Richardson's rushing upside (45.4 YDS/game, 0.55 TD/game) makes him a must-add in superflex.
The source identifies Richardson as a must-add in superflex formats and an interesting stash in 1QB leagues. Going back to 2024 when Richardson was in extended action as Indy's starter, he averaged 45.4 rushing yards per game (3rd behind only Josh Allen and Jayden Daniels) and 0.55 rushing touchdowns per game (3rd behind Josh Allen and Jalen Hurts). The source notes Richardson can offer an extremely fantasy-friendly skill set and score a lot of fantasy points despite uncertainty about his real-life NFL viability.

Freeing Anthony Richardson would probably lead to much less passing for the Colts, further reducing fantasy production opportunities for pass-catchers like Tyler Warren.
Richardson remains backup but could see expanded role if Colts evaluate QB position.
Richardson served as the primary backup to Daniel Jones across the first eight weeks of the 2026 NFL season and saw limited action in Week 8 against Jacksonville, completing 2 of 2 pass attempts for 4 yards on 2 carries. Colts coach Shane Steichen declined to commit to Jones as the starting quarterback when asked about his status following the 42-7 loss, stating 'I'm gonna evaluate everything, every position, going forward,' suggesting Richardson could receive more extensive opportunities as the team sits at 2-6.
Richardson cleared to play after orbital fracture threatened his vision recovery.
Richardson returned to game action in Week 8 after missing the remainder of the 2025 season due to a freak eye injury sustained during pregame warmups before Week 6; he fractured his orbital bone and faced uncertainty about vision recovery, with doctors initially unable to confirm he would regain sight. Now healthy at age 24, he has served as primary backup to Daniel Jones through the first eight weeks of the 2026 season and expressed gratitude for the opportunity to return, stating 'There were definitely times where I would go to the doctor, and they would tell me they don't know if I'm getting my vision back.'

Richardson unlikely to stay with Colts; franchise tag cost prohibitive at 50+ million.
The source assesses that Anthony Richardson will not remain with the Colts next year, as franchising him would cost 50+ million and he has already requested a trade. However, the source suggests giving him playing time to increase his market value before his next injury occurs, indicating a short-term utilization strategy rather than long-term confidence.
Richardson's early play limited Pierce's deep-ball efficiency in his first two seasons.
Richardson's quarterback play in Alec Pierce's first two seasons contributed to Pierce's low yards per target production during that period, suggesting quarterback quality impacts Pierce's deep-ball efficiency metrics.
Richardson sidelined as sunk cost; unlikely to return as free agent next spring.
Richardson, drafted fourth overall in 2023, has taken about only a dozen regular-season snaps since his final start in the 2024 campaign. The Colts have chalked him up to a sunk cost and are merely stashing him in case of emergency. Richardson is a free agent next spring, and it would be a surprise to see him back with the team.
Anthony Richardson Sr. has 0 trade value, minimal asset status.

Richardson's athleticism offers upside alternative to stagnant offense.
The former fourth-overall pick has yet to take a regular-season snap in 2026 but is approaching the end of his rookie contract, creating an argument for giving him another opportunity to prove himself. Richardson's documented struggles with accuracy and decision-making are offset by his athleticism and ability to create explosive plays, which could provide a different dimension to an offense that has become increasingly stagnant. However, coach Shane Steichen has maintained confidence in Daniel Jones and indicated that a quarterback change is not currently under consideration.
Colts lack trust in Richardson; planning QB search despite recent investment.
Quarterback mentioned in context of J.J. McCarthy's poor performance metrics. The source notes that McCarthy's 72.6 passer rating since 2024 ranks 43rd out of 44 qualified QBs, with only Richardson posting a lower mark. Additionally, the source states the Colts have 'apparent lack of trust in Anthony Richardson Sr.' and are 'almost certainly' going QB hunting in the offseason.
