Jalen Richard to play a prominent role in Raiders' Week 8 offense
Oakland Raiders running back Jalen Richard is expected to play a prominent role in the offensive game plan for Week 8.
What It Means:
With Marshawn Lynch slated to miss the game due to suspension, Richard and DeAndre Washington will split snaps and touches in the Raiders' backfield. Richard has been used as a change of pass back this season, not seeing more than 17 snaps in a game with Washington and Lynch playing. He is projected for 13.0 touches against the Buffalo Bills.
Our models project Richard for 68.7 total yards and 0.4 touchdowns for 11.0 FanDuel points on Sunday.
