2021 Rush/Rec Projections
2020 Fantasy Outlook
While Richard once again played every game for the Raiders last season, his production took a step backward as rookie Josh Jacobs assumed No. 1 duties in the backfield, and the No. 2 role was divided fairly equally between Richard and DeAndre Washington. Richard's 3.7 yards per carry, 75 total touches and 468 scrimmage yards were each career lows as the undersized back struggled to find a major role in the offense. There were positives, however, as he's largely put the fumbling issues from earlier in his career behind him, and his elusiveness and balance in the open field still made him a big-play threat as a receiver - five of his 36 receptions last season went for at least 20 yards. With Washington now out of the picture, Richard's role could grow behind Jacobs. Read Past Outlooks
RANKS

Finishes with only 261 total yards
Richard finished 2020 with a 22/123/1 rushing line and 19/138/0 receiving line in 13 games.
ANALYSIS
Richard didn't provide much of a return in the first season of a two-year, $7 million extension, with his role largely limited to obvious passing situations or garbage time. Even if they aren't ready to use Josh Jacobs in a three-down role, the Raiders aren't likely to bring Richard back at his scheduled $3.5 million cap hit for 2021. His return to the team likely would hinge on accepting a pay cut.

2016
While little else went right for the Raiders offense in its first year with Jon Gruden back at the helm, Richard thrived. He more than doubled his career totals in targets, catches and receiving yards, and his 81 targets tied him for seventh among running backs with Todd Gurley and Nyheim Hines. Short but not small at 5-8, 205, Richards is capable of moving piles thanks to his low center of gravity and strong leg drive, and he also possesses outstanding elusiveness and footwork. His 4.7 YPC in 2018 was actually the lowest of his career, but 11 fumbles the last two seasons (including a few on special teams) put a dent in his argument to see more work on the ground. Richard's skills as a receiver are his bread and butter, and with rookie Josh Jacobs replacing Marshawn Lynch at the top of the Oakland depth chart, the setup isn't likely to change much. If anything, Richard could see a bit more work in his fourth NFL season if Jacobs has any trouble adjusting to the pros or struggles with a larger workload than he saw in college. The inconsistent and aging Doug Martin returns as Richard's primary competition for backup snaps.
