Vereen is the leading candidate to fill the change-of-pace void created by the departure of Danny Woodhead, ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: While Stevan Ridley played a team-high 45 percent of the offensive snaps last season, Woodhead was next at 34 percent. Meanwhile, Vereen was on the field for just 12 percent of the snaps and assuming he stays healthy, expect a major boost in that department in 2013. Though the bruising Ridley,…read more

Vereen finished the 2012 season with 62 carries for 251 yards with three touchdowns, while adding eight catches for 149 yards and a touchdown in 13 games.
Analysis: Vereen's first two seasons have seen him slowed by injuries, while working behind Stevan Ridley, but his three-TD effort in the opening round of the playoffs hints at the potential the Patriots saw in him when they selected him 56th overall in the 2011 NFL Draft. In 2013, he figures to see an…read more

Vereen carried the ball seven times for 41 yards and a touchdown and caught five passes for 83 yards and two receiving TDs in Sunday's 41-28 win over the Texans.
Analysis: Vereen saw added looks Sunday after Danny Woodhead suffered a thumb injury and he certainly took advantage of them. As a result, look for him to continue to see an expanded role in the New England offense next weekend in the AFC Championship game against the Ravens, even if Woodhead is available to…read more

Vereen caught one pass for four yards, which resulted in a fumble, on his only touch during Sunday's loss to the 49ers.
Analysis: Vereen didn't play another offensive snap after his fumble late in the first quarter. With fellow RB Stevan Ridley also seeing a reduced role thanks to a fumble of his own, the Patriots rolled heavily with Danny Woodhead, with the team in catch-up/passing mode.

Vereen was on the field for 24-of-73 snaps on offense in Monday's win over the Texans, ESPN's Mike Reiss reports.
Analysis: Vereen logged eight carries for 40 yards in the game, as he continues to work in a complementary role behind Stevan Ridley. As long as that arrangement remains in play, Vereen will be a hit-or-miss fantasy option.

Vereen carried the ball three times for 14 yards in Sunday's win over the Dolphins.
Analysis: As long as he works in the shadow of Stevan Ridley (19 carries for 71 yards Sunday) in the Patriots' offense, Vereen is going to be a hit-or-miss option, though we do expect him to see more touches in his complementary role next Monday against the Texans.

Vereen carried 10 times for 42 yards and caught two passes for 91 yards -- including an 83-yard TD -- in Thursday's win over the Jets.
Analysis: Vereen remains behind Stevan Ridley (21 carries for 97 yards) in the Patriots' RB pecking order, but if anything happens to Ridley down the road, he could turn into a valuable fantasy asset. As it is, Vereen is developing into an effective complementary option in the New England offense.

Vereen carried the ball 11 times for 40 yards and caught one pass for 11 yards in Sunday's 59-24 win over the Colts.

Vereen carried the ball five times for five yards and caught one pass for 11 yards in Sunday's 37-31 win over the Bills.
Analysis: Vereen will continue to see touches in the coming weeks with Brandon Bolden having three more games left to serve on his suspension. Still, with Stevan Ridley getting the bulk of the carries (22 for 98 yards Sunday), Vereen will continue to work in a backup/complementary role.

Vereen carried the ball seven times for 22 yards with a touchdown and caught one pass for 17 yards in Sunday's win over the Rams.
Analysis: Vereen is still working behind Stevan Ridley, but he's seen added looks in the last two games, with Brandon Bolden out. The Patriots are off in Week 9, but the Bills' run D has been bad enough to date to consider using Vereen in deeper formats/bye week pinches in Week 10.

Vereen (foot) was not on the field for any of the Patriots' 87 snaps on offense in Sunday's loss to the Seahawks, ESPN's Mike Reiss reports.
Analysis: Vereen's lack of playing time was notable, given that Brandon Bolden left the game early with a knee injury. Whether he's not 100 percent healthy or simply not impressing the Patriots' coaching staff, Vereen has much to prove before he can be counted on from a fantasy perspective.

Vereen (foot) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

Vereen limped off the field during Friday's preseason game with what could be a foot or ankle injury, Jeff Howe of the Boston Herald reports.
