Who Should I Start? Cordarrelle Patterson or Mack Hollins

Tuesday, March 26, 4:19 PM

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 agreed to terms with free-agent wide receiver Mack Hollins on an undisclosed deal on Wednesday, according to sources. As of right now, Hollins is essentially replacing Gabe Davis, who agreed to join the Jacksonville Jaguars in free agency earlier this week. In a run-heavy offensive scheme with the Atlanta Falcons with inconsistency all year at quarterback, Hollins caught just 18 passes for 251 yards and no touchdowns in 13 games in 2023. However, the year before in 2022 with the Las Vegas Raiders, the 30-year-old had a career-best 57-690-4 line in 17 games. The Bills will probably be looking to add more help to the receiver room through free agency and the draft, but as of right now, Hollins' fantasy stock in deeper leagues is trending up with the move to Buffalo.
