Fantasy Football Player Notes

If you just look at Patterson's Week 10 playing time without context then you might come away a bit concerned. He had his lowest RB rushing share of the season in addition to his second-lowest target share of the year. This was due to game script, however, as Week 10 got away from the Falcons in a hurry. Continue to value C-Patt as a low-end RB2 moving forward.

The 21-year-old has now been held to 62 receiving yards or less in each of his past four games. For the season he's still at just one touchdown. Pitts looked to be emerging as a top-four fantasy tight end when he posted 119+ yards in back to back games after Week 7, but the absence of Calvin Ridley has led to a ton more defensive attention on him. It's important to remember that he's still a rookie playing in a playmaker-depleted offense. More importantly, the utilization remains fantastic. Pitts draws the Jaguars and Bucs in Weeks 12-13. The talent is still worth betting on.

The 28-year-old was the poster boy for the "Running Back Dead Zone" this year. Entering Week 12, he no longer needs to be rostered. Cordarrelle Patterson wasn't even active in Week 11, but Davis rushed for just one (1) yards. He added 20 yards through the air, but the usage was quite alarming given the circumstances.

This was supposed to be the "get right" game for Ridley, but he wound up catching just 4-of-10 passes for 26 yards and a touchdown. The score helped savage his fantasy performance, but it was frustrating to watch Matt Ryan be able to connect more frequently with Kyle Pitts. Ridley has seen double digit targets in 4-of-5 games this year, and his target share has been above 20% in each of them. Hold tight for now.
