Colts say Anthony Richardson is their QB1

Oct 07, 2024

There’s no quarterback controversy in Indianapolis.

Joe Flacco has completed 49-of-70 passes for 527 yards and five touchdowns since Anthony Richardson injured his oblique early in a Week Four win over the Steelers, but head coach Shane Steichen made it clear on Monday that the team is going to put Richardson back in the lineup once he’s medically cleared.

“He is our starting quarterback,” Steichen said, via Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan.

Fantasy Impact:

Richardson was a limited participant in practice last week, the story said. This Wednesday will bring word on how much he’s doing at practice as the team moves toward their Week 6 trip to Tennessee the story added.

Raiders WR Davante Adams (hamstring) is not expected to play this week vs. Steelers, per sources.

Related Players: Jakobi Meyers, Tre Tucker, Brock Bowers

Fantasy Impact:

No surprise here, but at least we get the news early in the week. Meyers and Bowers look to benefit the most from Adams' absence (and eventual trade) and should be considered respective WR2 and TE1s.

Texans WR Nico Collins to hit the IR

The Texans have placed WR Nico Collins, the NFL's leading receiver on Injured Reserve. He's out four games.

Related Players: Stefon Diggs, Tank Dell, Xavier Hutchinson, Dalton Schultz

Fantasy Impact:

Hutchinson came in and basically played Collins' role for the rest of Week 5, but he is obviously not going to demand the same type of target share. He can be added in deeper leagues, but we expect Diggs, Dell, and Schultz to take a majority of the extra usage.
