It's a new injury for Patterson, who has played every game in his two-year NFL career. The Vikings have not given any details, but he was still able to practice, suggesting that he'll be ready for Sunday's game against the New Orleans Saints. Patterson is having a promising start in Norv Turner's offense, turning 10 touches into 184 total yards and a touchdown through two games. He added 71 yards on kick returns.
Fantasy impact: With scant details to go on, we recommend keeping Patterson in your lineups unless he has a setback over the weekend. He’s still not seeing a lot of targets as a pure wide receiver, but Patterson has game-breaking talent. As long as Tuner continues to get the ball in his hands, Patterson will be a weekly WR3 starter who can flip the scoreboard on a single play. We will update his status when the Vikings release their final injury report Friday.
