Who Should I Start? Anthony Richardson Sr. or J.J. McCarthy

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson Sr. (eye) underwent surgery on Monday to repair his orbital fracture, according to NFL.com's Ian Rapoport. He has been sidelined since Week 6 following a freak accident with a piece of workout equipment. The Colts are leaving the door open for Richardson to return later this season, but his fantasy stock is at an all-time low. Even if he does play again this year, Richardson would merely operate as the backup quarterback behind Daniel Jones, who has revived his career during his first year in Indianapolis.

Minnesota Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy (right hand) practiced in full on Thursday after being listed as a limited participant on Wednesday due to a hand injury. The 22-year-old appears to be tracking towards being fine for his team's crucial Week 11 matchup against the Chicago Bears. McCarthy had a rough game in Week 10, completing less than 50% of his pass attempts and throwing two interceptions in a loss to the Baltimore Ravens. On the plus side, he rushed for 48 yards and has now racked up 100 rushing yards and two touchdowns across four games this season. McCarthy's legs could be an even greater emphasis in Week 11 if he's battling an injury to his throwing hand. He profiles as a low-end fantasy QB2 in Week 11 against Chicago.
