Trent Richardson, RB, Indianapolis Colts

I'm not actually sure what the general perception of Trent Richardson is at this point, so he may not have true sleeper allure. However, after burning owners last year and failing to reach double-digit fantasy points in his first three games, Richardson has, dare I say, been somewhat useful.

He has averaged 15.8 carries since Week 2, and while he won't be available on your waiver wire, there's a chance he is on your bench - or on somebody else's.

If you have him or could get him, he isn't a bad play in Week 8. With such a volume on the the best offense in football through Week 6, according to our metrics, he provides somewhat of a decent floor, and the Steelers are a bottom-half rushing defense per our numbers.
