Fantasy Football

The Facts:
Following up on a previous item, Cleveland Browns running back Trent Richardson will have an MRI on Monday to determine the severity of a painful rib injury that knocked him out of Sundays 34-24 win over the Bengals. Reported by Profootballtalk.com

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The Browns (and fantasy owners) hope the rib injury is little more than a bruise, given how important Richardson is to Cleveland's offense. Losing the rookie running back for any length of time would be significant. Montario Hardesty was serviceable as a fill in, rushing for 56 yards and a touchdown. We'll update Richardson's status heading into Week 7 once the MRI results are in.
