Should I drop Trent Richardson

[757Hokie83]

major disappointment all year, but is there any hope he will break out and be the player he ought to be? or is this actually the player he is?

 

[SFNL]

Well... Not sure about dropping him, but I wouldn't be playing him.

 

[fordman84]

I dropped him weeks ago. Replaced him with Tolbert-the-vulture in Carolina.

I wouldnt drop him. Someone in your league is desperate for a RB. There is always someone this late in the year. Take advantage of that.

that someone is me

If you dont have another RB that is going to see 10+ carries you kind of have to keep him. What other RB's do you have? Are there any FA options? Ellington, Stacy, Jennings, Leonard maybe.

 

[wilwhite]

It's who he is. It's who he was last year, too - they just kept feeding him the ball in Cleveland last year, which obscured his mediocre effectiveness. He may still pick up a TD now and then, but I doubt you'll ever start him again this year.

I just picked up a couple, went ahead and dropped him....no one trades in my league, I think the one trade that I proposed that was accepted was in the second week of the season, and no one else has done any

picked up Rashad Jennings last week
just picked up Donald Brown
also have DeAngelo Williams and Darren McFadden

tried to pick up Leonard, but someone ahead of me got to him first

Wouldn't drop him, but would look for other options. Trade him if possible.

like I said, no one trades in my league actually after week 1 someone offered me a trade I think it was CJ Spiller and someone else for TRich and someone else, cant remember who...wish i'd have taken it

 

[wilwhite]

It's not like he's coming back from an injury, or has crucial O-line players coming back soon, or is the future of the franchise. I don't know what would change to improve things for him. Even if things did suddenly change, you'd need a couple of solid weeks before trusting him, and then you're in Week 13 already. If you're that thin at RB, much as I hate handcuffs, at this point in the season I'd handcuff your best backs rather than carry TRich around.

Spiller hasn't done shit either.

Spiller hasn't done shit either.

no, but that is still more than Richardson

The Colts have been increasing Brown's carries at the expense of Richardson. Don't think he is going to do much better. Ahmad Bradshaw looked better before he got hurt

 

[packfancjh]

Brown did alright tonight. Just picked him up this morning but left him on my bench and he scores 22points tonight

definitely glad I picked him up and put him in my line up
