Brandon Bolden Scores Two Touchdowns In Week 14
Brandon Bolden got revenge on his former team in Miami's 34-33 victory over New England in Week 14. Bolden rushed for 60 yards and scored two rushing touchdowns on his only two carries. He also caught one pass for zero yards. Bolden ripped off a 54-yarder and then took one in from six, both in the second quarter. It's odd that Miami didn't give him any more carries after that, but his lack of work probably says how they feel about him compared to Frank Gore and Kenyan Drake. A nice game for Bolden, but he's not fantasy material.

Josh Jacobs, Brandon Bolden Questionable
Josh Jacobs (calf) and Brandon Bolden (calf) were both limited in practice all week and are questionable for Week 13 against the Los Angeles Chargers. Jacobs aggravated a left calf injury in the Week 12 win over the Seattle Seahawks, but he also ran for over 200 yards and two touchdowns on 33 carries and added six catches for 74 yards. The overall RB1 on the year looks to be on the right side of questionable for this weekend and should remain plastered to all starting fantasy lineups against a suspect Chargers run defense. In the season opener against LA, Jacobs had a season-low 10 carries for 57 yards and caught his only target for a 16-yard gain. If the 24-year-old is limited our out altogether, Ameer Abdullah and rookie Zamir White figure to split the backfield.

Josh Jacobs, Brandon Bolden Limited Thursday
Josh Jacobs (calf) and Brandon Bolden (calf) were both limited in practice on Thursday for the second straight day. The Raiders were hoping Jacobs would be available to play in Week 13 against the Los Angeles Chargers after he aggravated his left calf injury in Week 12, and all signs are pointing toward Jacobs being available. The 24-year-old is now the overall RB1 in half-point PPR scoring after going off for a career-high 229 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 33 carries last Sunday. He also caught six of seven targets for a season-high 74 yards in the overtime win over the Seattle Seahawks. If Jacobs is active on Sunday, which is looks like he will be, he's an absolute must-start RB1 against the Chargers' shaky run defense.

Brandon Bolden Limited Wednesday
Brandon Bolden (calf) was limited in Wednesday's practice. The 32-year-old exited the Week 12 win over the Seahawks early with a calf issue. He rushed for 10 yards on two attempts and caught all five targets for 32 yards during last Sunday's win. The severity of Bolden's calf injury is unknown, and he is considered day-to-day. Bolden will have two more chances to practice to have a chance of suiting up against the Chargers in Week 13. The veteran back is mainly used on special teams and has a minor role in the passing game, making him a dart throw at best in deep-league formats.

Brandon Bolden Cleared To Play In Week 3
Brandon Bolden (hamstring), who was inactive for the Week 2 overtime loss to the Arizona Cardinals, got in a full practice on Friday and doesn't carry an injury designation into the Week 3 game against the Tennessee Titans. The 32-year-old could be in for a big backfield role this weekend with Josh Jacobs (illness) questionable to play. Jacobs notably didn't travel with the team on Friday, either. In the season opener, Bolden played just 28 percent of the offensive snaps and had three carries for seven yards, adding two catches for 21 yards and a touchdown. Even if Jacobs is inactive, Bolden will be a deep-league flex option, at best, while likely sharing touches with Ameer Abdullah and rookie Zamir White.
