News: 7 hours agoPatrick caught all three of his targets for 68 yards in Sunday's 47-9 win over the Cowboys.

Spin: Patrick has established himself as the No. 3 wide receiver for the Lions this season, setting season highs in catches and yards against Dallas. The 30-year-old has yet to find the end zone this year and he came up just short with an eight-yard reception in the second quarter, which was originally called a touchdown on the field before being overturned. Patrick has now compiled eight catches for 140 yards over four games with Detroit in 2024.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: A solid, sure-handed receiver -- a 64% catch rate on his targets with only two drops in 2020 and 2021 combined -- Patrick had his past two seasons entirely wiped out due to injuries, 2022 by to a torn ACL suffered during an early preseason practice and 2023 by a torn Achilles suffered on a non-contact play almost a year to the day later. That fuels scads of questions about his ability to stay on the field, though his consistent contributions when he does might prove plenty helpful to the retooling Broncos. Patrick could threaten Marvin Mims Jr. for No. 2 receiver duties in the best-case scenario, which makes him a final-round dart throw worth monitoring during the preseason.
