Cleveland Brown running back Trent Richardson was listed as questionable on the team's injury report on Friday. Browns head coach Pat Shurmur said that Richardson got in a good week of a practice, but he appears to be a game time decision.
Trent Richardson injury: Fantasy value dependent upon game time decision
Cleveland Browns running back Trent Richardson is a game time decision today. We breakdown the fantasy implications.

Richardson was limited in all three days of practice this week with a chest and rib injury. Even though he’s a little banged up, there’s a chance the rookie workhorse back is able to go today.
Fantasy Analysis: Richardson was brought in to finally generate some offense. He has accounted for much of the team’s production but this injury has been a minor setback. We’ve that that when healthy and starting, Richardson is already a must-start back.
He is guaranteed to get touches and is a dangerous scoring threat. He will also account for all-purpose yards, which is especially helpful in PPR leagues. If healthy today, Richardson should be in your lineup but expectations should be tempered, as he is set to face a fierce Chargers run defense.
