On four carries? That's a small sample size. Sjax at far less than 100% broke off just as large of a gain (13 yards) as Richardson (12) did in that game. They both got bottled up on the rest of their carries. I understand that people want to see more of Richardson, but Sjax isn't nearly as "washed up" as he's being portrayed, it's just wishful thinking at this point. Anyone who thinks he's lost it needs to go back and watch the 1rst quarter of the game vs. WAS. He still looks leagues better than many RBs who saw a drop off around a similar time in their careers. If he can stay healthy (the ultimate kicker at this point, not performance), there's just no way Richardson sees more than a 5-10 touches a game. Hopefully he practices tomorrow.
Pretty lame arguments considering that Jackson had almost triple the carries. I am probably biased because I've got Richardson in every one of my dynasty leagues, but just looking at the stats you could make a pretty good case for him being the more effective player. I think he could potentially do more damage with 15 touches than Jackson could with the same opportunities. And with Jackson hobbled and getting older every day, I don't think it's out of the question that Richardson's role could expand. Is it
probable? Maybe not, but it's certainly
possible.
I cut him last week for many of these reasons. This is in an 8 team league in which there is a roster limit of 4 RBs per team, and he has not been picked up since. Given other injuries, I did not feel I had the luxury of waiting to see if he will rebound later.
