We've done a lot of analysis on Shane Vereen and how involved he could be against the Panthers in Week 11, but as of Friday morning he was still on short-term injured reserve.
That could change. The Patriots official team website speculates that the open roster spot created by the release of receiver LaQuan Williams "will likely be filled" by Vereen. The rusher has been practicing this week.
It would be great if we got the word on Vereen before Sunday morning but if not Fantasy owners counting on him need to find an emergency replacement in case he is either not activated off of IR or not activated to play on Monday. Potential options owned in less than 50 percent of CBSSports.com leagues include running backs Brandon Bolden and Jonathan Stewart and receivers Brandon LaFell, Ted Ginn and Julian Edelman.
