8 Players You Can't Start In Week 1

Cordarrelle Patterson

Cordarrelle Patterson is everyone's favorite player these days, to the extent that he's swung from somewhat underrated and completely overrated, the Shane Vereen of 2014.

It's certainly true that Patterson is a big-play waiting to happen; it's our guess that those big plays will instead be delivered by Adrian Peterson, who rightfully controls perhaps the biggest chunk of his team's offense, save Jamaal Charles. Going into St. Louis isn't the easiest cakewalk these days - even without Sam Bradford - and the appearance of Aaron Donald makes a stout defense even stronger.

He's startable if you're the underdog in your matchup if you need the potential for a boom; otherwise, you want to instead stick to very stable consistent starters instead: the Julian Edelmans and the Kendall Wrights of the world.
