The Post-Dispatch does not expect the Rams to go after a running back in free agency even if Steven Jackson signs elsewhere.

The Rams don't have a lot of money to play with under the cap and appear somewhat content with their current stable. "[Isaiah] Pead toward the end of the year, Daryl [Richardson] at the beginning and middle, proved they can play in the league," general manager Les Snead said. The Rams could also add a rookie to the mix via April's draft, in which they have two first-round picks. Barring a surprise re-signing of Jackson, expect a committee to form in 2013.

Daryl Richardson totaled 14 yards on four offensive touches in the Rams' Week 17 loss to the Seahawks.

Richardson received two carries but didn't gain a single yard while he picked up 14 yards on two catches out of the backfield. He was actually out-touched by fellow rookie back Isaiah Pead in the regular season finale. Richardson, a seventh-round pick out of Abilene Christian, posted a final line of 98 carries for 475 yards while adding 24 catches for another 163 yards. With Steven Jackson set to test the free agent market this offseason, Richardson and Pead could be asked to carry the load in 2013. It's too early to tell, though.

Daryl Richardson rushed three times for only six yards in St. Louis' Week 13 win over the 49ers, adding three catches for seven yards.

It's the new normal for Richardson, who was out-touched 26-6 by Steven Jackson. S-Jax has seen the ball 68 more times than his rookie backup since the Rams' Week 9 bye. D-Rich is a pure handcuff in redraft leagues, though he is a high-end one.

Daryl Richardson rushed seven times for 32 yards in St. Louis' Week 12 win over the Cardinals.

He wasn't targeted in the passing game. For the third straight week, Richardson operated as a pure change-of-pace back, running the ball 17 fewer times than Steven Jackson. Richardson has been out-touched by Jackson 70-22 since the Rams' Week 9 bye. Richardson is a high-upside stash for Jackson owners in the event S-Jax goes down, but appears poised to remain little more than a handcuff through the fantasy playoffs.
