Two are dominant and the other two are just reserves, with one of them having major injury issues the past two seasons. Let's get real. I would be shocked if Patterson still receives any run, outside of a gadget play or two, with Burkhead back in the mix. I do agree he's mostly a handcuff, but I suspect he'll see more work than guys like Ware or Brown. Link to post Share on other sites

Patterson has earned BBs respect and I’m sure McDaniels likes showing different options in the backfield. Link to post Share on other sites

Essentially zero at present time, but he's one of the better cuffs IMO. Link to post Share on other sites
herschel 1,990 Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Not that adp matters this time of season, but he went ahead of white and Michel in drafts, so expectations were high coming into season. A lot has changed since then, but agree he’s a solid cuff for the playoffs. Link to post Share on other sites

He will get touches in both the run and passing game. I could easily see him being a hot waiver add next week based on his usage against the Vikings. Link to post Share on other sites
Red Dog 484 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Week 16 vs Buffalo, after the Patriots get up, I have a hunch it could be Burkhead carrying the load in the second half to preserve Michel and White for the real NFL playoffs. Could be a very good sneaky pick up and start for FF championship week. Link to post Share on other sites

Red Dog 484 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Yes, the move makes more sense in 16 team leagues where just about everyone has a volital flex position to fill. I think there is a good chance those who are starting Michel WK 16 end up disappointed though. Link to post Share on other sites
