RB/WR Cordarrelle Patterson, Free Agent (1 Viewer)

Davis limped off towards end of game too. Not sure CP84 would be as effective as the every down RB though. I like the looks he gets at WR too.

Been able to watch a good handful of his carries at RB last few weeks. Only worry I'd have is he runs hard, takes huge hits, and is a big target. He looks really good back there though and runs well between the tackles.

That's what I would worry about too. He runs pretty violent and is a big target

I do not want him most of the time at RB taking big hits and losing burst and effectiveness. I do want him in his pass catching role out of the backfield but today thay seemed to be a bust. Feels like Miami focused on him and they got obliterated by pitts and gage

It’s good that Miami tried to focus on Patterson and were beat by Pitts and Gage.  Teams know that Ryan will beat you in other ways.  

 
Cordarrelle Patterson caught 6-of-6 targets for 126 yards in the Falcons' Week 9 win over the Saints, adding nine rushes for 10 additional yards. 

With the Falcons staring down the barrel of another one of their storied hysterical chokes, Patterson came to the rescue with a 64-yard reception down the right sideline with the Falcons trailing 25-24 with 1:01 remaining. Clearly underestimated by CB Paulson Adebo — he must not play much fantasy football — C-Patt simply ran by the third-round rookie. In addition to setting up the game-winning field goal, C-Patt's grab gave him his most receiving yards in a game since 2013, and his most yards from scrimmage of 2021. He has been the platonic ideal of a position-less "offensive weapon" this season. He will remain in the low-end RB1 mix for Week 10 vs. Dallas.

Well that sucks...

#Falcons RB Cordarrelle Patterson is still having his sprained ankle evaluated, but it doesn’t sound optimistic for Thursday night against the #Patriots, per source. Could be a couple weeks for one of this season’s most electric players.

Come on.  This season is just annoying.  

 
Rather see him sit this week and be 100% for the fantasy stretch run, but if he's at practice today, he's likely testing it out to try to play tomorrow.

 
Falcons HC Arthur Smith said that Cordarrelle Patterson will be a game-time decision against the Patriots.

Patterson has practiced all week and has a realistic chance of suiting up, despite the short turnaround for the Falcons in Week 11. Tom Pelissero previously reported that Patterson could be dealing with a multi-week injury, so that the fact that Patterson even has a chance to play Thursday is a positive development. Patterson will be a boom/bust RB2 if available, with his level of involvement a major question mark. Wayne Gallman will likely see a bigger role if Patterson is inactive. Mike Davis has a chance to be the biggest beneficiary but the team may be losing confidence in the seventh-year journeyman.

As much as everyone has already passed on C Patterson playing well this week, a short week, and no one really giving him any love yet...what if he's active and a go? He's practiced all week. What if that ankle was simply a tweak and he's good to go? FBG say if active then ya gotta play him just like you would. My team has gone from being in trouble at RB to now having to decide to play Cordelle or Rhamondre tonight, or both.

Good question and I face a similar situation.  I have been using Patterson at WR over Tee Higgins and Cooper.  WR is the one position I actually have talent and decisions.   CP has been an easy decision this season until this week due to his ankle.  

 
A tweak and he's done for the night. I have minimal confidence starting him, even though I'm down to backups to my backups at RB. I will make the final decision tonight.

The easy conservative play if Cordelle is active is to sit him and watch the game. A lil risky play I would think, but, I'm not sure about that. It's simply a speculative bias because it first appeared he would miss time.

It did seem like a risky play that I’m going to avoid.

Also if the Falcons gets posterized by the Pats they’ll pull him. 

That said my team is so screwed that if he starts I have to play him. 

 
Yeah, I'm in two minds. I'd rather not do, it's inherently risky, but it's start him or start both of Toney and Stevenson, both of whom are also inherently risky. With no big upside players on my bench I'll probably sit tonight

So far I will most likely play Rhamondre Stevenson over Cordelle, and I also must choose between Cordelle or Golladay / Gronk on MNF in the Flex spot. Leaning Golladay as of right now.

