Quinton Patton

The New York Jets have signed free agent wide receiver Quinton Patton on Thursday.

Fantasy Impact

After spending the first four years of his career with San Francisco, Patton signed with the Jets Thursday. The 26-year-old wideout played in 14 games last season and accumulated career-high production in receptions (37), yards receiving (408) and YPG (29.1), but failed to score a touchdown. Patton will likely enter next season as New York's No. 4 or No. 5 receiver and will have minimal fantasy value if any in 2017.

During Sunday's blowout loss to the Falcons, Patton left the game due to a foot injury, which will now sideline him for the 49ers' final two contests.

Fantasy Impact

Despite ranking second on San Francisco's receiver depth chart, Patton didn't score a touchdown this season. He was placed on injured reserve to make room for DeAndre Smelter, who was promoted from the practice squad. Patton's looming absence, and Torrey Smith being placed on injured reserve, elevates Jeremy Kerley to the lead receiver role this weekend.

San Francisco 49ers' wide receiver Quinton Patton had four receptions for 31 yards in a 23-17 overtime loss to the New York Jets on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact

Patton has minimal fantasy value when it comes to season long leagues, especially in league playoff scenarios. He has had one game this season where he exceeded value with over 100 receiving yards against the Saints, but hasn't done much since early November.

San Francisco 49ers WR Quinton Patton had three catches for 52 yards in Sunday's close loss to the Arizona Cardinals. His longest reception was 45 yards.

Fantasy Impact

Patton did more than expected and showed his potential as a #2 option for QB Colin Kaepernick. The only downside is the 49ers' offense doesn't produce much in the passing game and production from the WR posit in varies every game. Patton is still a waiver wire player in most fantasy formats.

San Francisco 49ers WR Quinton Patton caught 6-of-9 targets for a career-high 106 receiving yards in a 41-23 loss to the Saints on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact

Patton finished strong having multiple receptions in the 4th quarter against loose coverage. His previous career high was 77 yards and he had no problem surpassing that today. Don't jump on the waiver wire to pick him up as he still has not been consistent enough to take that risk.
