No. 6 Jalen Richard vs Cleveland

Richard is another dual-threat back that finds his way on this list. He’s another decent longshot sleeper but his ability to rival receivers on the Raiders offense out of the backfield is important to that team finding a way to win a game.

Richard put up a goose egg in the carries column but was most important in that passing attack with six catches for 59 yards. I think Gruden is seeing that and will utilize that more often to spell the physical game of Marshawn Lynch.

The Browns gave up a pair of touchdowns on the ground against the Steelers and Giants this season and with the abilities of Lynch, Martin and now Richard, I think the latter could be a top target this week against a Browns team that now looks like they’re poised to be 2-1-1.
