Anthony McFarland Jr. Leads All Rushers In Preseason Win

Thursday, August 24, 11:23 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Anthony McFarland Jr. handled 10 carries for 55 yards and a touchdown in the team's preseason victory over the Atlanta Falcons. McFarland relieved Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren of their duties in the first quarter and received plenty of opportunities in the first half. The fourth-year pro powered through multiple Falcons defenders for a five-yard score in the second quarter that gave the Steelers a 24-0 lead. After an impressive summer, McFarland has given himself a great shot to make the final 53-man roster but is unlikely to make an impact for fantasy football in 2023.

Jaret Patterson News

Jaret Patterson Signing With Commanders Practice Squad

Tuesday, December 26, 2:50 PM

The Washington Commanders signed running back Jaret Patterson to the practice squad on Tuesday. Patterson signed with Washington after being undrafted in 2021 and rushed 85 times for 344 yards and two touchdowns in 20 games. He was released during final roster cuts ahead of the 2023 season and spent time on the Los Angeles Chargers practice squad until his release on December 20. Brian Robinson Jr. (hamstring), Jonathan Williams (concussion), and Chris Rodriguez Jr. (foot) are all banged up, so Patterson adds much-needed depth to the Commanders' RB room.
