Paul Richardson

It's now been four straight weeks where Richardson has posted at least 50 yards or a touchdown, and that's despite not seeing any more than six targets in any game. He needs to start seeing more, though his health may be holding him back, as he's been dealing with knee and shoulder injuries the last few weeks. The Dallas secondary is allowing playing pretty well, as they've allowed just four wide receivers total more than 56 yards through six games. The most you can hope for out of Richardson is a touchdown, as the targets and yardage aren't going to be astronomical. The Cowboys have allowed six wide receiver touchdowns to this point, which is not elite, but five of them have gone to slot-heavy receivers, which Richardson is not. He's in the WR4/5 conversation because he's the top receiver on his team, but that doesn't necessarily make him someone you need or want to play.

Fantasy Impact
