Who Should I Start? Anthony Richardson Sr. or Jaxson Dart

Thursday, September 25, 11:14 AM

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson Sr. closed out Week 3's 41-20 victory over the Tennessee Titans, but did not factor into the game's outcome. The former Florida Gator took the field for the Colts' final drive, participating on his first seven plays of the season. He'd finish the contest with negative-one rushing yards on four carries, and nary a single pass attempt, as he was only utilized to hand the ball off, handle a rush, and kneel thrice to run the clock out. The 23-year-old could be a gold mine for fantasy, but he hasn't yet improved enough to be an efficient NFL passer. With teammate Daniel Jones balling out as Indy's starter, Richardson Sr. garners little fantasy appeal outside of a stash in superflex dynasty formats.

New York Giants rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart enters his first career NFL start as an intriguing but risky fantasy option at home against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 4. The Chargers present a difficult test, boasting the league's top-ranked red zone defense (25% TD rate) while allowing the 11th-fewest fantasy points (14.21 FPPG) to opposing quarterbacks through the first three weeks. However, Los Angeles has been susceptible through the air, surrendering the second-most passing yards per game (270), which could create opportunities for the rookie after a sharp preseason where he posted a 113.1 passer rating without an interception. Ultimately, Dart's fantasy value is significantly buoyed by his aggressive rushing style, demonstrated by his 52 yards and a touchdown in the preseason, establishing a solid floor that makes him a viable QB2 this week.
