Rams running back Daryl Richardson only played one snap Sunday at the Cowboys in Week 3 after his injured foot was stepped on. In his place, the rest of the running backs corps struggled.
Isaiah Pead had six carries for 20 yards and seven catches for 43 yards. Benny Cunningham had four carries for 16 yards and one catch for 6 yards. Zac Stacy was inactive.
Richardson might not be ready for Week 4 against the 49ers since the game is Thursday night, which means Pead and Cunningham might have to step in. We'd give the significant edge to Pead based on his ability to play in the passing game.
Pead had seven targets, and the Rams will likely be throwing all game against the San Francisco defense. Add Pead where needed, and hopefully he does well if Richardson is out.
Ignore Cunningham and Stacy in the majority of leagues.
