Ahmad Bradshaw outdoes Trent Richardson in fantasy again

Both Colts running backs managed to score touchdowns in Week 6. We break down the fantasy implications.

Ahmad Bradshaw rushed for 34 yards on 11 carries and caught three passes for 25 yards and a touchdown in Week 6 against the Houston Texans. Trent Richardson rushed for 41 yards and a touchdown on 17 carries. He didn't receive a single target in the passing game.

Richardson's touchdown was a gift in the first quarter, as T.Y. Hilton was ruled down on a deep pass just five yards short of the goal line. Bradshaw caught his touchdown from five yards out, proving once again to be a great red zone target.

Fantasy impact: Another paltry 2.4 yards per carry for Richardson. It was like night and day watching the two rotate out of the backfield in the third quarter. The Colts' offense seems held back by trying to force the ball to Richardson. Bradshaw is older, though, and given his injury history, they don't want him constantly on the field.

Bradshaw now has five receiving touchdowns spread across four games in 2014. He's a great flex play every week. Richardson is flex-worthy in some leagues, but if he's not catching passes, his value takes a big hit.
