RB Trent Richardson has a successful knee surgery and is expected to be ready for the regular season. We break down the fantasy implications.
The Cleveland Browns have announced that RB Trent Richardson's arthroscopic knee surgery was a success and expect him to be ready in time for the regular season. Head coach Pat Shurmur released the following statement, via Gregg Rosenthal on Twitter: "We anticipate that Trent will make a speedy recovery, and are hopeful that he will be ready for our Week 1 game."
Analysis: Browns fans and fantasy owners can breath a sigh of relief that the knee injury really was a minor "hang nail", despite a visit to sports medicine guru James Andrews. Assuming his recovery goes well, he will be a big boost to an anemic Cleveland offense and fantasy rosters alike. However, there are enough lingering concerns--the lack of preseason reps and reports that he won't get a heavy workload his rookie year--that taking him in the 1st round may be a reach.
