Anthony Richardson is the Indianapolis Colts quarterback and finished the 2025 regular season as a top-tier fantasy option at his position. He averaged 19.5 fantasy points per game across 13 appearances, though he currently sits outside our ranked 2026 draft board at quarterback. That per-game number is the starting point for every start or sit decision you make with him in 2026.
On the production side, Anthony Richardson finished 2025 with 2,718 passing yards and 18 touchdowns. He added 580 rushing yards and 7 rushing scores, which is the kind of dual-threat production that separates fantasy-viable quarterbacks from streamers.
The reason Anthony Richardson's fantasy profile stands out is his rushing floor. In weeks where his passing matchup gets squeezed, his legs keep him in the QB1 conversation. That is not true for pure pocket passers with similar overall PPG, and it is the biggest reason to target him early in drafts rather than stream the position.
Heading into 2026, Anthony Richardson projects as a core piece of the Indianapolis Colts offense. Managers drafting him need to plan around his Week 14 bye and monitor training camp reports for role changes. DraftCall's AI comparison engine lets you pit him against any other NFL player in seconds, factoring in matchup quality, recent form, and scoring format, so you can make start or sit calls with real reasoning instead of gut feel.
