Cleveland Browns running back Trent Richardson was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, per Nate Ulrich. Richardson was listed on the team's injury report with rib, chest and finger injuries -- natural wear and tear from being the team's workhorse.
Trent Richardson, a solid fantasy option despite being banged up
Cleveland Browns running back Trent Richardson was a full participant in practice on Wednesday. We breakdown the fantasy implications.
David Richard-US PRESSWIRE
Regardless of his presence on the injury report, Richardson was not limited in practice and should be expected to start this Sunday versus the Dallas Cowboys. And coming off the bye, Richardson should be well rested and ready to assume the brunt of the work.
Fantasy Analysis: It’s rare that a rookie running back comes along and can be as reliable as T-Rich. The rookie first-rounder was able to step in and be the workhorse back for the Browns almost immediately. He’s had several big games this season, as an all-purpose machine.
Including PPR leagues, Richardson is a must-start. Make sure he’s in your lineup this weekend, even when the Browns take on the top-15 run defense of the Cowboys.
