84 Cordarrelle Patterson WR

Patterson was on the field for six of a possible 78 snaps on offense in Sunday's 43-40 win over the Chiefs.

In the process, Patterson carried once for three yards and hauled in his only target for 13 yards. With Julian Edelman, Chris Hogan and now Josh Gordon entrenched atop the Patriots' wideout depth chart, Patterson's involvement in the offense figures to be sporadic. He's still capable of breaking off the occasional big play, but his most consistent impact going forward figures to come in the return game.

Patterson was on the field for eight of the Patriots' 69 snaps on offense in Thursday's 38-24 win over the Colts.

Patterson caught both of his targets in the game for 11 yards and even managed to help deep-leaguers with a one-yard TD catch. The return of Julian Edelman from a four-game suspension as well as the likelihood that Josh Gordon's snap counts will increase in the coming weeks doesn't leave a whole lot of work for Patterson in the Patriots offense. That said, he should continue to see return work and remains capable of breaking off the occasional big play when the coaching staff finds creative ways to get the ball into his hands.

Patterson caught three of his five targets for 54 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 38-7 win over the Dolphins. He also ran once for 11 yards.

The 27-year-old wideout was on the field for 41 of the team's 81 snaps on offense Sunday, but the looming return of Julian Edelman from a four-game suspension figures to cut into Patterson's opportunities to steadily contribute in the offense moving forward. He should, however, continue to see kick return work and remains capable of breaking off the occasional big play when the Patriots find creative ways to get the ball into Patterson's hands.

Patterson hauled in his only target for 12 yards in Sunday's 26-10 loss to the Lions.

While working as the Patriots' No. 3 wideout Sunday, Patterson logged 19 of a possible 48 snaps on offense. Through three games, Patterson has caught five of his seven targets for 36 yards, and his modest involvement in the team's attack figures to wane in the coming weeks, with Josh Gordon (hamstring) having been acquired in a trade last week and Julian Edelman due back from his suspension Week 5.

Patterson logged 16 out of a possible 75 snaps on offense in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Texans.

In the process, Patterson ran three times for 13 yards and caught his only target for six yards. He was predictably out-snapped by both Chris Hogan (68) and Phillip Dorsett (57), but it does appear as though the Patriots will look for ways to get the ball into his hands in the coming weeks. That could result in some occasional big plays for Patterson, who also sees kick return work, but he's not a reliable fantasy lineup option, so long as he slots in as the team's No. 3 wideout.
