Who Should I Start? Matthew Stafford or Anthony Richardson Sr.

Tuesday, August 19, 1:30 PM

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford (back) is practicing again on Tuesday, according to Adam Grosbard of the Los Angeles Daily News. Stafford practiced for the first time at training camp this summer on Monday after recovering from an aggravated disc in his back. The 37-year-old was extremely limited and made only around 20 throws on Monday as the Rams ease him back in. Head coach Sean McVay said Stafford's workload is "a very fluid situation and demands flexibility." He almost certainly won't play in the preseason finale this Saturday against the Cleveland Browns, but the plan is to have him "upright" for the Week 1 regular-season opener on Sept. 7 against the Houston Texans. The Rams have been optimistic all along that Stafford will be ready for Week 1, although it sounds like he may not be 100%, making him an even riskier low-end QB2 selection in superflex fantasy leagues.

Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen was non-committal on Tuesday when asked if he sees a future for quarterback Anthony Richardson Sr. to start again for the team. "That's hard to say. Obviously, Daniel Jones is our starter right now. And if something happens to Daniel at some point, AR gets another opportunity," Steichen said. It comes after the Colts' announcement on Tuesday that Jones has won the QB job over Richardson to begin the 2025 regular season. The 23-year-old former first-rounder has dealt with shoulder and finger injuries during spring and summer workouts, but he's fully healthy now. Richardson still has the higher fantasy ceiling than Jones because of his elite rushing ability, and there's a good chance that he'll make some starts at some point this year if Jones continues to struggle like he did with the New York Giants.
