Patten falls off
Like many of the receivers who have lined up across from Marques Colston the last two seasons, David Patten has struggled to keep a hot streak going.
After playing like a WR2 for a four-game stretch (331 yards, one score), Patten has only seven catches for 83 yards the last three weeks. Guys like Terrance Copper, Devery Henderson, and Lance Moore have shown flashes in New Orleans, but not enough consistency to play them every week. Sean Payton's system makes them look great occasionally, but ultimately they aren't talented enough to be weekly fantasy options. Drew Brees is going to spread the ball around except for Colston.
New Orleans needs to address their receiver depth in the offseason again after drafting Robert Meachem last year. And fantasy owners who rode Patten's hot streak need to bench him for the playoffs.
