Anthony Richardson was one of the more polarizing players entering last year's draft season. Proponents of Richardson pointed to his rookie production in 2023 that saw him score seven total TDs against only one interception. Critics pointed to his underdeveloped throwing ability and a playing style that lent itself to injury. Taken in most leagues as a QB1 in 2024, Richardson proceeded to have arguably the most disappointing season of any viable signal-caller in fantasy football. Eleven games played, 14 total TDs, 12 INTS and a 47.7% competition rate.
Prospects for success aren't much higher for Richardson entering 2025 than they were when the 2024 season ended. He reportedly experienced shoulder soreness earlier this summer, with coaches saying they had no timetable for his return. Those concerns seem to be diminished, as Richardson is participating in training camp.
Daniel Jones' presence is a major hindrance to Richardson's fantasy stock as well as a camp battle for the starting QB is happening. It would also seem logical that Richardson has an even shorter leash than he did last season, so any struggles he may experience in 2025 could find him on the bench. For these reasons, I would suggest leaving Richardson for others to draft. He's simply too volatile a player to rely on.

Daniel Jones tears Achilles in Week 14 Riley Leonard the current starter for Indianapolis By: Mike Krueger | Sun Dec 7, 8:18 pm

| | A look at the Colts’ current QB landscape:
Daniel Jones will undergo surgery for his torn Achilles.
Riley Leonard is now the only healthy QB on their 53-man roster, Brett Rypien is on their practice squad, and they could add to their QB room this week.
Anthony Richardson remains on injured reserve due to fractured orbital bone suffered during pregame warmups earlier this season.
Colts' last four games:
-At Seattle
-San Francisco
-Jacksonville
-At Houston (Adam Schefter on X)
FFToday's Take: The Colts suffered a big blow in Week 14, losing their quarterback Daniel Jones to a torn Achilles. This will knock him out the remainder of this season at least a good chunk of 2026. The entire offense will need to be downgraded as we head into the fantasy playoffs.
