Anyone think Trent Richardson can turn things around in 2014?

Anybody?

 

[Microwahevo]

I do. Is that good enough?

 

[SteelersPride]

hes gonna get the chance in a good offense

Tbh, he has nowhere else to go but up. But I think with the entire offseason, and him realizing he sucked donkey balls, he'll improve. He's just gotta stop getting so jumpy at the line, a la CJ1k. He's got good hands so he'll always be a great option out of the backfield.

And I didn't keep him in a 6-player keeper league for nothing. I remain confident he'll turn it around b

I think he'll be in the 1200-1500 yard range, which is solid. I don't see him doing the shock & awe type stuff, but he'll be a solid RB2.

Anyone think any of the rookie RBS will be more productive. I know it's very hard to tell before we see what teams these rookies end up on, but with that said does anyone value even one rookie coming out more than they value Trich?

There' s multiple issues the I see when it comes to rookie RB's next season.

First. . There aren't many teams that need a RB.. At least not as it would apply in fantasy terms. There's probably a lot of places that need a compliment to what they have. But teams who need a RB to be the main ball carrier, or even half a committee? Not many at all. Cleveland, maybe Tennessee, Jacksonville, maybe the Jets, and MAYBE the Falcons looking to secure SJAX replacement.
And then you have the potential free agents who could all potentially still be "the guy" wherever they end up. Chris Johnson, MJD, DMC, Moreno.. Just for starters. I think it's a fairly safe assumption that at least 2-3 of those guys fill many of the aforementioned job openings.
And finally. . The biggest knock on rookie RB'S had always been the ability to pick up the intricacies of pass blocking. The way the league is just completely turning into pass first, pass often. . It's going to be harder and harder for a rookie RB to see quality playing time.
I all honesty. . About the only rookie RB I would elect to get excited about would be whoever Cleveland drafts, assuming they stay out of the free agent market.

I am hoping to get him on my fantasy team in the late rounds as a sleeper. As good as he was in college, it's hard to imagine he won't do better.

Colts are growing as a team, look to be heading in the right direction, so I'd give TRich a shot as my RB3 if that's how the chips fall in my drafts this year. Hard to say that he won't be in a legit RBBC though. D Brown did his best to prove he can stay in the mix in 2014. If the Defense improves, Colts should see some short fields and that could mean more TDs, but hard to say they go to TRich automatically.

In a perfect world, none of my fantasy teams next year will be relying on TRich as anything more than a bye week fill in.

After being out performed on his 'old' team by Edwin Baker and Chris O, then Donald Brown on his new team - I think that pretty much says it all. .... if he's there in the 8th rd I may take a shot as a RB 4.

 

[Bunkamania]

All I can tell you is that he will be crashing and burning on someone else's team next year and not mine.

 

[Ram Tough]

The colts needs to Bolster there O-Line..and Trent needs to work on his vision and acceleration. If Nicks can stay healthy, he and Hilton should open up running lanes in the downfield passing attack. Trent should have a bounce back year espically with Donald leaving town. I can see him as a Top 20 potiential Top 15 back.. But he has to work hard this off-season and that will be somthing to look at come July.

Anyone think Trent Richardson can turn things around in 2014?

I'm not sure it's possible for him to do any worse.
