Who Should I Start? Cordarrelle Patterson or Khalil Herbert

Friday, November 8, 2:58 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Cordarrelle Patterson (ankle) has been removed from the injury report ahead of the Week 10 matchup against the Washington Commanders. The veteran back appears to be finally ready to make his return to the field. Patterson hasn't played since Week 4, but appears to be ready after getting in full practice sessions this week. Patterson is unlikely to have much fantasy value as the third string option behind Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren in the backfield. Patterson gives the Steelers depth in the backfield and at kick/punt returner, but isn't a viable fantasy option right now.

Cincinnati Bengals running back Khalil Herbert was traded from Chicago on Tuesday before the trade deadline. It was surprising that the team activated him for his first game after just two days of practice. He only played 2% of the offensive snaps and didn't register any touches in the box score. He did fumble the hand-off on one play but was able to recover it. He'll have some extra time with the team and the playbook as the Bengals take on the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday night in Week 11.
