Paul Richardson saw a drastic drop in production against Washington Sunday. The Seattle Seahawks wideout caught a perfect three passes on three targets for 41 yards in the loss. This was a week after going off for 105 yards and two touchdowns in Week 8. Richardson leads the Seahawks’ receivers in touchdowns and ranks second in receiving yards. He is fourth on the team in targets and receptions.

Thursday night could go either way for Richardson. It will mainly depend on how QB Russell Wilson plays. The Cardinals have some well-known corners and safties, however their passing defense ranks 21st overall and has allowed the fifth-most receiving yards to opposing wideouts in the league.
Fantasy impact: Richardson remains low on the target list for Wilson, which is not ideal for fantasy. However, he’s been very efficient in catching 100 percent of his passes twice in the last three games. Thursday night, the Cardinals defense will have to cover a lot of receiving weapons. While he could be a boom or a bust, Richardson should still get enough action this week to make a fantasy impact.
