Trent Richardson suffers no setbacks in Week 8: Fantasy implications
Cleveland Browns running back Trent Richardson (rib) suffered no setbacks in Week 8. We break down the fantasy implications.

Richardson was listed as questionable heading into the game and had been pulled from the previous game against the Indianapolis Colts because of the injury. The Browns face the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday.
Fantasy Impact: It’s good to hear that Richardson didn’t suffer a setback but it shouldn’t be a surprise considering how well he ran on Sunday against the Chargers. He is a key piece to this offense and will be relied upon this week against the Baltimore.
Fantasy owners should be able to start Richardson with confidence in Week 9.
