Riley Leonard Dynasty Value

Colts QB Riley Leonard is considered "week to week" with a strained ligament in his knee, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. That's a more pessimistic report than we got earlier today and has Leonard sounding very iffy for Sunday's game vs. the Seahawks. Meanwhile, the Colts are having QB Philip Rivers in for a workout on Tuesday. Yeah, that Philip Rivers. The 44-year-old has not played since 2020 but has plenty of familiarity with HC Shane Steichen's offense. Steichen was Rivers' QBs coach with the Chargers from 2016 to 2019 and interim OC in 2019. We'll see where this goes over the next couple of days, but Rivers is no more than a speculative stash in 2-QB and superflex leagues. And even there, we wouldn't go dropping anyone of value for him.

Colts QB Riley Leonard entered the game against the Jaguars in relief of Daniel Jones after he tore his Achilles. HC Shane Steichen revealed that Leonard himself is dealing with a knee injury making his status for Sunday’s game against the Seahawks uncertain. Steichen also commented that QB Anthony Richardson would not be activated this week, so practice squad QB Brett Rypien could become the Colts’ starter.
