Check out the latest news and notes around the NFL.
Anthony Richardson listed as co-starter on initial depth chart
Anthony Richardson has been listed as a co-starter with Gardner Minshew on the Colts initial depth chart.
Fantasy Impact
It still feels likely that Richardson will be the starting quarterback for the Colts in Week 1, but the initial depth charts usually don’t give the immediate nod to rookies. It will be a situation to monitor throughout the remainder of training camp and preseason play, but Richardson should likely be considered the favorite to start in Week 1 for the Colts.

Skyy Moore seeing every rep with first-team in 2-WR sets
Skyy Moore is reportedly seeing every rep with the first-team Chiefs offense in camp when Kansas City has two wide receivers on the field.
Fantasy Impact
There has been some form of hype for just about every Chiefs wide receiver early in camp, so this is notable to see Moore likely being on the field at all times this season. Newell added that Rashee Rice and Justyn Ross have occasionally mixed in with first-team but overwhelmingly been with the second-team. It is still early and things can change, but Moore likely should be the first Chiefs wide receiver off the board in fantasy drafts this year.

Sam Howell to start Friday against Browns
Sam Howell will start at quarterback for the Washington Commanders against the Cleveland Browns in the team’s preseason opener Friday.
Fantasy Impact
Howell will get the first opportunity to showcase his abilities and make the case to be the team’s starting quarterback, with the second-year signal caller battling veteran Jacoby Brissett throughout training camp. How Howell fares in the first preseason contest could go a long way towards establishing himself as the clear-cut choice for head coach Ron Rivera to be behind center ahead of the regular season.

Adam Trautman could be Broncos’ starter in 2023
Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton said that TE Adam Trautman, who was listed as the TE1 on the team’s first unofficial depth chart, earned the edge for his run blocking, though multiple TEs will play in the system.
Fantasy Impact
Trautman was drafted by Payton and the New Orleans Saints in 2020, playing three seasons and catching 60 passes for 641 yards and four scores. He signed with the Broncos in the offseason and was listed ahead of second-year TE Greg Dulcich on the unofficial preliminary depth chart. Payton said that Dulcich and Trautman could be more of a TE1A and TE1B, though, so they may see plenty of action together. Dulcich, who is a more skilled pass-catcher, may play more of a role as a receiving TE, totaling 411 yards in 10 games as a rookie, while Trautman plays a more all-around role. Denver’s starters are expected to play in the preseason, so it will be a good opportunity to see how they utilize their TEs.
