Daryl Richardson hasn't appeared in a game since Week 8. Richardson is listed as questionable for Week 15 with a thigh injury. He's been scratched weekly due to injuries and poor performance. D-Rich's YPC has dropped to 3.1 among 69 rushing attempts after averaging 4.8 YPC in 2012.

Rams declared RB Daryl Richardson, CB Brandon McGee, C Scott Wells, OG Shelley Smith, OT Mike Person, DT Jermelle Cudjo, and DE Gerald Rivers inactive for Week 14 against the Cardinals.

Rams RB Daryl Richardson (foot) is inactive for Week 10 against the Colts. As is TE Lance Kendricks (finger). Richardson's absence means Zac Stacy should be backed up by Benny Cunningham, with Isaiah Pead perhaps getting a touch or two. Either way, Stacy is going to cede very few touches to his backups. Also inactive for the Rams are QB Brady Quinn, OG Harvey Dahl, OL Barrett Jones, T Mike Person and DE Gerald Rivers. OT Rodger Saffold is taking Dahl's place at right guard.

Daryl Richardson (foot) was downgraded from limited practice Thursday to no practice on Friday and is questionable for Week 9. Whereas Zac Stacy practiced on both Thursday and Friday and appears all set to play against the Titans, change-of-pace back Richardson's outlook is less clear. Richardson is not worth using in any fantasy leagues this week.

Daryl Richardson rushed for 39 yards on eight carries in Week 8 versus Seattle. Richardson added one catch for eight yards as he saw his most extensive action since Week 5. The second-year back took his first carry 14 yards around the left edge then saw plenty of work on the final drive after Zac Stacy injured his ankle. Richardson has yet to find the end zone in his career and was stuffed at the one-yard line on the second-to-last play Monday night. He could be in line to take over lead-back duties once again if Stacy's injury is serious.

Daryl Richardson rushed 13 times for 48 yards in Sunday's Week 5 win over the Jaguars. As he promised via Twitter early in the week, Richardson did not start. But he didn't completely fall off the radar entirely, working in as a change-of-pace back behind new starter Zac Stacy. And once Stacy left in the fourth quarter due to a rib injury, Richardson took over as the feature back once again. Richardson is now the clear-cut No. 2 option in St. Louis' backfield, but he could start again if Stacy's injury proves serious.

Daryl Richardson backtracked following Wednesday's practice and now says "there will be a competition" at running back this week. Richardson tweeted earlier in the day that he wasn't going to start against the Jaguars on Sunday. Coach Jeff Fisher was then noncommittal on the matter. "I haven't decided yet," Fisher said. "We'll probably play most, if not all of the running backs, if they're active." There is no longer a lead dog in the St. Louis backfield. Richardson, Isaiah Pead, Benny Cunningham, and Zac Stacy could all see action.

Rams coach Jeff Fisher was noncommittal when asked if Daryl Richardson will start this week. "I haven't decided yet," Fisher said. "We'll probably play most, if not all of the running backs, if they're active." The Rams currently have the 32nd ranked rushing offense and are moving to a full-blown committee. Benny Cunningham, Isaiah Pead, and Zac Stacy are all candidates for bigger roles. If Richardson doesn't start, it sounds like he could still be in the mix for change-of-pace duties.
