Tops 100 scrimmage yards Patterson rushed seven times for 20 yards and caught six of seven targets for 82 yards in Sunday's 17-14 win over the Giants. Impact Patterson served as second fiddle to Mike Davis in the running game, with Davis carrying 12 times for 50 yards, but the versatile veteran once again made a strong impact as a pass-catcher. In fact, Patterson led the Falcons in receiving yards and trailed only top wideout Calvin Ridley in receptions and targets. In doing so, Patterson surpassed over 100 yards from scrimmage, which came after he scored on both the ground and in the air last week. Given the Falcons' lack of offensive playmakers and the absence of a vertical element in new coach Arthur Smith's scheme through three games, Patterson was emerged as a dual-threat weapon to help move the sticks, notably seeing his fantasy value rise in the process.
