3. RB/WR Cordarrelle Patterson, ATL vs. Miami Dolphins

Coming off of a bye week, Cordarrelle Patterson steps into a beautiful matchup with the Miami Dolphins, who have been getting gashed on the ground. It was most recently James Robinson who took his turn carving up their defense (17-73-1).

Patterson has become one of, if not the focal point of the Falcons’ offense. He should have no shortage of opportunity in this game, and we’ve seen so far in 2021 that when he’s given volume, he produces.

Patterson’s value is substantially higher because he’s listed as both a running back and wide receiver in most fantasy leagues, so he’s an elite option at either position and can be a perfect bye-week fill in at either spot.

He’s a perfect play all around this week. He’s also a must-start in daily fantasy as well, as this matchup is just too good to pass up.
