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.

Open QB competition in Indianapolis?
Colts sign Daniel Jones to one-year deal
By: Mike Krueger | Tue Mar 11, 12:11 pm
|  | The #Colts are now preparing for an open quarterback competition between Daniel Jones and Anthony Richardson, who is healthy and has no plans to seek a trade, his agent Deiric Jackson told me.
Said Jackson: “AR will be ready to roll.” (Tom Pelissero on X)
FFToday's Take: The Colts signed Jones to a one-year deal today worth $14 million. Richardson was benched last season for Joe Flacco and has struggled with his mechanics and accuracy as a passer. Richardson has the legs to be a quality QB1 in fantasy but his value is on shaky ground headed into the 2025 season.
