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.

Colts allow Anthony Richardson to seek a trade
QB has been cleared to play after eye injury in 2025

|  | The Colts have given quarterback Anthony Richardson permission to seek a trade, agent Deiric Jackson told ESPN on Thursday.
Richardson has battled numerous injuries and was beaten out by veteran Daniel Jones in a preseason quarterback battle last season. Now, with Jones slated to be re-signed and to continue as the starter, Richardson faces an uncertain path forward. (ESPN)
FFToday's Take: Richardson has spent three years in the league but has never gained traction in large part due to his questionable skills as a passer and injuries. He's played in just 17 games. With the league starved for quarterback options, the Colts will likely get multiple offers for a quarterback that still has one year left on his rookie deal.
