But just because a certain player goes bust one year doesn't mean they'll be a Patty Mills Jersey bust forever.

NFL Fantasy Football (@NFLFantasy) Random observations that others have already made: Cordarrelle Patterson is going to be just fine. Pre-draft questions rapidly evaporating. Ryan Burns (@FtblSickne s) Vikings receiver Greg Jennings says theres no ceiling for Cordarrelle Patterson Sports Illustrated (@SInow) You get the point. Anytime 's name was uttered in mid-2014, it was normally accompanied with breathle s, glowing tributes. ! He led all receivers in fantasy points over the ! Norv Turner is putting in just for him! Did we mention that he's fast?!We all giggled with the delirious, self-satisfied high of validation when Patterson broke off a in a Week 1 win over the . Little did we know that Patterson would visit the end zone just once more in what would become a nightmarish season ... all the while, became a breakout star for the in the latter part of the season.With a change of the season, hope once again springs eternal in the Land of 10,000 Lakes. After questions were raised about Patterson's attitude in 2014, general manager Rick Spielman says the wideout has "." Just as importantly, head coach Mike Zimmer says Patterson is . All of it made me want to go back and see what contributed to DeMarre Carroll Jersey such a major second-year flop and whether or not things could be corrected.What went wrongAs far as swings and mi ses go, this one was near unanimous. While the aforementioned story of Turner installing new plays is probably what ultimately sent the hype train careening out of control, it initially gained steam with Patterson's strong finish to 2013. The Tenne see product averaged 16.1 fantasy points over the last four weeks of the season, thanks in part to plays like the one to the right.Yet, a deeper look into Patterson's rapid rise shows Fabricio Oberto Jersey that much of his succe s was dependent on big plays. He scored seven touchdowns on plays from scrimmage in 2013 with four of them coming on plays of 30 yards or more -- including runs of 33, 35 and 50. That (combined with a pair of 100-plus yard kickoff return TDs) did a lot to enhance Patterson's "Flash" moniker, but it belied a player who lacked explosivene s off the line of scrimmage. It was a weakne s that became much more pronounced when Patterson was asked to become the team's primary wideout in 2014. It was also compounded by his poor route-running and limited grasp of the entire route tree. While an adjustment to a new offensive scheme could have something to do with Patterson's on-field confusion, it is also equally attributable to poor technique.In e sence, Patterson was at his best when he could get a full head of steam going. It's part of what made him a good kick returner as well as making him particularly effective on fly sweeps. But it's also what made Patterson ineffective at getting open downfield as a pa s-catcher. Fun fact: Through Bryn Forbes Jersey two NFL seasons, Patterson averages more yards per carry (12.5) than yards per reception (10.9).What must improveFirst and foremost, Patterson must become a better route-runner -- something that is reportedly in the works (see above). What he lacks in burst and agility, he more than makes up for in straight-line speed. Yet, the deficiencies mandate that Patterson's technique improve if he wants to be able to take advantage of his greatest weapon.The other needed area of improvement has little to do with Patterson himself and more to do with the offense overall. 's return to the lineup is an automatic boost to everyone around him. Part of what made Patterson's fly sweep so devastating was that it usually came after an initial fake to Peterson. That is bound to freeze any linebacker in his track. It's an element that Minnesota lost without Peterson last season. and played well in stretches, but the duo combined for 1,108 yards last season. Compare that to Peterson who rushed for 1,266 yards by himself in a "down" year in 2013.What we expectThe biggest obstacle between and succe s is ... . If he can improve upon some of the skills that are lacking, it wouldn't be a surprise to see him finally have the breakout season we expected last year. The difference is that the expectations won't follow him around in a pa sing game that added and has up-and-comer . That means Patterson isn't guaranteed anything in the way of targets and touches this year. That puts Patterson somewhere between being Flash and being a flash in the pan. It's a far cry from where we were a year ago. Life comes at you fast.Verdict: If you're waiting for a bounce back, keep waiting. Patterson's ceiling is as WR 3/4 this season.Marcas Grant is a fantasy editor for NFL.com Dejounte Murray Jersey and a man who could go for some Los Pollos Hermanos right now.
