Daryl Richardson (foot) sits out of practice, fantasy value slipping a bit
Daryl Richardson sat out of practice on Wednesday. We break down the fantasy implications.

Richardson started hot, but cooled off to finish with 10 carries for 35 yards and five receptions for 45 yards. He had a bad drop that led to a pick six and his snaps went down after that.
Backup Isaiah Pead didn’t do much on the stat sheet with one carry and two catches, but he saw just 10 less snaps than Richardson. It’s unclear if it was based on performance or if Richardson’s foot was acting up.
Fantasy impact: The Rams are moving the ball well and have scored 25.5 points per game over their two road games. In other words, this is a situation that all owners should be worth watching and Pead's snaps gives him a lot of value one way or another. Richardson seems like a go against the Cowboys and can be viewed as a flex for now.
