Who Should I Start? Sam Darnold or Anthony Richardson Sr.

Wednesday, July 23, 2:22 PM

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold has taken command of the locker room from the start of camp, emerging as the team's clear-cut starter for the 2025 season. With a revamped offense featuring veteran wideout Cooper Kupp and deep threat Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Darnold is in position to thrive. Seattle is hoping that Darnold can replicate his success from last season with Minnesota, where he threw for 4,319 yards, 35 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions over 17 games. The former first-round pick has the tools to elevate a promising group of weapons, making him an intriguing late-round sleeper in fantasy football formats.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson Sr. has entered 2025 with a renewed mindset and a focus on details. Part of that approach has included cutting sweets from his diet, particularly Skittles. While cutting back on sugary treats alone isn't going to make or break his season, it's part of an offseason overhaul that he hopes can pay dividends. "I need to be more of a pro when it comes to my eating," he told reporters this week. A noticeably trimmed-down Richardson shared that he's lost 10 pounds on his new diet, and by all accounts, he has strung together some of the strongest practices of his young career. The former No. 4 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft entered training camp in a quarterback competition with veteran addition Daniel Jones. Still, if he can continue to show signs of improvement and finally capitalize on his raw talents, it will be difficult for anyone to take the job from him.
