Jalen Richard gains 76 yards on 13 touches for Raiders in Week 7
Oakland Raiders running back Jalen Richard rushed 9 times for 31 yards and caught 4 passes (4 targets) for 45 yards in Thursday's Week 7 win over the Kansas City Chiefs.
What It Means:
Marshawn Lynch was ejected in the second quarter on Thursday night, so the Raiders turned to Richard and DeAndre Washington for backfield duties in what was almost a dead-even split. Expect a similar workload against the Buffalo Bills in Week 8 if Lynch is suspended.
Richard scored 9.6 FanDuel points in Week 7 after our models projected him for 6.6, and he's now averaging 6.2 FanDuel points per game this season. Per numberFire Live, he also finished with -2.78 Rushing Net Expected Points, meaning a league average running back would have scored 2.78 more points than Richard did if put in similar situations.
