Indianapolis Colts QB Anthony Richardson likely will have competition for the quarterback job next season, according to general manager Chris Ballard. Ballard said Richardson needs to work on his durability and accuracy this offseason.

Huddle Up: Richardson was limited to 11 games this season and has only played 15 games in two seasons. He has thrown 11 touchdowns and 13 interceptions in those games and has a completion percentage of 50.6%. His running ability helps his value and probably will be the leading candidate for the job during training camp. He can be at least a high-end No. 2 fantasy quarterback if he starts next season.

Huddle Up: Pittman was on the injury report for most of the season because of the injury, but it seems like rest will help the injury heal. He saw his numbers dip this season but should still be a big part of the passing game next season. He likely will be drafted in all fantasy leagues next season.

Huddle Up: Pittman did see his numbers drop in 2024, but the injury likely was a factor in his play.

He can be at least a flex option in most weeks next season.

Indianapolis Colts QB Joe Flacco went 26-for-38 for 330 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions against the New York Giants in Week 17. He also lost a fumble during the game.

Huddle Up: Flacco had to play with Anthony Richardson injured and had an uneven game against the Giants. Fantasy players will need to see if Flacco or Richardson will be the starter in Week 18. Richardson can be a starter in most leagues if he plays, but Flacco would only be a possible flex option in two-quarterback leagues if he starts again.
