Trent Richardson Practices Again Wednesday, Week 1 Fantasy Status Appears Safe
Trent Richardson practiced again Wednesday, and appears ready to start Week 1 for the Cleveland Browns. We break down the fantasy implications.
Analysis: Barring an unforeseen setback, Richardson will take the field Sunday for Cleveland. As long as he starts, he should be considered a safe starting fantasy option considering his immense talent and anticipated heavy workload behind an improved Browns offensive line. He is ranked as the No. 19 best fantasy running back in standard leagues for Week 1 by SB Nation.
