84 Cordarrelle Patterson WR

Patterson (knee) practiced fully Wednesday.

Following the Patriots' first-round playoff bye, Patterson -- who was inactive in Week 17 -- is slated to play in Sunday's divisional-round playoff game against the Chargers. Patterson's versatility and play-making ability have been assets to the Patriots this season and as such, he could carve out some deep-league utility in postseason fantasy playoff formats, even if his touches (as a wideout or out of the team's backfield) aren't abundant.

Patterson (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jets.

With the versatile Patterson out Sunday, the Patriots' Week 17 wideout corps will be headed by Julian Edelman, Chris Hogan and Phillip Dorsett.

Patterson (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets after practicing a limited fashion once again Friday.

Patterson was forced out of the Patriots' Week 16 win over the Bills, but it looks like he has a good shot to play Sunday after practicing all week, albeit in a limited fashion. Assuming he suits up this weekend, the versatile Patterson could carve out some deep-league fantasy utility, given that he offers occasional contributions in the ground game and could draw more passing targets going forward with Josh Gordon (suspension) no longer in the picture.

Patterson (knee) was limited at practice Wednesday.

Patterson departed the Week 16 victory over the Bills with a knee injury, but his limited participation Wednesday is encouraging with regard to his status for Sunday's game against the Jets. His versatility has been an asset to the Patriots this season and if he suits up in Week 17, he could carve out some deep-league utility. Patterson offers occasional contributions in the run game and has the potential to draw more passing targets with Josh Gordon (suspension) no longer in the mix.

Patterson (knee) practiced Wednesday, NESN's Zack Cox reports.

The versatile Patterson left Week 16's win over the Bills with a knee injury, but his presence at practice is a big relief for the Patriots, who can ill-afford to to lose any more depth at wideout, with Josh Gordon no longer with the team.
