Cordarrelle Patterson Unlikely To Play Thursday
Cordarrelle Patterson (ankle) is fighting "an uphill battle" to play on Thursday night against the New England Patriots. Patterson was very limited in walkthrough practices on the short week after getting injured in Week 10 against the Dallas Cowboys, and he's likely to be inactive to kick off Week 11 action. It's troubling news for a weak Falcons offense that has already been without top wideout Calvin Ridley (personal). Atlanta's wideouts and rookie tight end Kyle Pitts should see more targets, but the Falcons receivers have been completely hit or miss for fantasy managers ever since Ridley stepped away from the team. New England also plays a lot of man defense, which the Falcons have really struggled with. Mike Davis and Wayne Gallman should divide up the backfield touches, but neither will be very attractive flex options.

Cordarrelle Patterson A Risky Choice For Week 14
Cordarrelle Patterson saw six touches during last week's win over the Cincinnati Bengals. The veteran back rushed three times for 16 yards while hauling in all three of his targets for an additional 37 yards through the air. The Steelers have found a way to get Patterson involved in the offense, but his role is unlikely to expand with Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren healthy right now. The expectation is that Patterson will few a handful of touches, but it's unlikely to be enough to warrant streaming him in any fantasy formats.

Cordarrelle Patterson Removed From Injury Report
Cordarrelle Patterson (ankle) has been removed from the injury report ahead of the Week 10 matchup against the Washington Commanders. The veteran back appears to be finally ready to make his return to the field. Patterson hasn't played since Week 4, but appears to be ready after getting in full practice sessions this week. Patterson is unlikely to have much fantasy value as the third string option behind Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren in the backfield. Patterson gives the Steelers depth in the backfield and at kick/punt returner, but isn't a viable fantasy option right now.

Cordarrelle Patterson Ruled Out For Monday's Game
Cordarrelle Patterson (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of the Week 8 matchup against the New York Giants. The veteran back has been limited in practice all week and now will miss his fourth straight game. His absence won't mean too much with Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren both healthy heading into Monday's game. Patterson probably won't see much of the field as a runner once he's back to full health anyway.

Cordarrelle Patterson Now Doubtful For Monday Night
Cordarrelle Patterson (ankle) is now listed as doubtful for Monday night against the New York Giants. He's been limited at practice throughout the week, and head coach Mike Tomlin indicated there was a shot he'd be back for Week 8. However, it appears the veteran will miss his fourth straight game because of the ankle injury. Patterson has 16 carries for 92 yards this season, adding five grabs for 34 yards. However, with Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren active, Patterson wouldn't have been involved enough to be relevant for fantasy managers.
