Andre Patton

Patton was the third receiver in Los Angeles last season, but he finished with just six receptions across 13 games. Given Arizona's depth at receiver, Patton faces an uphill battle to make the team and certainly to crack the starting rotation even if Kliff Kingsbury utilizes four-receiver sets more than the 31% clip he used in 2019. Patton's signing shouldn't affect Andy Isabella or Hakeem Butler's dynasty stock.

It's hardly a pivotal final stat line, but with Travis Benjamin (quad) all but assumed to be an offseason cap casualty, Patton figures to be the de-facto No. 3 receiver behind Keenan Allen and Mike Williams next year. A two-year practice squad member, Patton still has a ways to go in order to be a relevant fantasy option, but that could change should the Chargers move away from quarterback Philip Rivers, and offensive funnel that essentially featured just five players --- Allen, Williams, Melvin Gordon, Austin Ekeler and Hunter Henry --- the entire season.

Patton now has four receptions in the last three games, although it's a far cry away from the sheer target dominance of Keenan Allen, Austin Ekeler, Mike Williams and Hunter Henry, who once again commanded the attention of quarterback Philip Rivers. Patton's offensive snaps continue to rise, but a lack of consistent opportunities makes Patton an unusable fantasy option.

Patton made just his second reception since Week 4 despite playing in at least 50 percent of the team's offensive snaps throughout the last seven weeks. The narrow receiving tree doesn't figure to expand significantly if the Chargers ultimately opt to bench their longtime veteran quarterback, Philip Rivers, for a backup option such as Tyrod Taylor.
