Is David Patten putting anybody on the bench for you? (1 Viewer)

[NCPanthersFan]

Patten puts Bowe on the bench today. Anyone else bumping his value?

 

[Deuce'sWild]

Edwards

 

[Beau Tocks]

Holmes.

 

[MAC_32]

Unless you're in a dyno and weak at WR, are in a very deep league, own Steve Smith, or have a WR injured Patten should not be in your starting lineup.

 

[Jerry Lawler]

...or if you own Andre Johnson

Yes, because who wants the #1 target for the NFL's #1 passing offense in their lineup?

Right, with Colston out he's a terrible play in an offense that anemic.

I wouldn't be so sure they'll pass as much without Colston, Springs being active or inactive may dictate how much NO passes this week.

Yes, I'm sure that instead they'll rely on their oh-so-potent running game.

Springs is active and is at/near 100%. He practiced all week.

Did I say he was a terrible play? I'm just saying benching one of your studs for him is a bad move imho.

Interesting translation.

Excuse me for thinking a bit outside of the box, I'll revert back to 'groupthink' just to make you happy. K?

back on track kiddies...

a johnson and Mushin will be on my bench this week, patten will be my WR3

In my 12-tem league that starts 3 WR's, I have Patten in over Berrian and Derrick Mason (bye week). I had him over Mason even before Ike forced a bye.

 

[xenith]

With Steve Smith still on suspension, I was gonna use Ray Rice as flex, but picked up Patton and planned to start him over Rice, even before the rescheduled game.

 

[hostile]

Starting as my WR3 in a PPR league over Chambers....

Look, it's not a matter of "don't think outside the box" but to come into the thread and say, categorically, that most people should not have Patten in their lineup when he's the #1 receiver today on the Saints seems shortsighted an silly, especially when you give no reasons for that in the post.And then to say they'll pass less, well.... I don't know how much Saints football you've watched the past few years, but the offense goes through Brees. Period. Frankly, I hope they do run more, because I think they need to to win. But I find it highly unlikely that they'll run so much more as to affect the passing game heavily.

 

[3C's]

Starting him over roddy white/lav coles, but I don't think that's much of a stretch.

 

[jamny]

Patten puts Bowe on the bench today. Anyone else bumping his value?

I wouldn't start him over Bowe.I'm sitting Crayton for Patten

 

[Pigskin Fanatic]

would not go with patten over Bowe. i just lost my wr1 and wr2 in Andre Johnson and Colston, gotta go with Patten today.

I think Bush, Shockey, and Pierre will see an increased workload. Patten may be the #1 WR but I think he's option #4 in that offense today, and Springs is a much better CB than Patten is WR.Benching a Santonio Holmes, Dwayne Bowe, or Braylon Edwards for the #1 Saints WR that's not Colston seems short sighted to me.

 

[conboy]

benching Edwards in favor of Patton because of the weather in Cleveland.

 

[Avery]

I thought I would be starting Holt and Andre Johnson this week and a couple of weeks ago I would be confident in this stud WR lineup.

As of now have two waiver wire WRs in Matt Jones and David Patten going today.

I think I'm going to be sick.

 

[Deuce'sWild]

shortsighted in normal weather conditions but with rain and 30 mph winds it will be hard to pass/catch. Braylon has a hard time catching in normal weather

He has a hard time catching normal passes, the circus ones he's $$$ on. Yea, I know, doesn't make any sense. Any other WR may be negatively impacted by the inclement weather but it wouldn't surprise me if Braylon's fine.

 

[FFdork]

Manage your own team how you see fit, but I wouldn't bench Bowe, Holt Holmes, or Edwards to start Patten. Those all seem like overreactions to one week or over-thinking the weather situation. I don't think I'd bench R. White either.

Patten makes an intriguing sleeper if you have guys like Colston, Smith, A. Johnson. I'm forced to start him in one league and I'd be happy with 5/50...anything after that is gravy.

Haha. I'm in same boat. I drafted Colston, A. Johnson and Roy Williams. If someone told me on a few days ago that M. Jones and Patten were starting for me this week I would have been blown away.

 

[WiDDoW_MaKeR]

I was debating over starting Chambers, VJax or Patten as my 3rd receiver. I think that I am going to roll the dice with Patten. I already have Gates at TE... and I don't think that I want two SD receivers going in against Denver.

 

[raidersfan]

starting him over kevin smith in a ppr league. sometimes I like to gamble with the flex..

 

[trader jake]

Benched Lav Coles for David Patten.

I think the NE defense will have something up their sleeves (what sleeves?) today for the Jets. The Hoodie will want to let the NFL world know that the Pats are still the team to beat. That and I don't want to risk a 0 and Lav plays the late game.

 

[Christo]

Torry Holt

Same here

 

[[scooter]]

This guy was the talk of the league last week, and now he's a nobody.

 

[thecardiackid]

Over Braylon for now. May change since both are late games.

 

[Sup_Yo]

Over Housh.

 

[mr blond]

over L. Coles

 

[Pots]

over P.Crayton

 

[JMJ]

Over L.Coles and D.Mason.

 

[Ketamine Dreams]

Over Slaton as a flex in PPR.

 

[supermark_28]

over Holmes and Evans.

 

[BeaverBoy]

another one over Coles

 

[trader jake]

over L. Coles

Over L.Coles and D.Mason.

another one over Coles

I'm starting Lav Coles over David Patten this week. Patten has an okay match-up but the Jets sound like they are going to pass in the red zone this week...and I'm guessing Coles gets one of those TD's.

 

[cholo]

Over Slaton as a flex in PPR.

oof

 

[southeastjerome]

What the heck happened to Patten yesterday? I didn't watch the whole game, but I flicked over to it and I didn't even see him on the field. Skimmed thru the game and injury thread and didn't see his name. Anyone who watched have any input?

Champ Bailey was on him and Patten's not that good.

 

[pghrob]

For much of the second half, he didn't even look to be in the game.

That's what I noticed to. He wasn't hurt or anything. When I did see him on a few snaps in the game Bailey was not on him.

Saw more 2 TE and Moore/Henderson sets, perhaps the staff thought those two were playing better than Patten?

Played him, and it was fugly. One NFLN clip showed coach Payton yelling @ Patten, so maybe he screwed something up and earned some bench time. Also seemed like L Moore was targeted early and often - catching about everything thrown in his direction.
