Garrett Richards Keeper/Dynasty

Garrett Richards, Torn Patellar Tendon, total bummer.

Surgery and 6-9 months recovery puts him in the February-May range for his return.

He would have to perform better than a ~160 ADP next season to be worth keeping in my league... is that realistic?  Or should I just be dropping him?

SIGH.

You are getting towards the end of fantasy rotations by the time pick 160 rolls around, not exactly rock-solid studs. And obviously six months is much different than nine months, so there is yet a range of possible outcomes here. What about his value relative to ADP the next season and beyond? He's only 26, so there is still long-term appeal for keeper purposes.
