Richardson missed Wednesday's team practice with a foot ailment, although the day off was more for routine maintenance than for nursing any concerning injury back to health. Head Coach Jeff Fisher has also indicated that Richardson's status for Week 2 versus the Falcons is not in doubt and that his feature-back was just in need of some rest.
Fantasy Spin: Nothing to see here. Richardson's absence from practice is not to be interpreted as anything concerning either in the short term or the long term. Opportunity alone will make him a solid flex play this week, although upside is limited versus a solid Falcons front seven. Isaiah Pead also returns to action after serving a one-game suspension, but he is no threat to significantly cut into Richardson's workload this week.
