Fantasy Impact: Patterson does a lot for the Vikings and with rookie Teddy Bridgewater under center, the electric receiver's fantasy future looks much brighter. He'll continue to get consistent targets moving forward, especially against a weak Washington secondary on Sunday.
If there is one downfall in Patterson’s outlook, it’s the the Vikings are a young team still learning, which likely won’t mean too many opportunities for Patterson to add to the one touchdown he’s secured so far this season.
Fantasy owners in deep leagues should definitely start him moving forward regardless of a lack of scores. With teammate Greg Jennings playing better of late, things could open up for Patterson in the passing game.
