Anthony Richardson Sr.

After two disappointing and injury-marred seasons, former fourth overall draft pick Anthony Richardson will have to earn the Colts' starting QB job in a training camp battle with ex-Giant Daniel Jones. Richardson played only four games as a rookie in 2023, with an October shoulder injury putting him on the shelf for the rest of the season. But Richardson offered glimpses of immense fantasy potential, with 136 rushing yards and four TD runs in those four games, along with three TD passes. But Richardson was a disaster as a passer last season, completing only 47.7% of his passes, with eight touchdowns and 12 interceptions. The 6-4, 244-pound Richardson is a remarkable physical specimen who still offers considerable fantasy upside because of his rushing ability, but his struggles as a passer threaten to derail his career.

Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported that Anthony Richardson is “expected to be fine” by the beginning of training camp in July.

Fantasy Impact

Richardson met with a doctor who revealed the news to him. He will not require surgery as rest is expected to be what is needed to get him fully healthy. He will enter training camp in a battle for the Week 1 starting role with Daniel Jones.
