2024 Outlook
Depth Chart
Anthony Richardson proves to be one of the most intriguing and polarizing options at quarterback in 2024. He played just two full games last season, scoring 21.9 and 29.6 points in these contents. He also appeared in two additional games but played less than 40 percent of snaps. In one of these games, he managed to score 17.7 points on just 18 offensive snaps. Truly absurd.

Richardson now comes off the board as the QB5. His ADP is almost exactly in line with fellow sophomore QB C.J. Stroud, so Richardson can often be scooped up as the QB6.

We know what we're getting with Richardson when he's on the field. He's is far from a high-quality passer, finishing his rookie season with a 59.5 completion percentage. With Richardson, inefficient passing truly doesn't matter from a fantasy perspective. In his two full starts, he had 40+ rushing yards and found the endzone in both games.

We know that having rushing ability at QB provides a massive edge. Richardson has the ability and willingness to tack on 50+ rushing yards in any given week. He also has the frame to be used as a battering ram at the goal-line. With this skill set, a season with 600-plus rushing yards and 10+ TDs on the ground is very realistic.

Richardson is one of a handful of QBs who can truly finish as the QB1. The only real question is, can he stay healthy? I am willing to take this bet every time and love grabbing Richardson in drafts.

News From The Past 90 Days
Anthony Richardson lays out offseason plans
QB expects to work with same expert that helped Josh Allen
By: Doug Orth | Wed Jan 22, 11:40 pm

Indianapolis Colts
When Anthony Richardson returns to his offseason training in Florida, he'll be working on very specific areas of improvement with his team of coaches and trainers. Among them: refining his throws on short and intermediate routes and throwing with more touch. He'll be focusing on overall technique as well, such as his sometimes-sloppy footwork. He also has plans to work with biometric expert Chris Hess, who counts Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen among his clients whose throwing motions he has helped refine. During a recent NFL Films segment, Allen called Hess "the most influential person in my mechanical career." Allen credits Hess with helping him dramatically increase his completion rate from 52.8% as a rookie to 69.2% by his third season. (ESPN.com - Stephen Holder)

FFToday's Take: Allen noted that Hess helped him realize that his hip was too often out in front of his arm when throwing, which largely contributed to how often he was inaccurate in his early years with the Bills. It should come as no surprise if Hess reaches a similar conclusion about Richardson, who is a massively talented player with relatively little football experience and poor fundamentals. The good thing about Richardson in fantasy this upcoming season is that his cost will be low enough to draft as a QB2, which should be enough to make him a huge bargain if Hess can work his magic on him.


Injury Joe Flacco will start for Indianapolis in Week 18
Anthony Richardson ruled Out with back injury

Indianapolis Colts
Colts ruled out QB Anthony Richardson for Sunday’s regular-season finale vs. the Jaguars due to his back injury. One final start this season for Colts QB Joe Flacco. (Adam Schefter on X)

FFToday's Take: Flacco will once again give some fantasy life to wide receivers Josh Downs and Michael Pittman Jr. Last week, Pittman finished with a 9-109-1 line on 10 targets against the Giants. The Jaguars have given up the 4th most fantasy points to QBs, and the 7th most fantasy points to wide receivers in half-PPR leagues.


Injury Anthony Richardson misses all week, Questionable
Back and Foot injuries
By: Mike Krueger | Fri Dec 27, 1:06 pm

Indianapolis Colts
Colts HC Shane Steichen: QB Anthony Richardson (back/foot) questionable vs. Giants. 'We'll see how next 48 hours go.' Did not practice this week. (Mike Chappell on X)

FFToday's Take: Sounds like Richardson is truly questionable to play this week against the Giants. If he sits, Joe Flacco would get the start which would be a boost for the fantasy values of Josh Downs and Michael Pittman Jr. We should get more info on Richardson's status over the weekend.


QB switch: Colts going back to Anthony Richardson
Flacco got two starts
By: Mike Krueger | Wed Nov 13, 11:33 am

Indianapolis Colts
Shane Steichen says Anthony Richardson has regained the starting QB job. He'll play Sunday against the Jets and be the starter moving forward. #Colts (George Bremer on X)

FFToday's Take: Joe Flacco got the call in Week 9 taking over Richardson who has largely been ineffective this season. The Colts lost both games Flacoo started and now it's time to turn back to Richardson in hopes he can continue his development into a competent quarterback. In the short term, this move hurts the fantasy value of Josh Downs as Richardson has yet to display the passing skills to deliver consistent fantasy value to his wide receivers.
