Jaret Patterson Signing With Commanders Practice Squad

Tuesday, December 26, 2:50 PM

The Washington Commanders signed running back Jaret Patterson to the practice squad on Tuesday. Patterson signed with Washington after being undrafted in 2021 and rushed 85 times for 344 yards and two touchdowns in 20 games. He was released during final roster cuts ahead of the 2023 season and spent time on the Los Angeles Chargers practice squad until his release on December 20. Brian Robinson Jr. (hamstring), Jonathan Williams (concussion), and Chris Rodriguez Jr. (foot) are all banged up, so Patterson adds much-needed depth to the Commanders' RB room.

Elijah Mitchell Unlikely To Contribute Much In Divisional Round

Friday, January 19, 11:05 PM

San Francisco 49ers running back Elijah Mitchell will back up starter Christian McCaffrey in Saturday night's Divisional Round tilt versus the Green Bay Packers. Mitchell finished the regular season with a career-low 3.7 yards per attempt and two touchdowns, almost exclusively as McCaffrey's injury and garbage-time replacement. Conceivably, DFS players willing to gamble on those scenarios occurring on Saturday could find a healthy return on minimal investment but otherwise, Mitchell should not be considered for fantasy lineups.
