Does Cordarrelle Patterson play on Thursday night? Patriots-Falcons’ 11th Night Football Fantasy Injury Update
Cordarrelle Patterson (ankle) has been the biggest fantasy soccer player this year, but he injured his ankle against Dallas last week. Ahead of the Patriots-Falcons Thursday Night Football game, Patterson’s readiness is being set. If he wasn’t ruled out first, he would at least consider it “questionable”. His condition will no doubt affect RB Week 11 rankings and abandonment of rope processions, and start their decisions will balance while we wait for the latest injury update.
We’ll continue to update this article with news on Patterson until the official active/inactive report is released on Thursday around 6:50 p.m. ET. For all the latest fantasy updates, follow us on Twitter @SN_Fosystem.
WEEK 11 WIRE WAITING: Top Pickup Trucks
Is it Cordarrelle Patterson on Thursday night?
UPDATE: Patterson have a limited practice on Tuesday.
Early reporting on Patterson wasn’t great given his Week 11 availability. He is dealing Sprained ankle at Week 10, and it doesn’t look like he’ll play in the quick first leg against New England. However, nothing is certain yet, so it’s best to keep an eye on it.
WEEK 11 STANDARD RATINGS:
Midfielder | Run back | Wide receiver | Tight ending | VND / ST | Kicker
If he does play he could be overrated, but in PPR tournaments you have to think he’s worth the risk and perhaps a necessary start. In standard tournaments against a tough New England seven-team, he risked more, but he still proved talented and explosive enough to create with minimal touches. In other words, his upside down action outweighs his risk.
WEEK 11 PPR ASSESSMENT:
Midfielder | Run back | Wide receiver | Tight ending | VND / ST | Kicker
If he goes out, Mike Davis and Wayne Gallman will likely split RB duties. In last week’s game, Gallman made 15 hits while Davis made just four. This may just be the product of a flop, but it’s hard to think that Davis would take on a real pony role. He would be a more attractive pick than Gallman, but don’t be too optimistic about his prospects against a defense rushing the top 10.
New England has been prone to falling behind in the host game, but it’s hard to predict whether Davis or Gallman will get many jobs in that area. Davis is more likely to be used as a return, so he has more PPR value than standard, but he also generally seems to be a more valuable take-back.
In light of the latest injury news, we’ve ranked Patterson as WR10 in PPR and WR14 in standard tournaments. If he plays, he’ll be in that range. Davis would have been a low-level RB2 in Patterson’s absence, with Gallman acting as a low-level league.
