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.

What They're Saying

Ian Rapoport of NFL.com: “The Colts will start QB Joe Flacco Sunday, with Anthony Richardson battling back and foot soreness this week. He did not practice all week and has been downgraded to out”

2024 Fantasy Football Impact

Richardson had a chance to play despite not practicing all week, but it appears his soreness was too much.

Flacco gives some passing upside for the offense, though he is prone to interceptions himself.

Other Winners & Losers

WRs Josh Downs and Michael Pittman get an upgrade with Flacco at QB as the Colts pass rate should increase.

They can both be started with more confidence this week.
