BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~99 Overall
CURRENT ADP: ~117
ANALYSIS: A physical phenom who put together perhaps the most impressive NFL Combine performance in the history of the QB position, Anthony Richardson appears to have been built in a lab with the purpose of scoring fantasy football points. A talented rusher with a rocket arm, Richardson is often labeled raw due to his lack of experience at the college level (he only started 13 games at the University of Florida). But he's shown enough in Indy's training camp for the organization to name him their starter for 2023.
The biggest concern going into 2023 was just how much Richardson would actually be on the field during his rookie campaign. With that issue addressed, we can now focus on his ridiculous fantasy-scoring potential. He comes with a nice built-in floor due to his ability to run the football -- he rushed for 654 yards and nine TDs at Florida last year -- and possesses very legitimate upside as a passer thanks to his cannon-like arm strength.
If Richardson develops as a thrower throughout the season under the tutelage of Colts head coach Shane Steichen, the sky is the limit. While there's always lots of uncertainty with rookie QBs -- especially one as unpolished as Richardson -- his elite potential makes him a risk worth taking at his current ADP and a QB that I'll be eager to snag ahead of other QBs who lack his rushing upside.
