Anthony Richardson Sr. Could Emerge as a Waiver-Wire Target

Monday, November 9, 6:18 AM

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson Sr., who saw his first action of the 2026 season in Week 8 against Jacksonville, may soon have fantasy relevance as the potential trade of quarterback Daniel Jones looms. Additionally, it's possible that Richardson himself is dealt. Regardless, the 2024 fourth overall pick, who has played 18 career games and started only in 2024, is itching for another opportunity. In 2024, Richardson completed 126 passes for 1,814 yards on 264 attempts (47%), with eight touchdowns and 12 interceptions. Richardson thrives on the ground, with 499 yards and six touchdowns, which makes him valuable in fantasy. Richardson is a name to monitor over the next 24 hours as the trade deadline looms, as he could be a waiver-wire flyer or a dynasty option if he gets another opportunity.

Cole Payton News

Can Cole Payton Develop into a High-Value Dynasty Handcuff?

Friday, June 19, 5:50 AM

Eagles quarterback Cole Payton currently sits fourth on the Philadelphia depth chart behind Jalen Hurts, Tanner McKee, and Andy Dalton, but his long-term fantasy upside is as high as any of the non-first-round quarterbacks selected in the 2026 NFL Draft. Both McKee and Dalton are in the final year of their contracts, and while the former could potentially seek greener pastures elsewhere in 2027, the soon-to-be-39-year-old Dalton may choose to call it a career after his 16th season in the league. Ironically, it is the lefty Payton who is perhaps best equipped to run an offense similar to the one helmed by Hurts, serving as the only other dual-threat quarterback on the roster after rushing for more than 2,000 yards and 30 touchdowns during his collegiate career at North Dakota State. At 6'3" and 223 pounds, and with the luxury of developing behind the scenes, Payton could eventually grow into one of the most fantasy-relevant backup quarterbacks in the league and is a must-stash player in superflex dynasty leagues.
