Who Should I Start? Cordarrelle Patterson or Breece Hall

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Cordarrelle Patterson (ankle) will not play on Sunday, according to Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network due to an ankle injury. The veteran running back left last weekend's game early with an ankle injury. During the week, Patterson did not participate in any team practices and will set his sights on returning in Week 6. The 33-year-old was pushed up to the No.2 spot on the depth chart last weekend with Jaylen Warren (knee) sitting out, which allowed him to see six rushing attempts and two targets before suffering the injury. Fantasy managers should expect Najee Harris to have a large workload on Sunday night when the Steelers host the Cowboys and should be started in all leagues as an RB2.

New York Jets running back Breece Hall is coming off his worst game of the season as he ran for just four yards on 10 carries in a loss to the Denver Broncos. Hall had found the end zone in his three previous games, so he will look to get back to the end zone in Week 5 against the Minnesota Vikings in London. The Vikings will be a tough test for Hall as they are allowing the fourth-fewest fantasy points per game to opposing running backs with only Jordan Mason managing double-digit fantasy points against them this season. Hall should see enough work in the passing game to insulate him against having a bad game but he is more of a mid to low-range RB1 heading into Week 5. Fantasy gamers relying on Vikings and Jets players this weekend will want to set their lineups early as the London game kicks off at 9:30 AM EST on Sunday.
