Anthony Richardson Expected To Be 2025 Starter

The Colts are planning on sticking with QB Anthony Richardson as their starter in 2025, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. "Indy brass has been pleased with how he responded from the benching before Week 9 and how his attention to detail and preparation has increased as a result," Rapoport writes. The Colts have won three of five games since that benching, but Richardson's passing hasn't improved. He's completed just 51.2% of his passes at 6.5 yards per attempt with four TDs and five INTs over those five games. He's at an abysmal 47.7% completion rate on the season. Richardson's rushing ability gives him QB1 fantasy upside whenever he's on the field. But it's tough to imagine him lasting as an NFL starter if his passing doesn't improve. Richardson is at least expected to have a healthy 2025 offseason after spending last offseason rehabbing a shoulder injury.
