Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Paul Richardson played on a season-high 43 of 73 offensive snaps in Sunday's game against the St. Louis Rams. Richardson received the most playing time of his career with Percy Harvin traded to the New York Jets, though he didn't see too many targets in the game. Doug Baldwin and Jermaine Kearse were the starters and played the majority of snaps, and saw 18 targets (and 173 yards) between them.
Paul Richardson plays 43 snaps in wake of Percy Harvin trade; no fantasy value yet
Paul Richardson had a season-high 43 snaps in Sunday’s game against the Rams. We break down the fantasy implications.

Richardson saw five targets go his way (Russell Wilson attempted 36 passes and ended up with 313 yards and a pair of touchdowns, one of his better days this year) and caught four of them for 33 yards with no scores. It wasn't a huge day by any means, but his uptick in snaps is definitely a good sign going forward.
Fantasy Impact: Obviously, the Seahawks passing game hasn’t been particularly strong this year, but Sunday was a good game in that regard. Baldwin and Kearse could be looking at solid fantasy performances in the future, but Richardson still has a ways to go. He’s not worth picking up for fantasy owners just yet, but he’s definitely on the radar.
