Who Should I Start? Daniel Jones or Anthony Richardson Sr.

Thursday, August 14, 9:54 PM

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones was picked off twice in 16 pass attempts by the Green Bay Packers' defense during the joint practice between the two teams on Thursday, per James Boyd of The Athletic. Boyd writes that the "Colts' offense was overwhelmed by the Packers' defense" and "the dink-and-dunk offense (Jones) was commanding was far from fruitful." Jones is competing with Anthony Richardson Sr. for the QB1 role in Indianapolis, but both quarterbacks are reportedly struggling in training camp. Jones is starting the Colts' second preseason game against the Packers on Saturday. The 28-year-old has mostly been a non-factor in fantasy throughout his six-year NFL career, which should be expected to continue if he does indeed win the starting job in Indianapolis.

Indianapolis Colts third-year signal-caller Anthony Richardson Sr. (finger) plans to practice on Saturday, Stephen Holder of ESPN reports. On Thursday, the Colts played the Baltimore Ravens in their preseason opener, and Richardson was sacked on a drop-back pass, subsequently leaving the game after dislocating his right pinkie on the hit. Still, following the Colts' scheduled day off Friday, Richardson is poised to practice Saturday, which is excellent news for Richardson as battles for the starting QB job in Indy with Daniel Jones. The 23-year-old has had his ups and downs in the NFL, but Richardson is trying to put the lows behind him and prove to the Colts that he is their guy under center for 2025 and the long haul. For the time being, Richardson remains a high-upside QB2 if he starts and is currently ranked as QB28, according to the NFFC, while his counterpart Jones is ranked as the QB31.
