Paul Richardson has shown plenty of promise early in his career, but major injuries derailed him every time out. This year, he’s staying healthy and setting new career highs across the board, though it hasn’t always translated into consistent fantasy value.

Last week, Richardson had three catches for 72 yards and a touchdown, his sixth of the season. It’s just the third time all year he’s cleared 70 yards, and he only has one 100-yard game.
Fantasy impact: Richardson has settled in nicely as a deep threat for the Seattle Seahawks, and he has potential for blowup games when Russell Wilson is slinging the ball. However, he’s still a genuine boom-or-bust play, with a concerning floor that makes him a major gamble in the fantasy playoffs.
If you’re searching for high-risk, high-reward options, you might do better than Richardson against the Los Angeles Rams, who held him to 35 yards on three catches back in Week 5.
Recommendation: Start if you’re desperate
