Week 6 vs Raiders
Tim Patrick continues his strong season after Jerry Jeudy got hurt in Week 1. He gave us another strong performance last week after disappearing in Week 4. This week he takes on a Las Vegas Raiders that currently rank as a top-3 team when allowing points to the opposing WRs, so I'd temper expectations. I'd still take a shot on Patrick with target totals of nine, six, and five in the past three games.
Week 5 at Steelers
Tim Patrick has been a culprit of the Denver Broncos pass offense this season. After giving us usable weeks in Weeks 1-3, he finally came crashing back to earth against the Baltimore Ravens, only giving us 39 receiving yards. This week he takes on a Pittsburgh Steelers team that is the ninth pass heaviest team in the NFL, which means if the Broncos want to keep pace, they'll have to let the ball fly this week. Unfortunately, we can't really trust this spot with Drew Lock and Co.
Week 1 vs Ravens
Tim Patrick once again came through for us with another strong usage and real-life performance. Patrick tied Sutton in targets (5) last week while having more yards (98) and owning a whopping 45% air-yard share. Fire up Patrick again this week, especially if the Ravens game plan to take away Sutton from Teddy Bridgewater.
Week 3 vs. Jets
Tim Patrick had another strong game on limited opportunities. He finished the game with four targets, 37 yards, and one TD. The good news is that his snaps rose from Week 1 to Week 2, so if we expect his usage to keep rising, he's could be looking at more opportunities to rack up fantasy points. The New York Jets also rank 20th against the opponent's second wide receiver giving up 47 receiving yards a game.
Week 2 vs. Jaguars
We don't know who the winner will be between Tim Patrick and K.J. Hamler when it comes to replacing Jerry Jeudy's targets, but if last week was any indication, we should be chasing Patrick who finished with a 4 target/4 reception/39 yards/1 TD stat line. This week he has a great matchup against the Jaguars according to the 4for4 adjusted fantasy points tool (aFPA).
Week 17 vs. Vegas Raiders
On four targets last week, Tim Patrick registered three receptions for 39 yards. By comparison, Jerry Jeudy saw 15 looks from Drew Lock. Patrick hasn’t reached 50 yards in five in a row but caught four passes for 61 yards in the November loss to Las Vegas. He should only be started if you're low on WR options.
Week 16 at Los Angeles Chargers
In the home loss to Buffalo last week, Tim Patrick was targeted four times, leading to three catches for just 14 yards. He missed the first meeting versus the Chargers this season and Denver’s offense has been too inconsistent for him to be a part of your starting lineup during the fantasy playoffs.
Week 15 vs. Buffalo Bills
With Drew Lock throwing a career-high four TD passes last week against the Panthers, Tim Patrick finished with three receptions for 36 yards and his sixth score of the season. He remains Denver’s most consistent pass catcher with three of his six touchdowns coming in the past two games. Patrick faces a below average Buffalo pass defense at home on Saturday afternoon, but he’s just a WR3/flex option.
Week 14 at Carolina Panthers
In the Sunday night loss at Kansas City, Tim Patrick snagged four passes for 44 yards and scored both of Denver’s touchdowns. This season he has been the Broncos most consistent pass catcher, leading them in yards (607) and scores (five). Look for Drew Lock to continue to target Patrick, especially in the red zone, making him a WR3/flex play at Carolina.
Week 13 at Kansas City Chiefs
With Kendall Hinton throwing nine passes last week, Tim Patrick received two targets in the loss to the Saints. Drew Lock will be back under center for the Broncos and likely forced to the ball in the air often against the high-scoring Chiefs. Patrick caught three passes for 44 yards in the loss to Kansas City last month and makes for a WR3/flex option in the rematch.
