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.

 Anthony Richardson considered day-to-day
Oblique and abdominal strains

|  | Colts QB Anthony Richardson is considered day to day with oblique and abdominal strains, and he has a shot to play this week against the #Jaguars, sources said after today’s tests.

FFToday's Take: The good news is that the toughest part of Richardson's schedule should be finished. The bad news is he will begin the second quarter of it at less than 100 percent. Richardson has been a disappointment overall fantasy, but October should tell us more about him than September did. There is a distinct possibility if Richardson plays in Week 5, he will do so without Jonathan Taylor (ankle). It might be just what he needs for him to show himself and HC Shane Steichen that he can put the team on his shoulders. If Richardson cannot play in Week 5, however, Joe Flacco is worth a spot start in deeper leagues.
