Brandon Bolden, RB

Brandon Bolden is one of those players who doesn’t do one thing great but do a bunch of the little things good that always seems to be an impact for the team.

Just like last season against the New England Patriots, watch for Bolden to stick it to his former team in a few ways.

With Sony Michel questionable, Bolden will get an opportunity to run the rock a few times.  He will also be used to catch the ball out of the backfield.  In either way, watch for Bolden to gain some yardage against a Miami Dolphins defense that may be already looking forward to the offseason.

Along with some plays on offense, Brandon Bolden will also have a long kickoff return and may come close to blocking a punt in this game.

Again, he will not be a focal point for the Dolphins but will do enough to impact the outcome of the game.  A game that may be decided before the first half is over.

Prediction: Brandon Bolden will score a touchdown on offense and deliver a key play on special teams against his former team.
