Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson has faced a challenging start to his NFL career since being drafted fourth overall in 2023. His inconsistent performances, injuries, and limited playing time have raised questions about his future with the team. Despite high expectations, Richardson struggled with accuracy and turnovers, completing only 47.7% of his passes in 2024 and throwing 12 interceptions. He is also a dual-threat, rushing for 499 yards and six touchdowns. In the 2025 season, Richardson was serving as a backup to Daniel Jones, who was acquired in the offseason after being released midseason from the New York Giants. Jones has performed reasonably well, despite recent struggles, and has taken over as the Colts’ starting quarterback after Richardson suffered an orbital fracture during warm-ups in Week 6, requiring surgery and placing him on injured reserve. Richardson's limited appearances this season—only two games—have seen minimal impact, with just one completed pass for nine yards and a brief rushing attempt. Meanwhile, the Colts' offense remains highly effective, relying heavily on the running game, especially Jonathan Taylor, who is on a historic pace with multiple top-3 finishes. General manager Chris Ballard has stated that trading Richardson is not part of the team’s plans, leaving his future roster status uncertain. As the team prepares for upcoming games, the quarterback dynamic continues to evolve, with Jones now firmly in the starting role and Richardson’s recovery and development ongoing. Fantasy analysts suggest that players like Taylor and Pittman Jr. remain valuable assets, despite the quarterback changes.
