It's 1.5 quarters in with a rookie in his first start. And they are winning. I'll make sure to let Zimmer and Turner know you are unhappy though. They will really care too I'm sure.
NOT a Patterson owner.

The most frustrating part is he hasn't even been given a chance. It is one thing to see a guy go out and suck, you live and learn. But CP hasnt even been given the opportunity. He isn't startable going forward, until he shows something.

If you had to drop him in a 10 team league with shallow benches I couldn't argue with you at this point.
if he has 1 game with 2 long tds and 4 others with 0 catches its still not too great.

What's worse is he's getting to the point of not even being tradeable

yea i don't see anyone thinking he has any value...can't believe i started him over cooks and it's going to cost me this week

Finally a catch. After being a decoy right before that
I don't get this about defensive game plans. They let up 27 points to the vikings through 34 minutes of play. You'd think they would switch up their scheme.

Being used as a decoy too much on the fake screen

it's pretty believable. i mean if i had no idea what was going on in the game and someone told me this all happened, I'd think it plausible.

They've run that fake screen to Patterson and then screen back to Wright on the other side 4 or 5 times in the last three weeks and I don't think it's worked yet. Heck they've run the fake screen to Patterson twice as much as they've run actual screens to him.

I don't care who the QB is, what the score is or anything else. Unless Patterson is injured or just sucks (I don't believe either is the case), there is no reason a team's top 1-2 dynamic offensive weapons has 3 targets and 0 rushing attempts through 3 quarters. That's bad play calling IMO. Are the Vikes so good they can lay off the gas and run out the 4th quarter?I don't own Patterson, but if he's the dynamic weapon he's been made out to be, and showed in flashes last year, 1 reception at this point in the game is a waste of a valuable asset.

Nailed it here. This decoy stuff is BS. You find a way to get the ball in your playmakers hands. The fact that Teddy isn't even looking his way to start the read shows the plays are not even being called for CP.I don't care who the QB is, what the score is or anything else.

I'm saying it happens. Sometimes Julio or Calvin get only a couple targets. Sometimes McCoy or Charles only get a couple carries. And those guys are clear studs. CP is an amazing talent. But let's not act like he's a top 10 WR. He doesn't automatically deserve 10-15 touches a game. I hope this isn't a sign of things to come. CP should get more touches. But as a non-owner I think it's really funny to read the vitriol in this thread today.I don't care who the QB is, what the score is or anything else.

This seems to be a running theme, though. He's always getting the brunt of coverage and Minn seems content to take the other options and not force him the ball. That doesn't mean he's a bad player. It does mean he's going to struggle to produce fantasy results. Maybe with the other guys actually stepping up this week it will cause future teams to move coverage and focus around. We'll see. Right now, he just isn't even getting looks.

I called for a dud in this game but the generalizations of what will be in the recent responses are ridiculous. Cpatt struggled for touches in this game but it's really no surprise. If I'm ATL, I try to own him and let the others beat me. That's exactly what happened. As a Cpatt owner, I'm encouraged by the fact that they spread the ball around and scored a boat load of points against a good team without him. It will only help down the road. I benched him and feel good about it and he's a nice bye week fill in going forward until they figure out how to make him a priority.
Owners looking for him to be a #1/#2 type of WR at this point are sadly mistaken.

Go work for the Vikings and get off of this fantasy football thread, then. I don't draw a salary from the Vikings.

Cpatt? Isn't that a respiratory thing?
