This is, of course, a bold prediction. But it also comes from a very reliable source and comes with Josh Jacobs trending in the wrong direction.

The Raiders are currently carrying five running backs (plus a fullback), so if Jacobs really loses this much ground game work to rookie Zamir White, the veteran's fantasy season is going to be miserable. Amongst those other running backs resides Brandon Bolden, who has a rich history of catching passes out of the backfield in a Josh McDaniels offense.

The Raiders plan to release veteran RB Kenyan Drake, per source.

Raiders beat writer Maurice Morton added to Pelissero's tweet that he's "not surprised about this." He said Abdullah hasn’t played the last 2 preseason games and he clearly surpassed Drake on the Raiders RB depth chart. In his eyes, the depth chart goes: Jacobs, White, Abdullah and Bolden. Drake could catch on somewhere else but his role may not be as significant as it once was.

Josh McDaniels reiterated today that he is not exploring a trade to ship Jacobs out of Las Vegas.

This is probably worse in fantasy land than if they simply found him a new home. It certainly raised some eyebrows when veteran Jacobs got some run in the Hall of Fame Game last week, a contest typically reserved for backups and players fighting for a spot on the roster, not RB1s. The Raiders already had Kenyan Drake in Jacobs' RB room before the team added Ameer Abdullah, Brandon Bolden, and fourth-round pick Zamir White. Jacobs is getting squeezed in every direction, but most discouraging, in the receiving game, where he doubled his career reception total in 2021 en route to his RB16 finish.

Rhamondre Stevenson has already been ruled out, so not having either of Harris or Bolden would lead to a thin backfield.

Patriots RB Damien Harris (hamstring) has been downgraded to out for Saturday's game against the Indianapolis Colts.

Not great news on the Harris front. Stevenson should start with Bolden as the change of pace back if he plays.

Patriots RBs Brandon Bolden (knee) and Damien Harris (hamstring) were limited at Wednesday's practice.

It could be extra rest coming off the bye, but Bolden and Harris being limited is worth monitoring and not being full participants is cause for some concern.

Patriots RB Damien Harris has cleared concussion protocol and will play Thursday night against the Atlanta Falcons. RB Brandon Bolden (hip), WR N'Keal Harry (knee), and TE Jonnu Smith (shoulder) are questionable.

Stevenson will revert back to his back-up role, but if Bolden were to miss TNF, he would gain more work in the passing attack.

Quick walkthrough today but Damien Harris and Gunner Olszewski have returned to Patriots practice Tuesday.

As long as Harris clears protocol, we can probably figure on him taking back over as the RB1 against the Falcons. However, this is a Thursday night game so keep an eye on Harris' status over the next couple of days. Stevenson ran for 100 yards and two scores last week against the Browns and would shape up to be a nice fantasy start if Harris isn't cleared for Thursday night.

Patriots RBs Damien Harris (concussion) and Rhamondre Stevenson (concussion) and WRs N'Keal Harry (knee) and Gunner Olszewski (concussion) are questionable for Week 10's game against the Cleveland Browns.

The questionable list for the Patriots is long than the list of games in which WR Jakobi Meyers has a touchdown. Bolden would be the biggest winner if Harris and Stevenson are out.
