Who Should I Start? Daniel Jones or Gardner Minshew

The Indianapolis Colts have rotated quarterbacks Anthony Richardson Sr. and Daniel Jones between the first and second teams so far at training camp practice, but Jones has gotten more work with the first-team offense, according to James Boyd of The Athletic. Richardson and Jones are battling for the starting QB job this summer after Richardson missed some spring work due to an aggravation of his surgically repaired right shoulder. Richardson has since been cleared for camp, but the Colts will be mindful of his workload, which should allow Jones to work a little more with the starters. Jones, the former sixth overall pick by the New York Giants in 2019 out of Duke, threw 24 touchdowns as a rookie but was never able to reach that level again in his six years in the Big Apple. Richardson has the much higher fantasy ceiling, but the Colts could opt to go with stability at the position to open the 2025 season.

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Gardner Minshew II (collarbone) has been throwing during voluntary organized team activities. Minshew broke his collarbone in 2024 while with the Las Vegas Raiders and was limited to 10 games (nine starts), in which he threw for 2,013 yards, nine touchdowns and 10 interceptions in his only year in the desert. Now that he's recovered from the injury, the 29-year-old signal-caller is expected to open the 2025 season as the backup to starter Patrick Mahomes, with Bailey Zappe likely being named the third-stringer. Minshew was a first-time Pro Bowler in 2023 with the Indianapolis Colts, but he'll be off the fantasy radar completely in his seventh season in the NFL as long as Mahomes stays healthy.
