BALLER MOVE: Stash In Very Deep Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 1% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: The Steelers are the surprise of the league as they are off to a 3-0 start behind the strength of their defense and running game. But their backfield took some hits in Sunday's win over the Chargers as Jaylen Warren left with a knee injury and Najee Harris was seen with his arm in a sling yesterday at the Steelers facility.
Harris led the team in touches and yards Sunday, but it was Patterson who finished second with four carries for 33 yards and another three catches for 15. That was good enough for 7.8 points in PPR formats.

Harris is expected to be good to go by Sunday according to some beat writers, but Warren's status is very much in doubt. If Warren is out, then Patterson should play a lot of third-down snaps and spell Harris occasionally.
We saw Patterson thrive in Arthur Smith's offense in Atlanta as a Swiss-Army-Knife type player and he's already made an impact in Pittsburgh, too.
This week the Steelers face a Colts run defense that ranks 19th in DVOA through the first three games. Patterson makes for a compelling stash in deep leagues and could be a FLEX play if you are desperate.
