The Pittsburgh Steelers are signing running back/wide receiver Cordarrelle Patterson, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Patterson enjoyed the best season of his career under current Steelers offensive coordinator Arthur Smith in Atlanta, so the move gives the veteran a smidge of fantasy relevance in 2024. In 2021, Patterson rushed 153 times for 618 yards and six touchdowns and caught 52 passes for 548 yards and five scores. He finished that campaign as the RB9 in PPR leagues. However, he posted just 219 yards of offense last season and turned 33 years old on March 17. In all likelihood, he will primarily be used on special teams and as a gadget player in the new-look Pittsburgh offense. Patterson holds the NFL record for kick return touchdowns (nine), and this move was made on the same day the league approved a revised kickoff.

The Buffalo Bills released wide receiver and return specialist Deonte Harty on Wednesday, according to Ari Meirov of The 33rd Team. Harty signed a two-year, $9.5 million deal with the team last offseason after spending four seasons with the New Orleans Saints. The release of Harty saves the organization $4.2 million on the cap. A product of Assumption University of Division II, Harty has hauled in 79 of his 113 targets for 943 yards and five touchdowns through the first 56 games of his career. In 2023, he caught just 15 passes for 150 yards and one score. However, he finished fifth among all players in average yards per punt return (12.42) and returned one for a touchdown. He will likely have a decent free-agent market as a return specialist.
