Colts' Anthony Richardson: Named Week 1 starter
Richardson will open the regular season as the Colts' starting quarterback, head coach Shane Steichen announced Tuesday.
Richardson will carry his preseason starting duties into Week 1, relegating Gardner Minshew, a capable veteran, to backup and mentorship duties. Adapting to the NFL may not happen quickly for Richardson due to his limited starting experience in college, but his elite athleticism and multidimensional skill set could translate for fantasy purposes without much delay. In his first preseason start against the Bills, Richardson completed seven of 12 pass attempts for 67 yards and rushed twice for seven yards, with no touchdowns and one interception. The No. 4 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft will likely get another chance to showcase his talents in Saturday's exhibition matchup with the Bears.
