Rest-of-Season Projections
2023 Fantasy Outlook
Patterson is overqualified as the projected RB3 for Atlanta behind rookie Bijan Robinson and second-year pro Tyler Allgeier. He was effective as a runner the past two years with the Falcons, turning 297 carries into 1,313 yards and 14 touchdowns (4.4 YPC) in 29 games. The 32-year-old began his career at receiver for a reason, though -- he's a big target with with an upright running style. Patterson is an all-time menace in the open field, which his incredible career kick returner production (29.5 YPR, nine touchdowns) also attests, but springing him from between the tackles is sometimes easier said than done. He'll likely end up in a backup role or timeshare even if the Falcons trade or release him, which is possible given the team's stout backfield depth and the $4.25 million in cap space it would free up.

Questionable for Sunday
Patterson (thigh) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Detroit.
ANALYSIS
Patterson wasn't listed on the injury report Wednesday but then missed practice Thursday and was limited Friday. He was removed from the report last week before being inactive for a win over Green Bay, with his absence from the lineup possibly having more to do with the Falcons not needing him than his health. Whatever the case, Patterson apparently is bothered by his thigh again and now appears uncertain to play Week 3 for multiple reasons.

There was no bigger surprise in the NFL in 2021 than Patterson, who at age 30 finally found a
system he could thrive in and a coaching staff willing to use him as something more than a
return man and occasional wide receiver or gadget player. The veteran's speed was never in
question, but in turn the Vikings, Raiders, Patriots and Bears all had trouble figuring out what to
do with it. The Falcons, lacking viable alternatives in the backfield, decided to turn Patterson
loose as a running back and see what happened. The result? Nearly 1,200 scrimmage yards
and 11 total touchdowns. Patterson's production through the air nearly matched what he gained on the ground, but with Atlanta usually playing from behind that didn't hamper his usage too much. He did fade late in the season, failing to reach 60 scrimmage yards in any of his final five games, but considering he's never even reached triple digits in touches in a season before,
some fatigue was understandable. The Falcons offense could be even worse in 2022 with Matt
Ryan gone and a threadbare receiving corps for the new starting QB to throw to, whether that's
retread Marcus Mariota or rookie Desmond Ridder, plus the team did bring in Damien Williams
to share some of the load. Patterson's still the favorite to lead the backfield in snaps and
touches, however.
