Our Thoughts

Anthony Richardson's Preseason Player Analysis

Bottom Line

Richardson proved that he has the ultimate upside last year in a very limited sample size of only four games. He finished as a top-five QB in half of those games, and if he can replicate that success, QB1 overall is possible.

But, the limited sample does make Richardson a risk. He did not play a game with Jonathan Taylor last year and that could particularly impact Richardson’s rushing production. His poor passing metrics also raise red flags.

Ultimately, Richardon is a swing for the fences pick who has an extremely wide range of outcomes.

What We Learned Last Year

  • Richardson finished as the QB38 in total fantasy points (72.7) and QB20 in points per game (14.5).
  • He had two top-five finishes out of his four games played.
  • Richardson suffered a concussion in Week 2, causing him to miss one game. He missed the final 12 games of the season due to an A/C joint sprain in his shoulder. He underwent surgery in October.
  • In his four games played, Richardson compiled:
    • 577 passing yards
    • 3 passing TDs
    • 136 rushing yards
    • 4 rushing TDs
  • Out of the 49 QBs with 90+ dropbacks, he led the league in fantasy points per dropback (0.73).
  • Out of those same QBs, Richardson ranked:
    • 38th in Pro Football Focus passing grade (56.5)
    • 48th in PFF rushing grade (45.3)
    • 28th in average target depth (8.0)
    • 40th in adjusted completion percentage (71.1%)
  • Richardson played behind a very competent O-line that ranked No. 6 in Pro Football Focus' pass-blocking grades.

What to Expect in 2024

  • Richardson enters his second season with the Colts under HC and play-caller Shane Steichen and OC Jim Bob Cooter.
  • The Colts continued investing in the offense around Richardson by drafting:
    • WR Adonai Mitchell (second round)
    • iOL Matt Goncalves (third Round)
    • iOL Tanor Bortolini (fourth Round)
  • The Colts are expected to perform similarly to last season. They are tied for the second-highest win total in the AFC South at 8.5 wins on most sportsbooks.
  • They also are 20th in terms of highest Super Bowl odds at +6000 on most sportsbooks, third highest in the division.
  • Richardson enters his second season at 22 years old. According to our aging curve research, the average QB with Richardson’s career and profile will produce at 90% of his peak value at age-22.

Anthony Richardson Downgraded to Out (Foot and Back)

Anthony Richardson Downgraded to Out (Foot and Back)

Colts QB Anthony Richardson has been downgraded to Out after not practicing all week with back and foot soreness. QB Joe Flacco gets the start which is an upgrade for the Colts pass catchers.

Colts WR Michael Pittman is expected to miss "multiple weeks" with a back injury, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Pittman didn't practice on Wednesday, so this injury presumably occurred in the Week 5 loss to the Jaguars. We'll look for more details on the injury and Pittman's timetable for return, but Schefter adds that, "injured reserve is an option."

Colts QB Anthony Richardson has been downgraded to Doubtful for Sundays game against the Jaguars. QB Joe Flacco will start for the Colts, most likely giving the offense a very different feel and game plan

Colts QB Anthony Richardson is considered "day to day" with oblique and abdominal strains suffered in the Week 4 win over the Steelers, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. "He has a shot to play this week against the Jaguars," Pelissero adds. It's about the best possible news Richardson owners could have hoped for, although if his mobility is at all compromised, it'd take a big bite out of his fantasy value. We'll track Richardson's progress throughout this week. QB Joe Flacco will start if Richardson doesn't. Flacco would be an upgrade for the Colts' pass-catchers.

Colts WR Josh Downs suffered a high-ankle sprain in Wednesday's practice, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. "The outlook right now is that Downs could miss about a month, but the Colts are sorting that out," Fowler adds.
