Who Should I Start? Jaret Patterson or Brady Russell

Los Angeles Chargers running back Jaret Patterson was called up from the practice squad and made an immediate impact, leading the backfield with 44 yards on nine carries (4.9 YPC) in last week's win over the Tennessee Titans. Although he outperformed Kimani Vidal in efficiency, Vidal remains the primary back. Additionally, Patterson is not heavily involved in the passing game, which limits his weekly floor. He continues to serve as a change-of-pace option, and while he is seeing more snaps, the Pittsburgh Steelers present a tough matchup on the ground. With Hassan Haskins (hamstring) and Omarion Hampton (ankle) on IR until after the Week 12 bye, Patterson is a potential stash for managers in deep leagues, but he should stay on the bench for Week 10.

Exclusive-rights free-agent tight end Brady Russell officially signed his tender on Wednesday to return to the Seattle Seahawks for the 2025 season, according to Seahawks.com's John Boyle. Russell will return for his third year with the team after not catching any passes as a tight end in his first two years with the team. Instead, the 26-year-old has appeared exclusively on special teams and has recorded 17 tackles (11 solo) in 26 games played (zero starts) since debuting in 2023. Russell originally went undrafted out of the University of Colorado before latching on with the Seahawks. He will continue to serve as more of a special-teams asset for Seattle heading into training camp this summer. Russel is nowhere near the fantasy radar.
