Atlanta Falcons running back Cordarrelle Patterson (thigh) did not suit up for Thursday's practice session. The veteran back has not played a game this season and it seems unlikely that he'll play in Week 3. Patterson was scratched ahead of the Week 2 matchup versus the Green Bay Packers after being a full participant during practice all week. The Falcons don't seem very eager to get Patterson back on the field, so they'll probably ease him back into things. For now, Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier will handle a majority of the workload in the backfield.

San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey tied Jerry Rice's all-time 49ers record by scoring a touchdown for the 12th straight game in Thursday night's dominant win against the New York Giants. McCaffrey, 27, finished the night with 85 yards and a touchdown on 18 carries. He also caught all five of his targets for 34 yards receiving. In a juicy matchup against a New York defense that had struggled to stop the run, McCaffrey was his usual self, combining elusiveness with power. His fantasy day was limited by head coach Kyle Shanahan keeping his promise to get other running backs involved, though his 23 touches matched last week's. He has plenty of time to rest up before an October 1 date at home against the Arizona Cardinals.
