2024 Fantasy Outlook
After two very productive seasons, Patterson's numbers dried up in 2023 after Bijan Robinson joined the Falcons' backfield, but that may not have been the sole reason his numbers cratered. Patterson turned 33 years old in March, and his 3.6 yards per carry last year might be a sign he's lost a step. The Steelers signed him to a two-year contract soon after his birthday, but they might be planning to use Patterson mainly as a kick returner rather than have him challenge Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren for touches out of the backfield.

RANKS
Not playing vs. Big Blue
Patterson (ankle) has been downgraded to out ahead of Monday's game against the Giants, Burt Lauten of the Steelers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Patterson was limited in practice all week, but he still drew the doubtful tag due to an ankle injury he suffered in Week 4 against the Colts. The injury is severe enough for Patterson to remain sidelined for a fourth-straight week, and with the Steelers on the bye for Week 9, his next chance at suiting up will be Week 10 against the Commanders on Sunday, Nov. 10. Aaron Shampklin will once again serve as the Steelers' No. 3 running back Monday behind starter Najee Harris and backup Jaylen Warren.

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.

ANALYSIS
Neither Patterson nor Adams played in Sunday's game, as Patterson has an ankle injury and Adams is dealing with a hamstring injury. Nevertheless, Patterson's hoping that Adams was impressed by what he saw from the Steelers. Adams has requested a trade out of Vegas, but no deal has materialized up to this point for the star wide receiver.
