Atlanta Falcons running back Cordarelle Patterson has been one of the best players in fantasy football this season. The jack of all trades offensive weapon will get ready for a divisional matchup against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday.
Fantasy Football analysis: Falcons RB Cordarrelle Patterson
Last week against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Patterson did not score a touchdown, but still managed to produce 78 yards on 13 carries and three receptions for 18 yards (12.6 fantasy points). The 30-year-old has been shined throughout the season on both the ground and in the receiving game for the Falcons this season.
Patterson has a career-high 489 yards on 106 carries and four touchdowns, along with 44 receptions (57 targets) for 518 yards and five touchdowns. In his last five games, the 6-foot-2 running back/receiver is averaging 16.5 fantasy points per game.
Fantasy Start/Sit Recommendation
At this point of the season, Patterson is a must-start and should receive a good amount of targets/carries against the Panthers.