I like Stevenson very much even with Harris. I would also like Cordelle over Toney if he's a full go. Tough call, but Toney is a bit of a long shot.

For now I am sitting him for Cooks at WR and Michael Carter at flex.

I'll be wrong -- I always seem to be when I weigh in on lineup decisions that aren't mine -- but those two seem like some pretty good options and a good plan. He "tweaked" his ankle. I think Jene Bramel will tell you that the likelihood of "tweaking" that ankle again goes way up the next week and on short rest. 

And he does. No surprise. This was behind a paywall (so subscribe!), but Jene says: "Recovering from any high ankle sprain -- even low grade -- is difficult within five days. If Patterson is active, he'll be at high risk of an aggravation or limited production."

one other angle is really how bad does ATL want to try and win tonight....?....he is obviously a big part of any success they have been having....they are on national TV at home.....and they get a mini bye after tonight where he will have plenty of time to rest/fully rehab....from what I have seen in interviews etc, he seems like a baller and would want to play if he could....he is having a great year and gaining some recognition he hasn't really received before....there is some personal motivation to try and play tonight and maybe play well...

Would rather have him sit to avoid this. Rest up CPatt. 

If he does play I do think Ryan would try to get him a TD against his former team. Vets love that stuff.

 
Echo what other people in this thread are saying. Too many times they bring back players early and it gets worse. It's not worth it. Certainly not against Patriots. I can cede the battle to win the war. Don't want to lose CP for the year because of this. I honestly don't think I'd start him even if he plays but I have options and can appreciate that others do not.

Trouble is, the way he's been used would also make him (potentially) the ultimate decoy. I can't see them resting the 30 year old gadget player who's (for instance) 70% healthy until he's 90% healthy though.

 
I hope he plays. I'm trying to gauge how good this Patriots D really is. If Cordarelle it out, the Falcons basically have Pitts as a legit threat and that's it. Even the Lions have more talent on offense at that point.

Its only Tuesday. He was limited last week, so in theory, he should be better this week. I'd bet he's either limited or full tomorrow.

He almost played last week , he was on the field jogging and kind of cutting from what i saw. Crossing fingers here

 
Cordarrelle Patterson (ankle) remained "limited" on Thursday. 

Patterson also got in a slate of limited days last week before failing to suit up on Thursday Night Football, but he seems on track to return against the Jags. Absent a "full" day on Friday, however, we can't quite yet take his status for granted. If C-Patt goes, he will immediately return to the top 20 at running back. It's a dire week for the position, and the Falcons are desperate for high-value touches.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports Cordarrelle Patterson (ankle, questionable) will be a game-time decision. 

RapSheet said Patterson is "feeling much better this week," but the Falcons are "making sure they are smart about it." Patterson has been trending toward playing all week, suggesting he is on the right side of questionable, but his name will be one to watch when inactives are released. The good news is the Falcons are in the early slate, so Patterson's status will be official before lineups lock.

Be healthy CPatt. Saving many a team out there this year.

One more favor to ask: Instead of blasting those runs up in the middle slamming into LB’s and Dlineman save your self for dump passes, quick slants, and long bombs. TIA

 
It’s crazy how much the collective NFL wasted this guy’s career despite the fact that he clearly showcased his skill-set over and over for years with his YAC skills and as a historically good returner on ST’s. Obviously he’s improved as a receiver in that time but my god the guy was always a stud with the ball in his hands and teams were just so stubborn with him.

Fantasy football people for years including many of us said “why doesn’t someone just let him play RB full-time with some receiving flexibility” due to his frame, athleticism, and skills and it was basically laughed off. So fun to see him reach his potential. Even if it only lasts a couple seasons, I love that he’s had this later career resurgence. And teams know he’s coming and cannot stop it.
