Anthony Richardson Fantasy Overview

Colts QB Anthony Richardson has been given permission to seek a trade, according to Stephen Holder of ESPN. Richardson threw only two passes in 2025 as the backup to Daniel Jones. He suffered an orbital fracture during pregame warmups before the Colts' Week 6 game and underwent surgery in October.

Colts QB Anthony Richardson has been medically cleared after fracturing his orbital bone on October 12, according to CBS Sports' Matt Zenitz. "The hope is to have him back practicing in the near future," Zenitz adds. Richardson has been out for over two months and isn't exactly what we'd call a polished player. So it might be asking too much to have him play again this season. His odds of getting back out there would probably improve if the Colts are eliminated from playoff contention. (They currently have just an 8% chance to make it, according to The Athletic's Playoff Predictor.) You could stash Richardson in deep 2-QB and superflex leagues, but don't drop anyone of value for him.

Colts QB Daniel Jones is expected to miss six to eight months following Achilles surgery, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. The 28-year-old underwent surgery on Tuesday.

Colts QB Anthony Richardson attended practice Wednesday for the first time in a while. His IR status keeps him off the injury report for the week, but video shows him wearing a red, non-contact jersey. That indicates some level of participation. Richardson has been out since suffering an orbital-bone fracture (eye socket) before the Week 6 win over the Cardinals.
