As title states, is he a flash in the pan, or an automatic rb start the rest of the year? I've targeted a guy that has no depth and metcalf on his team

For DK Metcalf? Yes, you should trade him high if you can get DK.

I couldn't get metcalf, but the Lockett owner reached out to me looking for Patterson. Would you take that trade?

Depends on your depth, but Patterson for Lockett is a good trade

Have ekeler, Henderson, jacobs, Patterson, and Murray. I'm stacked on starting rb's. Thanks for the link. That's some great info!

Personally, I'd keep Patterson. I don't view him as a flash in the pan (at least this season). I've watched the past two Falcons games and he is 100% a pillar of their offense this season. With Mike Davis looking below average, no Julio, Ridley kind of struggling to adjust to being a number 1 with only Pitts filling the void, Patterson is set up very nice the rest of the year. Matt Ryan looks to give him the ball constantly. I don't see that changing.

Geno smith worries me more for Lockett than DK. A lot of Lockett's value are those great deep balls that Wilson throws. I'm not so sure I'd give up Patterson for Lockett.

I also wouldn't say you're stacked at RB, FWIW. Jacobs and Henderson are very hit and miss, imo. Both have struggled with injuries already this year, too.

There's nothing better in FFL than a guy on a mediocre team who gets a ton of touches. They have no other options and other teams can still beat them handedly, so no need to double team him. Enjoy your diamond in the rough or sucker someone desperate by way of injuries into overpaying for him.
