2 years agoAtlanta Falcons running back Cordarrelle Patterson had an impressive performance against the New Orleans Saints in Week 1. The veteran had 22 rushing attempts for 120 yards and a touchdown. Patterson also added three receptions on five targets for 16 yards in the passing game. With Damien Williams suffering a rib injury early in the game, Patterson saw an uptick in volume. The former first-round pick was a critical part of Atlanta's offense in Week 1, accounting for 59.7% of their rushing yards. Even if Williams is available for next week's matchup against the Los Angeles Rams, Patterson belongs in fantasy lineups after his performance against the Saints.--Mike Fanelli
