Bottom Line

Richardson proved that he has the ultimate upside last year in a very limited sample size of only four games. He finished as a top-five QB in half of those games, and if he can replicate that success, QB1 overall is possible.

But, the limited sample does make Richardson a risk. He did not play a game with Jonathan Taylor last year and that could particularly impact Richardson’s rushing production. His poor passing metrics also raise red flags.

Ultimately, Richardon is a swing for the fences pick who has an extremely wide range of outcomes.

What We Learned Last Year

  • Richardson finished as the QB38 in total fantasy points (72.7) and QB20 in points per game (14.5).
  • He had two top-five finishes out of his four games played.
  • Richardson suffered a concussion in Week 2, causing him to miss one game. He missed the final 12 games of the season due to an A/C joint sprain in his shoulder. He underwent surgery in October.
  • In his four games played, Richardson compiled:
    • 577 passing yards
    • 3 passing TDs
    • 136 rushing yards
    • 4 rushing TDs
  • Out of the 49 QBs with 90+ dropbacks, he led the league in fantasy points per dropback (0.73).
  • Out of those same QBs, Richardson ranked:
    • 38th in Pro Football Focus passing grade (56.5)
    • 48th in PFF rushing grade (45.3)
    • 28th in average target depth (8.0)
    • 40th in adjusted completion percentage (71.1%)
  • Richardson played behind a very competent O-line that ranked No. 6 in Pro Football Focus' pass-blocking grades.

What to Expect in 2024

  • Richardson enters his second season with the Colts under HC and play-caller Shane Steichen and OC Jim Bob Cooter.
  • The Colts continued investing in the offense around Richardson by drafting:
    • WR Adonai Mitchell (second round)
    • iOL Matt Goncalves (third Round)
    • iOL Tanor Bortolini (fourth Round)
  • The Colts are expected to perform similarly to last season. They are tied for the second-highest win total in the AFC South at 8.5 wins on most sportsbooks.
  • They also are 20th in terms of highest Super Bowl odds at +6000 on most sportsbooks, third highest in the division.
  • Richardson enters his second season at 22 years old. According to our aging curve research, the average QB with Richardson’s career and profile will produce at 90% of his peak value at age-22.

Anthony Richardson a "Full Go" For Training Camp

Colts QB Anthony Richardson (shoulder) will not have any restrictions to start training camp, according to Colts GM Chris Ballard.

View Full Story »

Colts QB Anthony Richardson will be a "full go" for training camp, GM Chris Ballard said. Richardson is working back from surgery on his throwing shoulder and experienced some soreness earlier this month. He sat out the final day of minicamp.

Colts QB Anthony Richardson is "progressing really well" from October shoulder surgery, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. "I'm told Richardson feels he's full go at this point," Fowler adds. "He's been throwing for a while now. He's gradually grown to where he can throw full time with minimal restrictions. The Colts could be deliberate. They could hold him out for OTAs, 11-man work, minicamp, but the feeling is he wants to get started." The Colts would be wise to play it safe with Richardson's return, but it continues to sound like he'll be back to 100% well ahead of Week 1. With a sixth-round best ball ADP, Richardson is one of the biggest risk/reward picks at his position.

Colts QB Anthony Richardson (shoulder) "should be" ready for the start of OTAs next month, HC Shane Steichen said. Richardson underwent surgery on October 24 to repair a severe AC joint injury and was cleared to resume throwing in February. “I think what happened to him is gonna make him stronger,” Steichen said. “I know he’s super fired up and ready to roll through the spring practice and training camp and this season. ... I couldn’t be more excited to get him back going again. His limited sample size that he had in those first five weeks was impressive. He hit some plays I’ve never seen guys make.” Steichen added that keeping Richardson healthy is a priority but that he won't limit him as a runner. Richardson said earlier this offseason that he won't change his playing style, despite last year's injuries. There remains top-5 fantasy upside here.

Dynasty Write-up
At 6’4, 244 pounds, Richardson looks like he was built in a lab. We simply haven’t seen another QB with his size-adjusted athletic profile. There’s work to be done as a passer, though. And we'll have to keep a close eye on his health following season-ending shoulder surgery in October. Ultimately, we’re buying a high-end ceiling here. Round 2 WR Adonai Mitchell – an athletic marvel – adds to the ceiling.
