Who Should I Start? Cordarrelle Patterson or Raheem Mostert

Sunday, October 1, 8:17 AM

Atlanta Falcons running back Cordarrelle Patterson (thigh) is officially active for Week 4 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. He'll make his season debut in London after being listed as questionable. Patterson contributed an impressive 817 scrimmage yards and eight touchdowns through 13 games last season, but he's expected to have a much smaller role in 2023 now that Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier have already established themselves as the top two options out of the backfield.

Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert handled seven rushing attempts for nine yards with a lost fumble and three receptions for an additional 36 yards in Sunday's 48-20 defeat to the Buffalo Bills. Mostert made a nifty 22-yard contested catch on a wheel route to invigorate a muted first half but coughed up the ball late in the second period. Week 4 was the first hiccup of the 31-year-old's campaign after setting the world on fire as fantasy's top scorer over its first three weeks. Though, Mostert was out-touched 11-10 by the burgeoning De'Von Achane on Sunday. Jeff Wilson Jr. (ribs) is eligible to return from injured reserve as early as Week 5, which could further complicate matters in Miami's backfield. For now, Mostert is a tentative RB2 starter for next Sunday versus a New York Giants defense that's been shredded on the ground through three games.
