Steelers' Cordarrelle Patterson: Two carries in Week 2
Cordarrelle Patterson carried the ball twice for three yards during Sunday's 13-6 win over the Broncos.Patterson played just four offensive snaps, down from the nine he saw during the season opener. Despite his limited playing time, he's seen multiple carries in each of the first two games of the season. However, Patterson is unlikely to be relevant in most fantasy formats as long as Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren are healthy.

Steelers' Cordarrelle Patterson: Tallies four carries in victory
Cordarrelle Patterson rushed four times for 13 yards during Sunday's 18-10 win over the Falcons.Patterson was on the field for just nine offensive snaps during Sunday's Week 1 matchup, but he saw ample work when on the field and ultimately had more carries than fellow reserve running back Jaylen Warren. However, it seems likely that Patterson will remain the No. 3 option at running back since Warren was on the field for 21 offensive snaps, and his advantage in touch volume could simply have been a product of his greater familiarity with new offensive coordinator Arthur Smith's scheme. Patterson is also in line to serve as the Pittsburgh Steelers' top kickoff returner in 2024, although he failed to get one he could take back in Week 1.

Steelers' Cordarrelle Patterson: Long touchdown to close preseason
Cordarrelle Patterson rushed the ball three times for 31 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 31-24 preseason loss to the Lions.With Jaylen Warren (hamstring) sidelined, Patterson was the second back on the field behind Najee Harris. Patterson played with both Russell Wilson and Justin Fields, but his highlight of the game came on the team's first drive, when he ripped through the middle of the field for a 31-yard touchdown scamper. Warren looks likely to be ready for Week 1, but Patterson would likely get extra passing-down work and some occasional carries if Warren is unable to suit up.

Steelers' Cordarrelle Patterson: Activated after physical pass
Cordarrelle Patterson (hamstring) was activated by the Pittsburgh Steelers on Friday as he passed his physical, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.Patterson was placed on the reserve/non-football back in late July, but the passing of a physical was enough for him to now get activated. The veteran running back and return specialist will likely see the bulk of his opportunities this season as the Steelers' kick returner, as he sits behind Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren in the backfield depth chart.

Steelers' Cordarrelle Patterson: Dealing with hamstring issue
The Pittsburgh Steelers placed Cordarrelle Patterson on the reserve/non-football injury list Wednesday with a hamstring injury, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.Patterson was evidently injured while away from the team, hence his placement on the NFI list. He can be activated at any time during training camp or the preseason. Patterson signed a two-year deal with the Steelers in the offseason, giving Pittsburgh an experienced return man as well as depth out of the backfield behind Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren.

Steelers' Cordarrelle Patterson: Takes talents to Pittsburgh
The Pittsburgh Steelers and Cordarrelle Patterson agreed to terms on a two-year, $6 million contract Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.With this move to Pittsburgh, Patterson reunites with offensive coordinator Arthur Smith, who he worked under the past three seasons in Atlanta. Patterson reeled off 1,313 rushing yards, 670 receiving yards and 19 total touchdowns in 29 games between 2021 and 2022, but his numbers fell off once the Falcons drafted Bijan Robinson. With the Steelers, Patterson will be in a similar spot as the No. 3 RB behind Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren, but the 33-year-old could have a big year as a kickoff returner under the NFL's new rules.

Falcons' Cordarrelle Patterson: Falls flat in 2023
Cordarrelle Patterson finished the 2023 campaign with 50 rushing attempts for 181 yards and caught nine of 12 targets for 38 receiving yards and a touchdown in 14 appearances. He also totaled 153 kick-return yards.A thigh injury cost Patterson the first three games of 2023, and he struggled to carve out a role after that, resulting in his worst statistical campaign since 2015. After a breakout in 2021, the veteran scored a career-high eight rushing touchdowns in 2022, but he was firmly planted behind Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier on the depth chart this season. Patterson is entering back-to-back void years on his contract, and it remains to be seen if he'll stick in Atlanta for his age-33 season. Arthur Smith has been fired, and the Atlanta Falcons have yet to replace him, so Patterson's standing with the franchise is just one of numerous questions surrounding the team heading into the offseason.

Falcons' Cordarrelle Patterson: Nine touches in double-digit win
Cordarrelle Patterson rushed seven times for 26 yards and caught both of his targets for seven yards during Sunday's 29-10 win over the Colts.Patterson's nine touches were his second-highest mark of the season, and the only time he reached double figures was because of Bijan Robinson's lack of availability due to an illness. Patterson's offensive role has increased slightly over the last couple of weeks, but he's still not worth a look in standard leagues as long as Robinson and Tyler Allgeier are available.

Falcons' Cordarrelle Patterson: Score salvages poor production
Cordarrelle Patterson rushed five times for minus-2 yards and caught one of three targets for two yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 9-7 loss to Carolina.Patterson touched the ball seven times and totaled zero yards, which is abysmal efficiency, but he salvaged his fantasy line by scoring the game's only touchdown. Since Atlanta's Week 11 bye, Patterson has rushed 21 times for 59 yards and caught two of five targets for eight yards over the team's past four appearances. As long as Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier are available, Patterson's fantasy value is limited, and he'll likely have to find the end zone to sniff relevancy in standard leagues.

Falcons' Cordarrelle Patterson: Three carries in loss
Cordarrelle Patterson rushed three times for seven yards in Sunday's 29-25 loss to the Buccaneers.Patterson played just 12 of the Atlanta Falcons' 72 offensive snaps Sunday while continuing his role as Atlanta's No. 3 running back. The veteran's three rushing attempts were his fewest since Week 10 as he sees the field in relief of both Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier. Barring injuries to Robinson and Allgeier, Patterson's fantasy utility is extremely limited. The 32-year-old should remain far off the fantasy radar when the Falcons visit the Panthers in Week 15.
