Fantasy Upside
Before getting hurt, Paul Richardson performed fairly well in 2018. The former second-round draft pick scored double digits in PPR leagues in three of the seven games he played in. He’s expected to be healthy and play a big role in Washington’s offense this season, especially with Jamison Crowder leaving.
Fantasy Downside
Washington is bringing back Josh Doctson, Trey Quinn and Brian Quick, and added rookies Terry McLaurin and Kelvin Harmon. The Redskins’ QB situation also isn’t great with either Case Keenum taking over or rookie Dwayne Haskins. There’s just a lot of unknown within this Washington receiving corps.
2019 Bottom Line
Richardson is someone you can draft late with little expectations. He’s not someone to necessarily target, but if you have a deep roster, then he could be worth a late-round flier. He showed some promise in 2018, and there’s a chance he rises to the top of this receiving group.
