The Atlanta Falcons re-signed Cordarrelle Patterson to a two-year, $10.5 million contract. Michael Hitchcock looks at whether his 2021 was an aberration and if he’ll face more competition for touches.
After a slow first couple of days, it’s turned into a wild week in the NFL.
- Davante Adams is heading to the Raiders after a trade for a first- and second-round pick. With a suddenly impressive group of targets, can Derek Carr deliver an elite fantasy season?
- Allen Robinson finally has an elite QB and receiver opposite him. Is that enough to rehab his value after being a zero in 2021?
- Is Russell Gage the new Antonio Brown, or will he be buried behind better options?
- Evan Engram and C.J. Uzomah found new homes this week — will they be worth drafting in 2022?
- D.J. Chark escapes Jacksonville, but can Jared Goff help revitalize his career?
- What about a WR going to Jacksonville? Does a mega-contract make Christian Kirk a star?
- And how about those Cardinals backs? James Conner re-signs in Arizona and flies up boards, while Chase Edmonds will have to compete for touches in Miami.
- The Deshaun Watson quasi free agency saga finally came to an end after waiving his no trade clause for the Cleveland Browns. Will the Browns now shift to a pass-heavy offense with plenty of fantasy points to go around?
The Atlanta Falcons missed out on acquiring Watson, but they did bring back their most productive offensive player from 2021 and signing hybrid RB Cordarrelle Patterson.Was Patterson’s 2021 a flash in the pan?
