Hardesty took the Browns' first-team reps during recent OTAs in Richardson's absence, while Dion Lewis also reportedly saw plenty of action. So far, there has been nothing to suggest that Richardson's status for the Browns' season opener is an any peril, but for the moment it's pretty clear that Hardesty is next in line in the team's RB pecking order, which makes him worthy of a late-round dart in most formats.","date":"Tue Jun 4"},"fullName":"Montario Hardesty","pointsSEASON":28,"seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Hardesty didn't play an offensive snap until Week 5 last year, and was buried until Trent Richardson suffered a rib injury. Once a coveted prospect and second-round draft pick, Hardesty made the most of the opportunity, and saw limited but steady action in relief of T-Rich thereafter. But Chris Ogbonnaya was the third-down back and now Dion Lewis is on the Browns roster. In theory, Hardesty could be a thumping change-of-pace option when Richardson needs a rest. But he's been injured often in his three-year NFL career, and he has no wiggle when he does get looks. Don't expect much.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Mon May 13"},"positionRank":76,"projectedPoints":27}
