Veteran RB Trent Richardson (Ravens) went unclaimed on waivers Wednesday, Aug. 3, from the Baltimore Ravens and he is now an unrestricted free agent.

Fantasy Tip: Richardson might return to the Ravens, but with workhorse Justin Forsett, Buck Allen, Lorenzo Taliaferro and Kenneth Dixon, as well as Terrance West, it's a crowded backfield with very little chance of T-Rich having fantasy appeal anytime soon.

Updating a previous report, free-agent RB Trent Richardson (Ravens) was cut to create a spot for a receiver, and the Baltimore Ravens could re-sign him.

Baltimore Ravens RB Kenneth Dixon (knee), RB Trent Richardson (knee) and RB Lorenzo Taliaferro (foot) are out of practice Friday, July 29.

Fantasy Tip: Dixon is the only one of the trio that probably has a spot on the roster. T-Rich and Taliaferro are competing with others for the final running back spot. Neither is worth much fantasy consideration yet with so much depth and uncertainty on the roster. Dixon is in the RB5 mix.

Baltimore Ravens RB Justin Forsett expects to hang onto the starting job and do the bulk of the work at the running back position ahead of RBs Javorius Allen, Kenneth Dixon, Lorenzo Taliaferro and Terrance West. The team also has RB Trent Richardson (knee) competing for a roster spot. While Forsett might be optimistic, he is 31 and the team is leaning toward reducing his carries.

Fantasy Tip: The Ravens are very deep at the running back position, but Forsett plans on being the bell cow and it's hard to bet against him. However, it is a good idea to nab Buck Allen as a handcuff just to be on the safe side.

Baltimore Ravens WR Steve Smith (Achilles'), WR Breshad Perriman (knee) and RB Trent Richardson (knee) were placed on the Physically Unable to Perform list Saturday, July 23.

Fantasy Tip: Smith and Perriman are still expected to be ready for the start of the regular season, although neither of them will probably play much in the preseason. Richardson can be avoided in fantasy drafts, while Smith and Perriman should be drafted as a low-end WR3 to high-end WR4 and WR5, respectively.

Baltimore Ravens RB Justin Forsett is still the "clear lead dog" in the Ravens' backfield, according to Ryan Mink of baltimoreravens.com. The starting job is Forsett's to lose, with RBs Javorius Allen, Kenneth Dixon, Lorenzo Taliaferro, Terrance West and Trent Richardson lurking behind him.

Fantasy Tip: Baltimore is deep at running back, but Forsett is a proven success and should be the lead back as long as he's healthy. Allen and Dixon are probably the most likely to compete for playing time, and both are worth late-round picks in traditional fantasy leagues. Forsett has more value in PPR leagues and should be viewed as an RB3 in such formats.

Baltimore Ravens RB Trent Richardson (knee) is a long shot to make the 53-man roster, in the opinion of ESPN.com's Jamison Hensley.

Fantasy Tip: Richardson recently underwent surgery and may not be ready for training camp, which will hurt his chances to make the team. He would not have much value if he makes the team and may not be able to find another team if he is released. Owners in all leagues should avoid him.

Baltimore Ravens RB Trent Richardson (knee) will likely need arthroscopic knee surgery this offseason for a pre-existing issue. He will miss some time, but the extent of that missed time was not disclosed.

Fantasy Tip: Even a healthy Richardson wouldn't have much fantasy value at this point in his career. He can continue to be avoided.

Baltimore Ravens RB Trent Richardson (hamstring) is not on the field for the final day of mandatory minicamp Thursday, June 16.

Fantasy Tip: T-Rich must do a lot this offseason to prove he even belongs on Baltimore's roster, and he's not off to a good start. The monumental draft bust must prove in training camp next month that he's healthy and in good shape if he's to be on roster in Week 1. It seems like an uphill battle, and even if he does make the squad, he's unlikely to see meaningful touches in the regular season.
