The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports that Browns RB Trent Richardson (ribs) will be evaluated "on a week-to-week basis to see if he needs time off." Richardson was benched at halftime in Week 7 against the Colts when it became obvious he wasn't 100%. He had only eight yards on eight carries.
Trent Richardson week-to-week: Fantasy implications
Trent Richardson will be evaluated on a week-to-week basis, and his Week 8 status is up in the air. We break down the fantasy implications.
Brian Spurlock-US PRESSWIRE
Richardson has just 348 rushing yards and 3.4 YPC on the season as he battled various ailments.
Fantasy Impact: Richardson’s Week 8 status is probably up in the air now, and the Browns don’t have their bye until Week 10, so it’s going to be a lot of touch-and-go for fantasy owners.
Keep an eye on the practice reports this week, but don’t count on T-Rich as anything more than a low RB2 until he’s proven to be 100%. He’s too risky to lock into your lineups right now.
