The Indianapolis Colts will face the Buffalo Bills in Week 10. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, especially regarding QB Anthony Richardson.
Anthony Richardson’s Rest-of-Season Fantasy Outlook
Joe Flacco wasn’t good last Sunday night, and that, naturally, led to speculation about this 4-5 team going back to the random number generator that is Anthony Richardson. Yet, that doesn’t seem to be the case. Shane Steichen wasted no time in squashing that story and announcing the veteran as his Week 10 starter.
Can we drop Richardson?
I think so. It’s possible that the Colts reverse course should they, as expected, lose each of their next three games (Bills, Jets, and Lions), but does Indy losing give you any more confidence that Richardson will develop consistency with your fantasy season on the line?
Are you going to feel comfortable in starting him should he get the nod?
My guess is that if you’re that thirsty for upside at the position, you’re fantasy team likely isn’t playing meaningful games in December. If I’m wrong about that and you’re hanging on for dear life, you probably can’t withstand a bye for your QB1 in Week 14.
As much as it hurts, this is a tough time of year where every roster spot has the potential to impact your starting lineup, and I don’t think you’re getting that from Richardson in standard leagues.
