Fantasy Impact
Patterson has been targeted a team-high 33 times this season, but has only 17 grabs for 204 yards. He's on pace to match his rookie numbers, when he was only on the field for about half of the season. Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer admitted that Patterson has struggled to get open. It's hard to guess when his breakout week will come. Right now he's simply a WR4 better left on your bench.
