Patterson rushed 32 times for 135 yards while securing 12 of 14 targets for 80 yards and a touchdown across 13 regular-season appearances with the Steelers in 2024. Patterson began the regular season on a high note, racking up double-digit yards in three of the first four weeks. However, he missed the next four games due to an ankle injury and didn't generate nearly as much production upon his return. He played single-digit snaps on offense in each of the team's final five regular-season games and was limited exclusively to work on special teams in Pittsburgh's wild-card loss to the Ravens. The 2013 first-rounder still has one more year left on his contract with the Steelers after signing a two-year, $6 million contract with the team in March. While Najee Harris will be an unrestricted free agent during the offseason, and Jaylen Warren will be a restricted free agent, Patterson expressed displeasure with his postseason role following the team's loss to the Ravens, so it's unclear whether he'll see an uptick in work next year if he remains with the team.

Patterson rushed 32 times for 135 yards while securing 12 of 14 targets for 80 yards and a touchdown across 13 regular-season appearances with the Steelers in 2024.

He played single-digit snaps on offense in each of the team's final five regular-season games and was limited exclusively to work on special teams in Pittsburgh's wild-card loss to the Ravens.

Patterson rushed once for two yards during Wednesday's 29-10 loss to Kansas City. Patterson was on the field for just one offensive snap Wednesday, and he had minimal production on his lone carry. The 33-year-old has played single-digit snaps on offense in four consecutive weeks, and he's rushed seven times for 14 yards while securing all three of his targets for nine yards and a touchdown during that time.
Patterson secured his lone target for a 12-yard touchdown during Saturday's 34-17 loss to the Ravens. Although Patterson scored his first touchdown of the season Saturday, he was limited to single-digit offensive snaps for a third consecutive week. Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren have stayed healthy for most of the season, so Patterson hasn't had much of a role on offense.
Patterson rushed twice for nine yards and caught his only target for minus-1 yard in Sunday's 27-13 loss to the Eagles. Patterson played just six of the Steelers' 43 offensive snaps in the contest, as he continues to operate in a depth role behind Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren. The veteran running back holds little fantasy value as long as both Harris and Warren are healthy. Patterson can be ignored for fantasy purposes heading into a Week 16 matchup against the Ravens.
Patterson rushed four times for three yards while securing his lone target for minus-2 yards during Sunday's 27-14 win over the Browns. Patterson had one of his best fantasy performances of the season during last week's high-scoring win over the Bengals, but he didn't see much playing time on offense against Cleveland in Week 14. Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren have seen most of the work out of the backfield this year, and Patterson's fantasy value is limited as long as those two are healthy.
Patterson rushed three times for 16 yards while securing all three of his targets for 37 yards during Sunday's 44-38 win over the Bengals. Although Patterson was on the field for just 10 offensive snaps in Week 13, he saw a considerable amount of work in the high-scoring victory. The 33-year-old had racked up just 12 yards from scrimmage over the last three games, so it was encouraging to see him turn things around against Cincinnati. Despite Patterson's success against the Bengals, Patterson is unlikely to see a significant uptick in playing time as long as Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren remain healthy.
Patterson rushed once for minus-2 yards during Thursday's 24-19 loss to the Browns. After playing 11 offensive snaps in last week's win over the Ravens, Patterson was on the field for just eight offensive snaps in Thursday's primetime matchup. The 33-year-old had recorded double-digit rushing yards in four of his first five appearances of the season, but he didn't rack up any yards last week and was a minimal contributor against the Browns. Patterson continues to see work as a kick returner, but he hasn't had much of an offensive impact recently.
Patterson secured his lone target for no yards while rushing once for no yards during Sunday's 18-16 win over the Ravens. Patterson hasn't been especially productive when healthy this season, but Sunday's Week 11 win marked the first time he was held without any yards during that 2024 campaign. As long as Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren remain healthy, it seems unlikely that Patterson will have much of a role in the Steelers' offense.
Patterson rushed three times for 14 yards during Sunday's 28-27 win over the Commanders. Patterson made his return to the field Sunday after missing the Steelers' four games heading into their Week 9 bye due to an ankle injury. He was on the field for just eight offensive snaps but still logged three touches. Although it's encouraging to see Patterson back in action, he hasn't been a reliable fantasy option when healthy this year.
