I'm losing all hope in Vereen ever contributing. :(
Hopefully we can keep Salas on the practice squad because I think he could be a decent player. We just needed another guy we can trust NOW and Branch is better for that.

It is concerning that the injury bug is hitting him again, but I still think he will be a factor this season.Quote:

Yeah, Rotoworld said the same thing. I'm kind of surprised that he passed through waivers.Quote:

I don't ever see him being more than a borderline 3rd/4th WR here. And w/ how much we use 2 TE sets, that isn't a prominemt role at all. But it's one we need to fill none the less.Quote:

I figured the Jets or Fins would pick up Salas and try and deal him back to us..

Brandon Lloyd (thigh) was limited again in Thursday's practice.
That's two straight limited sessions for New England's No. 1 receiver, but there's been nothing to suggest the Pats are doing anything other than managing his reps. We fully expect Lloyd to play and be near 100 percent against the Ravens. He's Rotoworld's No. 18 receiver for Week 3.
Yeah, interesting that no team even claimed him. He definitely has valueQuote:

Just goes to show you how far ahead of everyone else BB seems to be. He always has a plan, while many others just seem to be guessing.

Brandon Lloyd (thigh) is listed as questionable for Week 3 after being limited in practice for a third straight day Friday.
Multiple Boston beat writers believe Lloyd's injury is minor and expect him to play Sunday against the Ravens, but it's a situation worth monitoring. Through two weeks, Lloyd leads New England in targets and has just narrowly missed a few touchdown opportunities. We like his fantasy outlook if he's in the lineup Sunday night, but keep an eye out for updates the next two days.

Shane Vereen (foot, questionable) was limited in Friday's practice.
Vereen has yet to play a snap this season, and the Boston beat writers have given no indication that he's getting any closer. Expect him to miss Week 3.
^ Dang. I'm sick of Woodhead as the 3rd down back, I want Vereen to do that. Get healthy!
If we are going to play 4-3 then Ninko can't play. If we have a decent replacement for him our D would be tight.
Also, Ray Lewis thought the Reed tackle was clean????????????????I bet he felt the same way when Merriweather ko'd Heap.
