Anthony Richardson

Health has been an issue for Richardson since the Colts drafted him fourth overall in 2023. He's missed 17 of 34 games, including four last season with hip, oblique, foot and back injuries (he was benched while healthy for two other games). Perhaps an even greater issue is Richardson's accuracy. Last year, it was off the chart -- the bottom of the chart. At 54.9 percent, his on-target rate was last in the league by more than 12 percentage points, and his 47.7 completion percentage was the worst since Tim Tebow's 46.5 in 2011. It doesn't help that Richardson is in love with the deep ball. He threw 20.1 percent of his attempts at least 20 yards downfield -- far and away tops in the league -- and had a league-high 12.2-yard average target depth. Yet, he converted that to a mere 6.8 YPA (25th). His massive rushing production -- 499 yards and six scores in 11 games -- was the one saving grace for his fantasy value, but he nonetheless failed to reach 14 fantasy points in seven games (four with single digits). This year, Richardson lost a summer job battle to free-agent signing Daniel Jones, who was named the Week 1 starter in mid-August. There's still hope Richardson's accuracy improves with better footwork and touch, as he turned 23 in May and has just 348 NFL pass attempts to his name. However, he'll start the season on the bench, and it doesn't seem like he has much of a future with Colts coach Shane Steichen even if the team ends up starting Richardson again at some point this season.
