Cordarrelle Patterson Fantasy

Atlanta Falcons running back Cordarrelle Patterson (knee) was not spotted at practice on Thursday after also being held out on Wednesday. The Falcons listed his absence as a "veterans rest day" on Wednesday, but his second straight missed practice makes this a situation worth monitoring. Fantasy managers should check back in for his status on Friday, but as of now, it doesn't seem like something to be overly concerned about. If he suits up against the Browns in Week 4, Patterson can be considered as a high-end RB2 after a career-high 141 rushing yards in Week 3.

Atlanta Falcons running back Cordarrelle Patterson (knee) didn't take part in Wednesday's practice. His absence was qualified as a veteran rest day, but the Falcons also added a note that Patterson was specifically resting his knee after he ran for a career-high 141 yards in the Week 3 win over the Seattle Seahawks. The Falcons gave Patterson a ton of rest in the offseason and will likely continue to do so early in the practice week this year. Fantasy managers shouldn't be worried that he'll miss the Week 4 contest against the Cleveland Browns. Unless he suffers some sort of setback later in the week, the 31-year-old running back should be considered a high-end RB2 in fantasy this week.

Atlanta Falcons running back Cordarrelle Patterson had a disappointing Week 2 performance, totaling only 41 rushing yards against the Los Angeles Rams. However, the veteran bounced back against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 3. He had 141 rushing yards on 17 attempts, averaging 8.3 yards per rushing attempt. The Seattle defense had no answers for Patterson, as he had four rushing attempts of 17 or more yards, including a long of 40 yards. While he was a force on the ground, the former first-round pick had only one target in the game for 12 yards. Patterson is a plug-and-play RB2 next week against the Cleveland Browns.
