Are you adding Bolden or White?
Ridley could be done for the season, so picking up a potential starter for NE that looks like it is improving (maybe not the run game, yet) could be valuable. Bolden looked terrible Sunday, but it is his job to lose... White would be a risker bet with a higher potential payoff.. thoughts?

2Chris Moser (525 Reputation Points)Patriots fan here. There's no way in hell of knowing what Belichick is going to do. Bolden is solid but unspectacular all-around. White has potential to be fantastic but might not be ready to consistently pick up NFL blitzes, etc. The Pats put a lot of emphasis on blocking and discipline. Either way, I wouldn't get involved. It's going to be a legit committee moving forward with completely unpredictable game plans and sets.4 Comments↳Chris Moser (525 Reputation Points)Not to say that White can't block, we just haven't seen how his skills translate to the NFL or where he is in his development.↳Luiz Rocha (594 Reputation Points)Agreed. I usually stay away from NE RBs . Broke my own rule and got Vereen in the draft and he's been nothing but disappointment. This time, I'll steer clear.↳-VSOP- (359 Reputation Points)FULLY agree, the NE backfield is a headache. If I'm going to add either of the two though it'll probably be White, but he'd be my last choice in a long list of waiver adds this week↳Kyle (208 Reputation Points)Thanks all, at this point I'm almost leaning towards Joseph Randle as a lottery ticket. The Cowboys continue to look very good, and Murray has never played a full season...

1Ben Verwegen (500 Reputation Points)It was already unpredictable with a proven NFL ball carrier (Ridley). Like others stated, no idea how it will pan out now.

0BEAST MODE (607 Reputation Points)Vereen will be the starter.... outside of that, who knows. White looked like garbage during preseason. Bolden will probably get the runs between the tackles, but so far that OL has not proven all that great. I would not run out and burn a waiver wire for any of these guys personally... unless you are in a really deep league or really thin at RB...
