Falcons see upset bid of Bucs dashed in 4th of 48-25 loss
The Atlanta Falcons found themselves down by three in the fourth quarter with a real chance for a potential upset of the Super Bowl champion Tampa Bay BuccaneersSEPTEMBER 20, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Scores via ground and air in loss Patterson rushed seven times for 11 yards and a touchdown and brought in five of six targets for 58 yards and another score in the Falcons' 48-25 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday....
Impact The jack-of-all-trades was at it again Sunday, and he rewarded fantasy managers who may have rolled with him in season-long formats and daily contests with his first pair of scores in a Falcons uniform. Patterson first recorded a 10-yard run in the second quarter for the Falcons' first points of the afternoon and followed it up with a seven-yard scoring grab late in the third quarter bring Atlanta within three points. While his team's overall prospects are undeniably dim, Patterson appears to be settling in nicely as a dual threat who can also be of value in formats that count return yards. He'll look to carry over his momentum into a favorable Week 3 road matchup against the Giants.

Solid all-purpose effort in loss Patterson rushed seven times for 54 yards, secured both targets for 13 yards and ran back one kickoff for 25 yards in the Falcons' 32-6 loss to the Eagles on Sunday. He also recove...
Impact The versatile veteran was put right to work in his team debut, and he was extremely efficient on a per-touch basis. If Week 1 is any indication, Patterson will enjoy a strong complementary role in the Falcons offense as a change-of-pace option alongside Mike Davis, with occasional cameos in his old receiver role thrown in. Patterson will look to help the Falcons make inroads against the tough Buccaneers defense in a Week 2 road matchup.

Pitts, offense held in check in disappointing Falcons debut

Opens season as No. 2 back Atlanta offensive coordinator Dave Ragone suggested Thursday that Patterson -- who is listed as the No. 2 running back on the Falcons' unofficial depth chart -- would be involved i...
Impact Patterson has dabbled at both receiver and running back since entering the NFL in 2013, but the Falcons seemingly envision him lining up primarily out of the backfield after he inked a one-year, $3 million contract in March. Mike Davis will open the season as the Falcons' top running back, and while Davis' ability to play all three downs should allow him to see the lion's share of snaps and touches, McElhaney speculates that Patterson may fill a larger role as the No. 2 option than initially anticipated. Perhaps as a show of faith in Patterson, the Falcons waived 2019 fifth-round pick in Qadree Ollison coming out of the offseason, though the subsequent addition of Wayne Gallman will present some competition for Patterson once Gallman is fully up to speed with the new playbook.

Role in offense TBD Though the versatile Patterson profiles as "a gadget guy" for the Falcons, Tori McElhaney of The Athletic suggests the 30-year-old, who can also feature as a wideout and returner,...
Impact Unless the Falcons make a move to bolster their backfield personnel, Patterson's main competition for backup slotting behind presumed starter Mike Davis figures to come from Qadree Ollison, Tony Brooks-James and Javian Hawkins. Once training camp gets rolling, we should gain added clarity with regard to the team's running back pecking order, but this is a situation to monitor, given that Atlanta no longer rosters its top three rushers (Todd Gurley, Brian Hill and Ito Smith) from 2020.
