Cordarrelle Patterson, WR, Minnesota Vikings

It's easy to already have a strong opinion on Cordarrelle Patterson, with all the hype and "bust" labeling he's gone through from both a real- and fantasy-football perspective.

But he is an interesting (albeit low-floor) fantasy play this week against the Detroit Lions, especially in a point-per-reception (PPR) format.

Patterson has 8 targets in two of the last three games and has topped 14 fantasy points in three of his last six. Obviously, these aren't exactly awe-inspiring numbers, but he draws a phenomenal matchup this week against a Lions team that ranks dead-last in Adjusted Defensive Passing NEP per play on the season.
