IND QB Anthony Richardson - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 at New York Jets

After being benched and watching Joe Flacco the last two weeks, Anthony Richardson is back as the starting quarterback for the Colts. We know he has struggled in the passing game, but also knew he would be a project from the day he was drafted. Head coach Shane Steichen says Richardson has made strides over the last few weeks to earn back the starting role -- it also helped that Flacco struggled heavily the last two weeks. Richardson faces the Jets this week. New York has been very up and down on defense, which has been very surprising to see. Expect the Colts to focus on the ground game with Jonathan Taylor. Richardson is a deeper option this week.

IND QB Anthony Richardson - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 at Houston Texans

Anthony Richardson may have been coming off an oblique injury but it was another down passing performance for the former No. 4 overall pick. Richardson went 10-of-24 for 129 yards and had a fumble last week against the Dolphins. On the flip side, he rushed 14 times for 56 yards. The good news is he faces the Texans this week. In Week 1 against Houston, Richardson has his best outing of the season with 212 yards and two touchdowns. Even at that, Richardson was only 9-of-19 passing. Richardson remains a QB2 until he shows his passing can improve.

IND QB Anthony Richardson - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 vs. Miami Dolphins

Anthony Richardson was a bit of a surprise inactive last week against the Titans. He should be back this week against the Dolphins, who do provide a tough matchup this week for Richardson and the Colts. Miami is allowing the third-fewest passing yards per game. Richardson still provides upside in the running game. He's a borderline QB1 this week thanks to that but his passing game still needs to improve and he's missed the last two games.

IND QB Anthony Richardson - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 at Tennessee Titans

After missing Week 5 with an oblique injury, Anthony Richardson looks like he'll be back for Week 6 against the Titans. The Colts struggled a bit on offense during the three full games Richardson has played so far. On top of that, the Titans are currently the best defense in terms of passing yards allowed per game (124) and they are one of only six teams allowing a completion percentage under 50%. Richardson does add rushing value but the passing game has plenty of room for improvement. Richardson is a QB2 this week.

IND QB Anthony Richardson - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 vs. Pittsburgh Steelers

It hasn't been the best of starts through the air for Anthony Richardson. His passing yards have gone down in each of the first three weeks, dipping to just 167 against the Bears in Week 3. He also threw a pair of interceptions and is already up to six on the year versus just three touchdowns. It doesn't get much easier this week against the Steelers, who are allowing the 5th-fewest passing yards per game (157.7). Richardson does still have rushing value -- he has rushed for at least 20 yards in all three games -- which does help bump his overall value up. But for now, we have Richardson as a high-end QB2 with upside.

IND QB Anthony Richardson - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 vs. Chicago Bears

The rushing value helps from a fantasy perspective, but the early onset for Anthony Richardson has been a struggle this season. He has three touchdown passes but already four interceptions and he's completing less than half of his passes -- he was 50% passing in Week 2 against the Packers. Of course, last week was only his sixth game and second since returning from a shoulder injury that cut his rookie season short. The Bears have forced the most interceptions in the league since the start of the last season with 22. The good news for Richardson is that WR Josh Downs may be coming back this week from an ankle injury. The offense should start clicking more plus Richardson can still run the ball. He remains a low-end QB1.

IND QB Anthony Richardson - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 at Green Bay Packers

Anthony Richardson had one of the biggest "wow" moments of Week 1 when he chucked a 60-yard touchdown bomb to Alec Pierce. He couldn't even step into the throw and still got the ball deep. In fact, both of his touchdowns were at least 50 yards. Richardson has a chance to be special. He threw two touchdown passes and rushed for another in a losing effort. We do have to note he was just 9/19 in Week 1, as most of his damage came on those two throws. This week, he gets the Packers who showed a strong defense at times last week against the Eagles. Thanks to his added rushing ability, Richardson remains a top-10 fantasy option this week.
