Shark Bites are the latest fantasy football news & NFL updates. Draft Sharks has been in business since 1999. And when we started, redraft was the dominant form of fantasy football. Check out what we've learned about this most basic form of fantasy football along the way.
Steelers RB Najee Harris rushed 19 times for 114 yards in Monday's win over the Giants. He caught 3 of 4 targets for 17 yards, a stat line that includes one drop.
Steelers RB Cordarrelle Patterson (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Monday night's game vs. the Giants. He put in three limited practices this week but will now aim for a return after a Week 9 bye. RBs Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren will continue to handle backfield touches for Pittsburgh on Monday night.
Steelers RB Cordarrelle Patterson (ankle) got in a limited practice on Thursday. That gives him a chance to return for Monday night's game vs. the Giants. Patterson isn't a fantasy option, but he'd likely steal a few touches from RBs Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren.
Steelers HC Mike Tomlin ruled RB Cordarrelle Patterson (ankle) out and labeled RB Jaylen Warren (knee) doubtful for Sunday's game vs. the Raiders. Making those proclamations so early in the week doesn't bode well for either guy's availability for Week 7. The Steelers have a Week 9 bye, and it's possible we don't see either guy before then. RB Najee Harris will again dominate backfield touches for Pittsburgh this weekend. He's tallied 27 carries and eight targets over the last two weeks, although it hasn't resulted in many fantasy points.
Steelers RBs Jaylen Warren (knee) and Cordarrelle Patterson (ankle) are out for Sunday night’s game vs. the Cowboys. Both missed practice all week. Their absences leave Aaron Shampklin as Pittsburgh’s No. 2 RB. Najee Harris should handle a heavy workload against Dallas.
Steelers RBs Jaylen Warren (knee) and Cordarrelle Patterson (ankle) were held out of Wednesday's practice. They're both iffy for Sunday night's game vs. the Cowboys. If they miss, Pittsburgh would be down to Aaron Shampklin as the No. 2 RB behind Najee Harris. Expect Harris to be very busy in that case.
Steelers RB Cordarrelle Patterson has been ruled out of Sunday's game vs. the Colts with an ankle injury. RB Jaylen Warren is inactive, leaving RB Najee Harris to dominate work.
Steelers RB Jaylen Warren (knee) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Colts. We still don’t have any details on his injury or a timeline for his return. Warren’s absence should leave RB Najee Harris in a workhorse role this weekend. RB Cordarrelle Patterson figures to mix in for a handful of touches as the No. 2.
Steelers RB Najee Harris rushed 18 times for 70 yards in a Week 3 win over the Chargers. Harris entered halftime with only 3 rushing yards.
Steelers RB Jaylen Warren suffered a hamstring injury in the first half of Saturday night's preseason game vs. the Bills. The team labeled him doubtful to return (which he obviously won't).
Coming out of OTAs, Mark Kaboly of The Athletic says that he'd call Van Jefferson the Steelers' No. 2 WR "right now." He added that the answer certainly isn't clear yet. "To be honest, you can throw [Quez] Watkins, [Cordarrelle] Patterson, Calvin Austin III, Scotty Miller, Marquez Callaway and Denzel Mims in there as well," Kaboly writes. Notably, he didn't include Round 3 rookie Roman Wilson in that group. Kaboly also says he expects the team to "add a legit No. 2" before the start of the regular season.
The Steelers signed WR Cordarrelle Patterson to a two-year, $6 million deal, NFL Network reports. He's reuniting with OC Arthur Smith, who coached Patterson in Atlanta the past three seasons. Patterson averaged 10.2 carries and 3.4 targets per game across his first two years with Smith but just 3.6 carries and 0.9 targets per game last year. That was largely due to the arrival of RB Bijan Robinson -- but Patterson also struggled to just 3.6 yards per carry and 4.2 yards per catch. He turned 33 earlier this month. Patterson is unlikely to be a fantasy asset this season, although he could siphon some work from RB Najee Harris and especially RB Jaylen Warren in the passing game.
Falcons RB Cordarrelle Patterson hurt his ankle in the first half of Sunday's game vs. the Vikings and is questionable to return. We'll update his status when we know more.
Update: Patterson returned to the game.
Falcons WR Drake London (groin) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Vikings. That leaves Atlanta with WRs Van Jefferson, KhaDarel Hodge, Mack Hollins, and Scotty Miller. Seriously. TEs Kyle Pitts and Jonnu Smith should draw more targets with London out. RBs Bijan Robinson and Cordarrelle Patterson could also play expanded roles in the passing game.
Falcons RB Cordarrelle Patterson (thigh) is active for today’s game vs. the Jaguars in London. We’ll see how much he mixes in behind RBs Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier in his 2023 debut, but Patterson is only an option in one-game DFS contests.
Falcons RB Cordarrelle Patterson (thigh) is listed as questionable for Sunday morning’s game vs. the Jaguars. Patterson has yet to play this season, so it’s unclear what his role will look like in this offense. He’s not a Week 4 fantasy option.
