Jalen Richard News
The Pittsburgh Steelers have worked out running back Jalen Richard. The organization also worked out Wayne Gallman as they seek another back before the season begins. Najee Harris is expected to handle a bulk of the work in Pittsburgh. Behind him, Anthony McFarland and Benny Snell would see carries, assuming Harris misses time. Richard spent six seasons with the Raiders, so he does have experience. He'd be a nice addition as depth, but fantasy managers shouldn't expect much from him with Harris healthy.
The Las Vegas Raiders activated running back Jalen Richard from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Tuesday. Richard missed the team's last two games after testing positive for the virus on Dec. 7. With Kenyan Drake (ankle) done for the rest of the season, Peyton Barber and Trey Ragas combined for six touches behind lead-back Josh Jacobs in the blowout loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 14. Richard has just five carries for eight yards and eight receptions for 45 yards in six games played this season, but he should have a much bigger pass-catching role in the Raiders backfield the rest of the way with Drake out. The 28-year-old is worth a flier off the waiver wire in deep PPR leagues heading into Saturday's clash against the Cleveland Browns.
Las Vegas Raiders running back Jalen Richard wasn't spotted at practice on Wednesday. Richard tested positive for COVID-19 last weekend and was placed on the COVID-19 list on Sunday morning. He's believed to be vaccinated, so he could return in Week 14 against the Kansas City Chiefs if he is asymptomatic and returns two negatives tests 24 hours apart. Richard's status is worth monitoring now that Kenyan Drake is out for the rest of the season after fracturing his ankle in the Week 13 loss to the Washington Football Team. Richard, not Peyton Barber, should see more pass-catching opportunities behind Josh Jacobs the rest of the way. Although there probably won't be much volume, Richard is stash-worthy in deep PPR leagues.
