Daryl Richardson disappears, putting Isaiah Pead’s fantasy value on the rise
Daryl Richardson had as many touches as Tony Richardson. We break down the fantasy implications.
Rams running back Daryl Richardson did not record a carry, reception or target in Sunday's loss to the Cowboys.
He was dealing with a foot injury in practice all week and barely played in a tough loss. Isaiah Pead took over most of the duties, finishing with six carries for 20 yards and seven receptions for 43 yards on seven targets.
The Rams had some serious issues running the ball and recorded just 35 rushing yards as a team with a 2.9 yards-per-carry average.
Fantasy impact: Pead had a chance to help himself today and couldn’t do it. Dallas’ D isn’t too tough in stopping the run and entered the game as the 11th-ranked team in yards per carry against. The Rams really struggled moving the ball Sunday, leaving practically every member of the team as a disappointing fantasy option. Richardson shouldn’t be cut in fantasy leagues, but there is really no way that Pead can remain on any fantasy wires.
