Anthony Richardson QB IND

Anthony Richardson Starting Week 11 Against Jets

Anthony Richardson Starting Week 11 Against Jets

Colts QB Anthony Richardson has been announced as the starter by HC Shane Steichen. After spending two weeks as the back-up to QB Joe Flacco, Richardson is back in the starting role. The Colts are currently 4-6 and in desperation mode to get back into the playoff hunt in the AFC

Colts QB Anthony Richardson has been benched for Joe Flacco ahead of the Week 9 match-up against the Vikings. Richardson completed only 10-of-32 passes in last week's loss to the Houston Texans throwing one TD and one INT. He was also sacked five times in the game.

Colts QB Anthony Richardson (oblique) will start Sunday's game against the Dolphins "unless there's a setback," HC Shane Steichen said Monday. Richardson was surprisingly inactive for the Week 6 win over the Titans, despite practicing all week. Perhaps QB Joe Flacco's middling performance in that one was enough to push Richardson back into the starting lineup. He'll return to a plus matchup against a Dolphins defense sitting 24th in DVOA. But Richardson will be a risky QB1 play based on what we've seen from him so far this season. His return is also bad news for WRs Josh Downs and Michael Pittman.

Colts WR Josh Downs caught 7 of 9 targets for 66 yards and a TD. With QB Joe Flacco getting the start, Downs put up another solid fantasy performance.

Colts QB Joe Flacco will start today's game vs. the Titans, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports. QB Anthony Richardson (oblique) will serve as the emergency third QB. Flacco played well in the Week 5 loss to the Jaguars, throwing for 359 yards and three scores. Today's matchup is tougher, so Flacco is not a recommended QB1 play. But he's good news for WRs Josh Downs and Michael Pittman.
