Anthony Richardson A QB2 With Some Upside In Week 13
14 seconds agoIndianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson is coming off a Week 12 performance in which he completed less than 40 percent of his passes and has just a 47.1% completion rate on the year. Not only that, with just a 5:7 TD:INT in seven starts and missing Josh Downs, the 22-year-old won't instill managers with much confidence to use him in their lineups in Week 13. On the other hand, the second-year pro has had double-digit rush attempts in three of the last four games he's played and scored twice on the ground during that time. His rushing ability, combined with facing the Patriots this week, does offer a glimmer of hope that the former first-round draft pick could make for a viable streaming option if needed. The Patriots have allowed the 12th-most fantasy points to quarterbacks this season, but have yielded four touchdown passes in back-to-back weeks now and 16 in their last seven games, compared to just three pass TDs in the first five weeks. Add it up, and Richardson has the makings of a high-end QB2 this week, with QB1 upside given his penchant for finding the end zone via the rush.
