Daniel Jones Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Colts TE Tyler Warren racked up a team-high 9 targets and 7 catches in Sunday's blowout win over the Dolphins. He added 76 yards, second on the team behind WR Michael Pittman. Three of Warren's catches surfaced on the first drive.

The Colts will start QB Daniel Jones in their season opener against the Dolphins, according to both ESPN and NFL Network. Jones and Richardson seemingly played to a draw this summer, which makes it a bit surprising that Indianapolis isn't giving Richardson the Week 1 nod. We ultimately still expect both guys to start multiple games this season.

Update: “He's the starting QB for the season,” HC Shane Steichen said of Jones on Tuesday. “I don’t want to have a short leash on that.” We still don't think Jones will play well enough to keep Richardson off the field all season, but expect Jones to be under center for a while.

Colts QB Anthony Richardson plans to practice on Saturday, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. Richardson dislocated his right pinkie in Thursday night's preseason opener, but it sounds like he won't miss any additional time. The battle for Indianapolis' starting QB job remains undecided. QB Daniel Jones is expected to start next Saturday's preseason game vs. the Packers.

Insider Jordan Schultz reports that X-rays on Colts QB Anthony Richardson's right pinky came back clean. Richardson "will be back on the practice field in the coming days," Schultz adds.

Colts QB Anthony Richardson left Thursday’s preseason game with a finger injury, according to James Boyd of The Athletic.

Update: Richardson dislocated the pinky on his right (throwing) hand, HC Shane Steichen said. "Don't know how long he'll be out," Steichen added. We should learn more about how long Richardson will be sidelined over the next 24 hours. Stay tuned.

According to Stephen Holder of ESPN, QB Anthony Richardson is set to start Week 1 of the preseason, with Daniel Jones set to debut in Week 2.

Colts QB Anthony Richardson has generated more buzz than QB Daniel Jones in training camp so far. But The Athletic's Zak Keefer believes the race is "neck and neck" right now. Richardson has shown improvement on short and intermediate passes, but snap-to-snap consistency has remained an issue.

Colts QB Anthony Richardson is believed to be recovered from the right shoulder issue he dealt with last month, according to ESPN's Stephen Holder. Richardson missed two weeks of June minicamp with an aggravation of the AC joint injury that ended his 2023 season. The rest has seemingly alleviated the issue, though. Richardson has been "throwing the ball with velocity" for weeks, per Holder, although it's still possible that he'll be on a pitch count early in camp.

Colts QB Anthony Richardson said this week that his right shoulder is "all good," and that he'll be ready for the start of training camp.

Colts QB Anthony Richardson is dealing with a right shoulder injury and won't participate in next week's minicamp, HC Shane Steichen said Thursday. Steichen called it an aggravation of the AC joint injury that ended Richardson's 2023 season. He had surgery then but is not expected to need surgery this time, according to Steichen.

Colts HC Shane Steichen said that both QBs Anthony Richardon and Daniel Jones will get about 170 reps a piece in OTAs, citing an open competition for the starting QB job. The team has been flipping the QBs back and forth from play to play during OTAs so far. According to various reports, both QBs have impressed early on.

Colts HC Shane Steichen said Monday that QBs Anthony Richardson and Daniel Jones will split first-team reps this spring. That confirms that this is a truly open competition for the starting job -- rather than Richardson having a head start as the incumbent. The Colts have made it clear since the end of the last season that Richardson would need to earn the 2025 starting job after a disappointing 2024 campaign. The team's OTAs begin on April 21.

The Colts are finalizing a one-year deal with QB Daniel Jones. ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that it's expected to pay Jones $14 million. NFL Network's Tom Pelissero adds that the contract carries a $17.7 million max value

The Vikings have signed QB Daniel Jones to their practice squad, per multiple reports. Jones recently cleared waivers, as expected, and reportedly wanted to sign with a contending team. That’s certainly the case with the 9-2 Vikings. Eventually, Jones should slide into the backup role behind Sam Darnold. But the former Giant remains a shaky bet to start come Week 1 of 2025. The Vikings just invested a Round 1 pick in Michigan QB J.J. McCarthy.
