Who Should I Start? Anthony Richardson Sr. or Rome Odunze

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson (shoulder) said that he will be ready for training camp in late July after missing mandatory minicamp with a right-shoulder injury. "I'm all good ... not really even a bump in the road. I feel like I tripped, I fell. Just got back up and hit the ground running again," Richardson said. The former first-rounder aggravated his AC joint, which he injured as a rookie in 2023 and needed surgery on, during OTAs this spring. Head coach Shane Steichen said he didn't put a timeline on Richardson's recovery earlier this month, but all signs are pointing to him being ready for the start of training camp. It's good news for Richardson, but the lost time this offseason has put Daniel Jones in the lead in the QB competition going into the 2025 season. Richardson has a lot of ground to make up and continues to lose fantasy value after being hyped as a QB1 last fall.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze believes he's going to take a major step forward in his second professional season. Odunze had high expectations after being drafted as the No. 9 overall pick during last year's draft. He finished with 54 receptions, 734 yards, and three touchdowns across 17 games last season. To be fair, nothing seemed to go right for the Bears offense last season. They tried to get Odunze involved with over 100 targets, but the poor play of the offensive line made it difficult for them. Despite that, the Bears believe Odunze is a special player that can take a big leap this next season. Odunze said his goal is to get at least 1,000 receiving yards and double-digit touchdowns. The Bears have added talent on offense, so we'll see if that goal is achievable, but regardless fantasy managers should probably hold Odunze and see what happens.
