Trent Richardson

RB Michael Dyer standing out at Raiders camp

Undrafted free agent RB Michael Dyer has stood out in the early stages of Raiders camp. Dyer has performed well while the expected backup, former first-round pick Trent Richardson, has yet to get on the field. He is on the non-football illness list.

Dyer continued to take advantage of his extra reps on Sunday and he broke off a few long runs.

"I think Michael's done a nice job developing from what we saw in the spring to now," Oakland coach Jack Del Rio said. "He's more comfortable, he's more accountable, more dependable in special teams units and the offense. Every now and then he'll pop through there and show some of that speed that he has, so I think he's off to a nice start."

Dyer was a freshman standout at Auburn, but had several issues and ended up going to three colleges. He was always considered an NFL-type talent, but his off-field problems dropped him off draft boards.

Richardson's entrance into the NFL was much different. He was the No. 3 overall pick by Cleveland. The Browns gave up on him in 2013 and traded him to Indianapolis for a first-round pick. He was cut this offseason. The Raiders surprised many in the league by giving the 25-year-old Richardson $600,000 in guaranteed money even though he has a career per carry yardage average of 3.3.

Fantasy Impact: 

Del Rio wouldn't say what Richardson's issue is, the story said, but he did say Richardson, who is 5-foot-9, had dropped weight and is weighing in the 220-pound range. Richardson ballooned when he left Alabama and he reportedly weighed in the 240s last season. Latavius Murray, of course, is expected to take over the feature back role for the Raiders, but keep an eye on Dyer as someone would could very well end up passing Richardson on the depth chart.

Raiders RB Trent Richardson placed on NFI list

The Oakland Raiders held their first practice of training camp on Friday in Napa, Calif., but Trent Richardson didn't participate. Oakland announced the former Alabama All-American had been placed on the non-football injury list.

The non-football injury list is for players who get hurt away from team activities, although the Raiders did not announce an injury for Richardson. His placement on the NFI list also might indicate he did not pass or did not take Thursday's conditioning test.

While on the NFI list, Richardson can't practice with the team. He'll be immediately eligible to practice once the designation is removed.

The NFI designation comes two days after Vic Tafur of the San Francisco Chronicle reported "whispers are that the Trent Richardson reclamation project is not going so well."

Fantasy Impact: 

It doesn't appear that Richardson is much of a threat to the workload of Latavius Murray. We're more worried about Roy Helu at this point.

Colts Beat: Andrew Luck's arm should mean success for Frank Gore

It turns out that 69 percent of Frank Gore's rushing attempts last year with the 49ers were made against a defense that had seven or fewer players in the box. Gore rushed for 833 yards and three touchdowns on 179 attempts when there were seven men in the box.

When it came to facing at least eight men in the box, Gore rushed 76 times for 273 yards and a touchdown last season. Gore's 833 yards against seven or fewer defenders in the box would have been enough to lead the Colts in total rushing in each of the past seven seasons.

As far as the Colts go, Trent Richardson was their leading rusher when facing seven or fewer defenders in the box. He had 134 attempts for 445 yards and a touchdown last season.

The Colts didn't have much success rushing the ball when teams loaded the box against them. Richardson, Ahmad Bradshaw, Andrew Luck, Zurlon Tipton and Daniel “Boom” Herron combined to rush for 153 yards on 59 attempts, which is more than 100 yards less than what Gore rushed for.

The numbers don't lie.

Fantasy Impact: 

The writer concludes that Gore should have plenty of success running the ball this season if the offensive line does its job, because the Colts have too many weapons on offense for defenses to load the box to try to slow Gore down. The hope for the Colts is Gore finally gives them a consistent rushing attack to go with Luck and give the team a bit of balance. Gore is listed 12th on our RB list making him a low-end RB1. Based on ADP, he falls right in that "next tier" of RBs - as the first 11 RBs on our list have ADPs in the first or early second rounds, while Gore's ADP is the early third round. He presents a nice value if you can land him in the third.

There’s no clearer sign that running back Trent Richardson’s career has not gone as planned than the fact that he’s starting his fourth NFL season on his third team after being the third overall pick by the Browns in the 2012 draft.

If there’s an optimistic spin to put on Richardson signing with the Raiders after an ineffective pair of years in Indianapolis following a trade with Cleveland for a first-round pick, it’s that Richardson will get a fresh start with a new coaching staff. While discussing all of the team’s options at running back, offensive line coach Mike Tice said that the Alabama product has made a good early impression in Oakland.

“Each one has their own style,” Tice said on Sirius XM NFL Radio, via the Raiders website. “I like the [Latavius] Murray kid. He really came on in that veteran mini-camp. He got his legs under him and showed some quickness, some good finish. I thought the young man out of Alabama came on. He lost some weight, his quickness came around.”

Fantasy Impact: 

Thanks to Murray, Richardson is way down our RB list at 97. Richardson hasn’t gotten high marks on quickness in his first two stops in the NFL, making Tice’s observation a step in the right direction for a player who hasn’t taken enough of them in the last three years, the story said. The Raiders also have Roy Helu, so Richardson will have to battle for playing time.
