2025 Season Outlooks

Anthony Richardson will compete with Daniel Jones for the Colts' starting job this season, which is a quarterback battle to watch in training camp. If Richardson is named the starter then he's worth drafting with a late-round pick in all leagues. There's still plenty of potential for Richardson to be a standout Fantasy quarterback, but he has to prove it first -- in Fantasy and reality. And it doesn't help that he had a shoulder injury in June that will limit his work in minicamp. In 2024, Richardson played in 10 healthy games, and he scored at least 22.2 Fantasy points in four of them. In those 10 games, he was on pace for 2,963 passing yards, 14 touchdowns, 20 interceptions, 808 rushing yards, and 10 touchdowns. He's flawed as a passer, especially with a career completion percentage of 50.6. But his rushing ability is what helps his Fantasy stock if he can be a starter for a full season. And this offseason he spent time with the same private quarterback coach who helped Josh Allen, so hopefully that will pay dividends. The Colts also added a new weapon in tight end Tyler Warren with a first-round pick in the NFL Draft, and Richardson has a solid receiving corps with Warren, Michael Pittman, Josh Downs, and Alec Pierce. We'll see if Richardson can beat out Jones for the starting job, and then it could be a breakout season for Richardson if he remains the starter all year.

Richardson enters his third NFL season as one of the trickiest wild cards in fantasy. On one hand, the 2023 No. 4 overall pick has a ton of upside; he ranked no lower than sixth among QBs in carries, rush yards and rush TDs last season despite playing only 10 full games, while also pacing the position in average depth of throw and yards per completion. That led to four games with 20-plus fantasy points. On the other hand, Richardson's poor passing may land him on the bench. He had fewer than 15 fantasy points in his other six outings, threw 12 INTs on the season (fourth most) and his 48% completion percentage ranked last. In total, he averaged 15.8 fantasy PPG in the 10 games, which would've ranked 15th over the full season. Richardson is no longer a lock to start with Daniel Jones in the mix, but his elite rushing ability and aggressive passing style will put him on the weekly QB1 radar when he's in the lineup.
