Anthony Richardson

Anthony Richardson might have the highest ceiling of the three quarterbacks taken in the first round of this year's NFL Draft. The 6-4, 235-pound Richardson has ideal size, a rocket for his arm and eye-opening running ability -- all of which was on full display at this year's NFL Scouting Combine, where Richardson tested like Superman. But Richardson was a starter for only one of his three seasons at the University of Florida, and after completing only 53.8% of his passes in 2022, there are questions about his accuracy. Richardson landed in a good spot with the Colts, where he'll work under new head coach Shane Steichen, who helped develop Jalen Hurts in Philadelphia and Justin Herbert in Los Angeles. Richardson can tide over his fantasy managers with rushing production while his passing skills are developing.

Anthony Richardson is getting first team reps in OTAs, hitting several receivers with pinpoint accuracy.

Fantasy Impact

Richardson is putting himself to take the QB1 role in Indy, according to the report. He was drafted to become the Colts next franchise QB after years of mediocre play by aging veterans, so Richardson showing promise early is no surprise. His dual threat ability is a big boost for fantasy managers and will keep him around late QB1 or mid QB2 territory in drafts.
