Jaret Patterson Fantasy

Washington Football Team running back Jaret Patterson will backup Antonio Gibsonto start the 2021 season.The team recently cut Peyton Barber, which free's up more snaps for Patterson. In the preseason games for Washington, J.D. McKissic was featured only as a receiver. He will likely have a bigger role in receiving passes rather than running the ball from the backfield. Patterson had 28 carries, 110 yards, and one touchdown. If preseason play has any indication of how the depth chart will look like during the regular season, Patterson will be the second running back in the depth chart, and McKissic could be listed as a WR and third in the running back depth chart. It remains to be seen how Washington utilizes those two players, but Patterson has some redraft value in the late rounds based on his presumed role.

Washington Football Team running back Jaret Patterson has drawn some high praise from the team's general manager, Martin Mayhew. The undrafted free agent did enough throughout camp and the preseason to earn himself a spot on the 53-man roster, as he beat out Peyton Barber for the No. 3 spot on the depth chart. "He's an explosive guy. He has really good vision. He brings a lot to the table," Mayhew said. Patterson will likely have limited playing time early on in the season, so he can be left off fantasy rosters in redraft formats for now. Nonetheless, the former Buffalo collegiate star is worth a roster spot in dynasty leagues. If Antonio Gibson or J.D. McKissic were to miss any time, the rookie's fantasy value would skyrocket in redraft leagues. He would likely be one of the hottest commodities on the waiver wire if this were to happen.

Washington Football Team running back Jaret Patterson had another solid outing in the team's second preseason game. The undrafted free agent carried the ball 16 times for 71 yards and had three receptions for 25 yards. After another performance that turned some heads, the 21-year-old could be pushing Peyton Barber out of the No. 3 role on the depth chart, as Barber finished the game with just four total yards on four touches. At this point, it seems it will be Patterson's job to lose as he has given the Washington coaching staff no reason to move on from him. Even after his two impressive performances, Patterson should only be rostered in redraft leagues if Antonio Gibson or J.D. McKissic were to miss some time. He is best suited as a player to stash in dynasty leagues as of now.
