The Facts:
OC Norv Turner, who's produced the NFL's rushing champion on five occasions, thinks Richardson will carry the ball 300 times -- even in this pass-happy league. "Obviously, the trend in the league is to not do that,” Turner said. “But if that player is your best player, then I think it’s probably a good thing to have him in the game and give him the ball.”

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Turner continued “I would hope Trent would have that many carries. That means he’s playing healthy and playing at a pretty high level.” Turner said Richardson, who reported along with rookies last week, has already looked good in pre-camp practices and that the club will be smart with him in camp, coming off a muscle strain in his right shin. ... Assuming he's healthy heading into Week 1, Richardson's Fantasy value will be sky high.
