Remember when the Colts "stole" running back Trent Richardson from the Cleveland Browns for a first-round pick? Yeah, we don't either. Richardson has been a joke in the backfield and his 2.9 yards-per-carry average in 2013 may have been the single worst stat among starting running backs, especially considering Andrew Luck is his quarterback.
Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 5: Trent Richardson
Trent Richardson actually showed up to a football game in Week 4. Should fantasy owners start him in Week 5 against the Ravens?


Well, he finally turned in a productive game in Week 4, rushing for 47 yards to go with 52 receiving yards and one touchdown. Of course, he did need 20 carries to get to that total, which results in a 2.4 yards-per-carry average. In other words: Welp!
The Colts get a tough matchup this week against the Baltimore Ravens. They rank seventh against the run and Richardson will have a very tough time getting over 3.0 yards per carry.
Fantasy impact: Ahmad Bradshaw is a little banged up, but it's still too tough to start Richardson. The Colts will be counting on Luck a ton and should take advantage of Baltimore's 24th-ranked passing D. Richardson is barely worth owning.
