Who Should I Start? Jaret Patterson or Evan Hull

Friday, November 7, 6:49 PM

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.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have signed running back Evan Hull to a reserve/future deal on Tuesday. The former fifth-round pick has spent each of the last two seasons with the Indianapolis Colts. He has mostly been on the practice squad with only two actual appearances in those two seasons. The expectation is that Hull will compete for a spot on the active roster during camp. He didn't see much action with the Colts, so maybe a change of scenery will help him.
