Anthony Richardson, Daniel Jones Splitting Reps at OTAs

Wednesday, May 28, 11:08 PM

Indianapolis Colts quarterbacks Anthony Richardson (back) and Daniel Jones are splitting repetitions during organized team activities this week, according to The Athletic's James Boyd. Richardson missed the last two games of the 2024 season due to a back injury, but he's fully recovered now and is in a full-on competition for the starting gig under center in 2025 with Jones. The splitting of reps between Richardson and Jones is expected to continue into training camp this summer. The 23-year-old Richardson, the former fourth overall pick in 2023 out of Florida, was a massive disappointment in his sophomore season. He made only 11 starts due to injury while also being benched in favor of Joe Flacco. There's no question that Richardson has elite rushing upside, but he'll need to improve as a passer to beat Jones out and serve as a QB2 with upside in fantasy this year.

Tyler Shough Turns in "Encouraging" Practice on Thursday

Thursday, May 29, 2:57 PM

New Orleans Saints quarterback Tyler Shough, who is firmly in the battle for the QB1 job, had an "encouraging performance" during Thursday's OTA practice. "Shough showed it today," Saints reporter Nick Underhill wrote. "Hit two bombs for TDs, real nice layered throw going to the sideline and had an incomplete pass on the move that barely missed but athleticism flashed." The 25-year-old is likely the favorite to be the Week 1 starter in Kellen Moore's new offense after the sudden retirement of Derek Carr (shoulder), so the positive report is promising. Shough was a second-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft after tossing for 7,820 yards, 59 touchdowns, and 23 interceptions in 42 collegiate games with Oregon, Texas Tech, and Louisville. He also scored 11 career rushing touchdowns. Shough is no stranger to learning a new system on the fly, so he could exceed relatively low expectations in Year 1.
