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

Indianapolis Colts general manager Chris Ballard isn't ruling out the possibility of quarterback Anthony Richardson Sr. (eye) remaining with the team in 2026, according to Stephen Holder of ESPN. "There's definitely a scenario there. He's a good dude, and he's talented," Ballard said on Monday. With Daniel Jones (Achilles) becoming the starter in 2025 and with Richardson suffering a freak season-ending eye injury, the former fourth overall pick's future in Indy has been very cloudy since late last season. The Colts gave Richardson and his representation permission to seek a trade in late February, but no deal is imminent, and it's unclear if one will ever materialize. The Green Bay Packers are among the teams most interested as they search for a replacement for Malik Willis behind starter Jordan Love. Richardson's inability to stay healthy and the emergence of Riley Leonard as a backup option to Jones have made Richardson a prime candidate for a new start elsewhere. The 23-year-old's dynasty value would most likely benefit from a change of scenery and potentially a better shot at earning a starting role again.
