Who Should I Start? Justin Fields or Anthony Richardson Sr.

New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields is impressing the coaching staff this offseason with his work ethic as he heads into his first season with the team. "He's going out there and he's busting his a-; trying to be the best quarterback he can be for this team. Everybody sees that and I like that," head coach Aaron Glenn said. The biggest knocks on the former first-rounder in 2021 by the Chicago Bears were accuracy issues and his processing at the line of scrimmage. "The biggest takeaway I would say is that this guy is just a workaholic," offensive coordinator Tanner Engstrand said. If Fields can improve his accuracy and decision-making while throwing to college teammate Garrett Wilson, he could become the long-term answer in New York and give fantasy managers clear QB1 upside given his elite rushing abilities. The 26-year-old has a high floor as a QB2 because of his rushing prowess.

ESPN's Stephen Holder reports that Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson Sr. (shoulder) is believed to have recovered from his recent right-shoulder setback as the team gets ready to kick off training camp next week, per a source. Richardson had season-ending surgery to fix an AC joint sprain in his right shoulder in his rookie season in 2023 and was forced to miss the last two weeks of the team's offseason practices this year due to soreness in the same shoulder. The former first-rounder has been working with personal coaches for weeks in Florida throwing the football with velocity, and it appears rest has alleviated the issue. The Colts haven't personally evaluated Richardson, though, and it's possible Richardson will be on a pitch count early in camp to help him avoid fatigue or another setback. It's great news for the 23-year-old, but he still must beat out Daniel Jones for the starting gig.
