Suffers career-ending injury
Richards recently suffered a disabling neck injury that will prevent him from playing football, ending his collegiate career, Barry Jackson and Susan Miller Degnan of The Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Richards hadn't played since the season opener due to a bone bruise in his knee, so it's relatively unclear when this neck injury became an issue. The wide receiver will remain at the university while pursuing a degree but his football-playing career has unfortunately come to an end. Richards was a potential first-round NFL draft pick after totaling 1,373 receiving yards and six touchdowns his first two seasons coming into the 2018 campaign.

2018 Fantasy Outlook
Injuries played such a huge part of Richards' 2017 that it's hard to glean anything from his sophomore campaign. A hamstring injury hampered him in the early goings and a meniscus injury kept him out for the ACC Championship and the Orange Bowl. In the end, he caught 24 of 55 targets for 439 yards and three scores after a 934-yard 2016. A fully healthy Richards is a problem for opposing defenses, and the supporting cast around him means that teams can't cheat and focus only on Richards. As long as Richards bounces back, a 1,000-yard season is in the cards.
