Trent Richardson will not be demoted: Fantasy implications
The Browns do not plan on reducing Trent Richardson’s carries despite his struggles. We break down the fantasy implications.

Richardson has 247 carries for 869 yards, a meager 3.5 YPC. Meanwhile, backup Montario Hardesty has rushed 46 times for 147 yards and 4.7 YPC.
Fantasy Impact: It hasn’t been an ideal rookie year for the No. 3 overall pick, who has dealt with injuries and poor O-line play. That said, he does have nine touchdowns on the year and still gets plenty of goal-line carries.
Fantasy owners should keep rolling with T-Rich as a high-end RB2 against the Redskins in the fantasy semifinals.
