Brandon Bolden is a fantasy football waiver wire pickup option for running backs. Target him as a free agent add off waivers for Week 16 of the 2021 NFL season.
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 16% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: If you're still alive in whatever fantasy league you play at, and if you're still fighting for the championship, and most of all if you're looking into adding someone from the waiver wire, you better know it's slim picks these days around these places. That said, it doesn't mean you can still find a gem or two if you're needy at this or that position and looking to squeeze value from the most obscure of places. One guy that can turn into a valuable play ROS surely is oft-forgotten Pats RB Brandon Bolden.
Bolden is far from leading the Patriots in rushing attempts (30 through W15) but he's grabbed hold of the target diet and leads all NE rushers with 35 passes thrown his way while he's been automatic at catching those (33 receptions) for 303 receiving yards. Only one touchdown, yes, but Bolden is an absolute beast at catching passes and never misses, making him a fantastic target for PPR managers out there.
Bolden is coming off a Saturday game in which he played 56% of the Pats offensive snaps and finished with a 4-carry, 5-target tally racking up 44 yards from scrimmage. Not the greatest of outings, I know, but good enough for 7.4 PPR points and that means Bolden has played to RB3/top-36 levels at the position in five of the past six weeks. He's averaging 7.7 FPPG in that six-game span, and excluding his W11 dud (playing only 17 snaps, mind you) he'd be putting up 8.5 FPPG nightly. Not the worst of RB3/Flex plays you can still find for free in your WW.
