was thanks to running back Shane Vereen's two touchdown catches. Vereen finished with five catches on eight targets for 71 yards, and was also the lead rusher for the Patriots, with 11 carries for 43 yards. (Boston.com)

Fantasy Impact:

There was speculation coming into the Week 7 matchup versus the NY Jets that Shane Vereen would get the workload at RB. There were as many questions as to whether Vereen would split carries between the other Patriot RBs. If Thursday night was an indication of how the Patriots intend to use him, expect Vereen to become the featured RB in the Patriots offense in the upcoming weeks.
