The Facts:
Not since 2004, when Marshall Faulk was still the starter, has anyone other than Steven Jackson been the Rams’ No. 1 running back. But with Jackson now in Atlanta, someone else will be carrying the load in St. Louis this year. And at the moment, the Rams think that “someone” will be Richardson. The Rams’ training camp media guide calls Richardson, a 2012 seventh-round pick who rushed for 475 yards on 98 carries as a rookie, the projected starter on offense.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Isaiah Pead, the Rams’ 2012 second-round pick, is currently projected as the No. 2 running back and Zac Stacy, a fifth-round pick this year, is projected as the No. 3 running back. Terrance Ganaway will likely be the fourth and last running back on the regular-season roster. ... Although Richardson is clearly the early leader in this competition, it is a competition. Pead and Stacy will have ample opportunity to win the starting job -- or certainly to carve out significant roles -- in August. It's a situation we'll be watching closely.
