Richardson suffered an ankle injury last week against the Denver Broncos and was unable to practice all week. The Browns understandably aired on the side of caution with their first round pick, opting to sit him in the meaningless regular season finale.
Fantasy Impact: Trent Richardson has been one of the most reliable fantasy running backs this season, consistently churning out production in the red zone. On the season, Richardson has over 1,200 total yards and 12 touchdowns.
Richardson should absolutely be a first round pick in all fantasy leagues next season. He could even be worth considering in the top five.
