Paul Richardson, WR, Seattle Seahawks

Yahoo! Ownership: 21%

Paul Richardson was a favorite of many in deep fantasy leagues to start the season. However, with Tyler Lockett out-snapping him each of the last two weeks, Richardson has found his ownership rates dip, despite hauling in a touchdown in each of the last two games. With Doug Baldwin hurting this week, the fourth-year wideout finds his way back on the streaming radar due to a tasty matchup.

Despite sluggish production for most of the year, the Seattle Seahawks are projected to score 27.25 points this week, the 4th-most of any team in the NFL. The reason for the confidence? The Indianapolis Colts and their shaky defense are coming to town.

The Colts have allowed the 2nd-most points per game (30.0), while opponents have exploited a depleted secondary to the tune of 283.7 yards per game through the air. Opposing wide receivers have scored 26.0 fantasy points per game, the 6th-most in the NFL this season.
