2024 Season Outlooks

Richardson's combination of arm strength, arm talent, and rushing upside earned him a top-10 ranking across the board from our experts heading into his first NFL season. Richardson was a Fantasy superstar immediately, averaging 25.9 points per game in his two full starts. This would put him on pace to be the QB1 overall over a full season. Of course, Richardson didn't play a full season and instead suffered a season-ending shoulder injury in Week 5. In 2024, Richardson will once again be one of the highest-upside QBs in Fantasy Football, but he will carry a boom-or-bust profile due to his injury profile. The Colts added Adonai Mitchell at WR in the draft and Richardson will get the benefit of playing with Jonathan Taylor in 2024. If he stays healthy, Richardson will be a league-winning player who you can grab in the sixth round of your one-QB leagues.

Football fans are rightfully excited for this dual-threat signal-caller's second season. From Cam Newton to Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson and Jalen Hurts, there is a growing legacy of young quarterbacks thriving as fantasy forces thanks to what some deem the cheat code: Rushing for immense value from behind center. Based on his first three games in the NFL, Richardson was on pace for more than 700 rushing yards with double-digit touchdown production on the ground. After missing 13 games due to a shoulder injury, the natural question is whether Richardson's play style is sustainable on this hard-hitting stage. What isn't in doubt is whether the versatile talent is capable of delivering fun fantasy lines, as last year's small sample suggests is entirely possible. The risks are real, yet the rewards of drafting Richardson as a QB1 in the early-to-middle rounds could be league-altering.
