Jalen Richard

It was clear the primary back was going to Josh Jacobs in Oakland going forward. I hate to say it because he’s such a good talent, but if you have Richard, it’s time to move on.

However, he can be a handcuff if you have Jacobs or you can package him to someone who has Jacobs in a trade for a handcuff. I’m not one to roster handcuffs, but rookie running backs can be injured due to the excitement of the game. Adrian Peterson hurt his hamstring, David johnson tore his ACL, and Todd Gurley hurt his patella tendon.

Richard is a roster only if you have Jacobs but a drop in any other situation.
