Trent Richardson's comfort level 'so much better'

A familiar song is emanating from Indianapolis during training camp. The hook of that tune states that everything is on the up-and-up for Colts RB Trent Richardson.

This version of that now-familiar ballad comes back to the Colts' running back being more "comfortable" with the offense in his first offseason under offensive coordinator Pep Hamilton.

"The comfort level is so much better now," Richardson said, per ESPN.com. "I know the plays and I'm not playing so tight. I'm really comfortable with the offense, and the timing with the offensive line is coming. I know all my cuts and reads before snap."

Fantasy Impact: 

The running back recently returned from a hamstring tweak that kept him out of the beginning of training camp. The health and familiarity with the game plan have the Colts once again singing the praises of 2012's No. 3 overall pick. TRich has looked good so far in camp which means a bounce-back season could prove to be a huge value for an owner who drafts him. However, Richardson's stock is climbing. We have him ranked 31st on our RB list, but his ADP of the 6th round is higher than guys ranked around him like Lamar Miller, Maurice Jones-Drew and Pierre Thomas, who can be had in the seventh round or later.

Colts pleased with running game

Colts QB Andrew Luck praised an impressive day for the Colts run game, Saturday.

HC Chuck Pagano had this to say on Trent Richardson’s progression through camp: “No. 1, he’s healthy. I think some of the runs that you’re talking about you are starting to see the hard work, a full offseason, comfort with the scheme, terminology, being around the offensive guys, the guys that are lined up in front of him, and you are starting see (Richardson) put a foot in the ground, see a hole and burst through the line of scrimmage.”

Writer Kevin Bowen’s Analysis: We’ve seen Richardson full-go for the last three practices (two of them in full pads) and he looks like a guy the Colts need desperately in 2014. He had several “significant gains” during Saturday’s practice and is showing off some cuts that we didn’t see earlier this offseason. Pagano seemed very pleased with where Richardson is currently at, as camp reaches the halfway point. Richardson’s return has also allowed the Colts to lessen the load for Ahmad Bradshaw, which is nice for a veteran that has battled injuries throughout his career.

Fantasy Impact: 

Richardson continues to get positive reviews in camp, and if the Colts can get anything out of him in 2014 it will create some balance with what should be a potent passing attack. Richardson ranks 31st on our list, but his ADP is the 6th round. Drafters seem to be taking a gamble here and if you want TRich, you likely will have to as well. We have Richardson ranked near guys like Lamar Miller, Pierre Thomas, Maurice Jones-Drew and Steven Jackson - and all of their ADPs are the 7th round or later.

Saints RB Mark Ingram doesn’t just want to be a good running back. He doesn’t just want to be a great running back. He doesn’t just want to be the best running back in the NFL.

He wants to be greater than any running back who has ever played the game of football.

“The sky’s the limit, man. I want to be the best back to ever play the freakin’ game of football,” Ingram said, via ESPN.

Through three NFL seasons since the Saints took him in the first round of the 2011 draft, Ingram has fallen slightly short of being the best ever. He has 356 carries for 1,462 yards and 11 touchdowns so far in his career. Those numbers wouldn’t even make him the best running back in the NFL if he had compiled them in one year, let alone three.

Fantasy Impact: 

A key thing to note here is the Saints declined to pick up the fifth-year option on Ingram’s rookie deal, meaning he’s heading into a contract year - also meaning he's got some motivation. There’s a good chance that the Saints will move on from Ingram in 2015, with Pierre Thomas still in place as the starter and second-year running back Khiry Robinson showing promise as a backup to Thomas.

Saints RB Tarvaris Cadet is expecting a larger role in the offense.

"Coach Payton is a mastermind," Cadet said. "He knows all of our tendencies and what not. I'm pretty sure he will put all of his players in the right positions to be successful.

"I feel like my role is going to increase a whole lot."

For all his talent, Cadet hasn't shown enough as running back to move up the depth chart in front of Mark Ingram, Khiry Robinson and Pierre Thomas. Same at receiver, where Marques Colston, Kenny Stills, Robert Meachem, rookie Brandin Cooks and others are expected to form the rotation.

Maybe Cadet is ready to change the rotation.

Fantasy Impact: 

Cadet was the first name that sprung to mind when the team traded Darren Sproles away, but then the Saints drafted the speedy Brandin Cooks. Cadet's role is to be determined.
