Anthony Richardson's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen said on Monday that barring a setback, quarterback Anthony Richardson (oblique) will play in Week 7 on Sunday against the Miami Dolphins at Lucas Oil Stadium. It was looking like Richardson was trending towards a return to play in the Week 6 win over the division-rival Tennessee Titans after returning to full practice last week, but the Colts decided to play it safe and hold him out a second week in a row. Even though the veteran Joe Flacco has looked better than Richardson in his two starts, the Colts will turn back to the 22-year-old second-year signal-caller when he gets the green light. Richardson provides elite rushing potential from the QB position, but he's proven injury-prone early in his NFL career and has been pretty bad as a passer in his first eight NFL starts, dating back to last year. If he returns this Sunday, fantasy managers should consider him a low-end QB1/high-end QB2 against Miami.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson (oblique) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Tennessee Titans. He had been listed as questionable and was actually expected to play this week, but at the last minute, the Colts have made him inactive and will start Joe Flacco instead. It's worth noting that Richardson will be the Colts' emergency third quarterback on Sunday, so he could still enter the game if both Flacco and Sam Ehlinger become too injured to play. Nevertheless, the second-year quarterback should be moved to the bench in all fantasy leagues.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson (oblique) continues to trend toward returning for Sunday's meeting with the Tennessee Titans. He's currently listed as questionable. However, according to NFL Media's Ian Rapoport, the signal-caller should play if he has a "solid pre-game workout." Despite entering the 2024-25 campaign with plenty of hype, Richardson hasn't delivered, throwing for 654 yards, three touchdowns, and six picks while completing just 50.6% of his throws. As a result, he's a risky fantasy option no matter the opponent, although his outlook will improve slightly if Michael Pittman Jr. (back) and Josh Downs (toe) suit up in Week 6. Fortunately, both players are expected to get on the field.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson (oblique) is expected to play in Week 6 against the Tennessee Titans barring a late-week surprise, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN. Richardson suffered an oblique injury in Week 4 against the Pittsburgh Steelers and was sidelined last weekend. This week, Richardson was able to log a limited practice session on Wednesday but was able to upgrade to full participation on Thursday and Friday, which suggests he should be in line to return to action. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status over the weekend in case he faces a setback. Richardson has struggled to remain consistent throughout his young career and remains a high-risk, high-upside QB1 against the Titans.

Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen said that quarterback Anthony Richardson (oblique) will be questionable to play on Sunday against the division-rival Tennessee Titans in Week 6. Richardson suffered an oblique injury in the Week 4 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers and was questionable last week before sitting out in the Week 5 loss to the division-rival Jacksonville Jaguars. He's questionable again this weekend, but the fact that Richardson returned to a full practice on Thursday bodes well for his chances of returning. Steichen said earlier this week that the struggling Richardson will be the team's starting QB when healthy. If the 22-year-old is active, he'll be a shaky QB1/2 given his struggles so far in his second season and the fact that the Colts are without running back Jonathan Taylor (ankle) and could be without receivers Michael Pittman Jr. (back) and Josh Downs (toe).
