Anthony Richardson is the latest rookie quarterback to be taken high in the draft, landing with the Indianapolis Colts. His potential is undeniable, with a strong arm and excellent mobility that make him a dual threat on the field. His performance at Florida showed his ability to produce both through the air and on the ground, which will be a valuable asset in fantasy football.
Under the guidance of new head coach Shane Steichen, who previously served as the offensive coordinator for the Philadelphia Eagles, Richardson should be able to adapt quickly to the Colts’ spread offense which should be an easy transition from the offenses he ran at Florida. The team has solid stacking options with Jonathan Taylor, Michael Pittman, Alec Pierce, Josh Downs, and Jelani Woods, making him an attractive pick in best ball drafts.
However, Richardson is a high-risk pick, as he is still a rookie and his performance can be unpredictable. His current ADP of 85.1 is high for a rookie quarterback, but he has the potential to provide high returns if he provides a high rushing floor and produces at a league-average level as a passer.
