Who Should I Start? Cordarrelle Patterson or Brian Robinson Jr.

Atlanta Falcons running back/wide receiver Cordarrelle Patterson (thigh) is questionable to play in the Week 4 contest in London on Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Patterson has been limited in practice this week, but it remains to be seen if the Falcons think he's ready to make his 2023 debut overseas. Even if the 32-year-old veteran is active on Sunday, he's not worth considering as a flex play, even in the deepest of fantasy leagues. The Falcons will continue to operate with rookie Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier in their backfield. Whenever Patterson plays, he'll simply be fighting for scraps in Atlanta.

Despite his solid play as of late, Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. is looking like a risky play this week. The Commanders are taking on the Philadelphia Eagles, a team that is allowing the fewest rushing yards per game to opposing offenses this season. Not only is that an issue, but Washington is also an 8.5-point underdog, making the possibility for a negative game script a likely outcome. Based on the Eagles' defensive strengths, it looks like Robinson's best-case scenario is either falling into the end zone or seeing more usage in the passing game. Consider him a low-end RB2 in Week 4.
