Buy Or Sell: Cordarrelle Patterson Will Get 50-Plus Offensive Touches For Steelers

Buy Or Sell: The Pittsburgh Steelers will get RB Cordarrelle Patterson 50-plus offensive touches.

Explanation: Although the Steelers signed Cordarrelle Patterson to a two-year, $6 million contract to return kicks, he’s also a skill-position player. In fact, he’s seen his greatest activity playing under new Steelers offensive coordinator Arthur Smith.

His workload declined in 2023, however, and the Steelers have a better-stocked backfield.
