Bears WR Cordarrelle Patterson getting reps at RB

Aug 17, 2020

It appears the Chicago Bears are ready to commit to Cordarrelle Patterson as more of an offensive weapon than a wide receiver in 2020. Patterson has been participating in running back meetings so far in training camp, and in Monday's first padded practice of the summer, he was running through drills at the position too.

Fantasy Impact:

The story said Patterson has a fantastic opportunity to contribute on offense in 2020 with a position shift to the backfield. The Bears have little depth behind starter Montgomery. Only Cohen, who's really more of a receiving threat than a true early-down runner, offers a viable option after Montgomery, but with Patterson's combination of size and explosive ability, he could prove to be a much bigger factor in the run game than previously imagined.

The Saints officially listed QB Derek Carr (left hand/concussion) as doubtful for Sunday vs. Washington. Jake Haener will make his first NFL start.

RB Alvin Kamara (illness) is off the injury report and good to go.

Related Players: Kendre Miller

Fantasy Impact:

It would have been an easy click for a Kendre Miller week if Kamara were forced to miss, but this puts the kibosh on that. Fire Kamara up as an RB2 this week in a game that may feature him even more than usual with no Carr.

The Seahawks list RB Kenneth Walker III (calf) as doubtful for Sunday's game.

Related Players: Zach Charbonnet, Kenny McIntosh

Fantasy Impact:

Looks like a clear runway for another Charbonnet week in what should be a tightly contested game against the Packers at home. Fire him up as a fringe RB1/2.
