Huddle Up: Although Richardson seems to have avoided a major injury, he still missed out on a lot of reps during minicamp. At this point, Daniel Jones has to be considered the frontrunner to open the year as the starter.

Huddle Up: Jones is receiving all of the work with the first-team offense with QB Anthony Richardson sidelined and likely is the leading candidate for the starting job. It is not known how long he will keep the job if he is named the starter and should only be a possible No. 2 quarterback in fantasy leagues.

Huddle Up: With Richardson remaining out indefinitely, it's safe to presume QB Daniel Jones has the upper hand in this competition. We'll monitor this situation, but Richardson is no more valuable than a late-round fantasy flier when healthy.

Huddle Up: Jones hasn't done much the last two seasons due to a mix of injuries and poor performance. He was solid in 2022, though, producing decent QB2 fantasy numbers thanks in large to his ability as a runner (708 yards, 7 TDs). This feels very much like a make-or-break season for Jones, who is playing on a one-year deal -- a far cry from his last payday (four years, $160 million). That's a powerful motivator, and clearly the veteran thought Indianapolis represented his best chance to get his career back on track. Jones can take a step in that direction this week. If he can outlast Richardson for starter duties in August, he might offer some late-round appeal due to his dual-threat upside.

Huddle Up: Fowler stated that Richardson threw "hundreds of footballs a day" at times during OTAs, which is likely what led to this issue. As a result, it sounds as though Richardson should be fine for the start of camp. While the consensus seems to favor Daniel Jones in Indy's quarterback competition this summer, Richardson easily offers the team its best chance to win if he improved his accuracy after working with a biometrics expert this spring. The winner of this competition could push for low-end QB1 production in fantasy.

Huddle Up: Although Pittman appears to have avoided a serious injury, there is still some cause for concern. He is coming off the worst season since his rookie year, and the quarterback situation in Indianapolis could continue to cap Pittman's upside.

Huddle Up: This news comes down shortly after the news of Anthony Richardson (shoulder) expected to miss at least a month. Pittman is coming off his worst season since his rookie year, one that was likely greatly affected by a lingering back issue. It remains to be seen if Indy's quarterback play is good enough this season to support its talented receiving corps. If it is, Pittman, Josh Downs and rookie Tyler Warren would figure to benefit the most.

Huddle Up: Awful news for the third-year quarterback, who by all accounts was having a good offseason. Richardson's time away figures to allow Daniel Jones to handle the majority of first-team snaps, which may be the only opening the latter needed to win the starting job. With that said, Richardson still has a good chance at winning the quarterback competition if he can return early during training camp. Expect both players to make starts for the Colts this season.

Huddle Up: Downs could sit out the rest of the offseason workouts, but it does not appear to be a serious issue. He posted a career-high 803 yards in 2024 and should see a decent amount of targets this upcoming season. He can be a late round pick in fantasy leagues but probably will not be a starting option most weeks.

Huddle Up: Steichen also made it a point to highlight some fundamental and technical improvements Richardson has made since last season. Fantasy managers should not expect a resolution to this competition until early to mid-August, as Steichen undoubtedly wants to have one player win the job convincingly and keep it for as long as possible. Since both quarterbacks are very good runners, the winner of this competition is worth monitoring for fantasy purposes.

Huddle Up: Mitchell (23-312-0) struggled mightily as a rookie, and with Anthony Richardson having all kinds of problems with his accuracy it might be an uphill battle for any receiver to produce reliable numbers this season. Barring major strides in the passing game, Mitchell isn't worth considering for a roster spot.

Huddle Up: Warren is expected to play a ton as the team loves his blocking and receiving abilities. You might be considering him over aging veterans like Travis Kelce in the midrange TE1 equation in fantasy.

Huddle Up: Leonard seems to be on track to be the No. 3 quarterback for the Colts in 2025 with Anthony Richardson and Daniel Jones competing for the starting job. He has the chance to become a starter in the future but can be avoided in fantasy leagues at this time.

Huddle Up: Giddens probably will not see much playing time behind Jonathan Taylor but could compete for the No. 2 running back job during training camp. He probably can be avoided in leagues this upcoming season unless Taylor suffers an injury.

Huddle Up: The days of rookie tight ends failing to make an impact are over as we've seen in recent years with Kyle Pitts (68-1,026-1), Sam LaPorta (86-889-10), and Brock Bowers (112-1,194-5) all delivering TE1 value right out of the gate. Warren has a chance to join them after the Colts finished last in the NFL in tight end receptions a year ago. His blocking should help open things up for Jonathan Taylor, and his hands could make him a nice intermediate target for Anthony Richardson (or even Daniel Jones). There's TE1 potential here, though he might be better viewed as a TE2 entering the season.

Huddle Up: Between his early-season back injury and the erratic play of Anthony Richardson, Pittman was facing long odds in terms of meeting expectations in fantasy in 2024. Assuming the back is no longer an issue, the Colts should get slightly better play at the quarterback position this season - whether it comes in the form of Richardson improving as a result of working with a biometrics coach or Daniel Jones playing well enough to win the job. Regardless, Pittman should be considered a decent fantasy WR3 option in early drafts.

Huddle Up: Richardson and Jones will compete for the starting job leading up to the 2025 season, so fantasy players will need to monitor the situation. Richardson likely has more fantasy value than Jones at this point, but neither may be more than a No. 2 fantasy quarterback.

Huddle Up: Richardson's play has been inconsistent since entering the NFL but will have a chance to compete with Jones for the starting job during training camp. Fantasy players should keep an eye on the situation because Richardson will have some fantasy value if he plays.

Huddle Up: He'll be in the running to start with Anthony Richardson on a solid roster. Whoever wins the job could be a matchup play most weeks and a solid QB2.

Huddle Up: Jones probably will not be able to find a guaranteed starting job in free agency but probably will have the chance to compete for a starting job with a team. He will be a No. 2 fantasy quarterback in leagues if he starts in 2025.

Huddle Up: Richardson is expected to have competition for the starting job next season so working with Allen should help him improve his play. He is a solid fantasy option when playing and could be at least a high-end No. 2 quarterback if he starts.

Huddle Up: Richardson has flashed a few times as a pro, but injuries and erratic play have him fighting for the starting gig. Taking a step forward in Year 3 starts with fending off the unnamed competition by way of being more accurate as a passer. One has to expect the organization prefers the former first-rounder wins given the investment. Until we know more, the reality is Richardson's fantasy draft stock is at its lowest point over his short career.

Huddle Up: Mitchell did not get much help from Anthony Richardson, but his quarterback's accuracy issues were only part of the problem. His drop rate on 55 targets wasn't bad (7.3%), but he also didn't help himself with the occasional sloppy route. Mitchell is a freaky athlete but a raw receiver, so he should get plenty of time to prove himself so long as he continues to show some growth. It might be a bit premature to put him on sleeper lists for next season, but it wouldn't be shocking if he ended up doubling last year's reception total (23).

Huddle Up: Taylor missed a few games because of injury but still finished fourth in the league with 1,431 rushing yards. He should continue to be a significant part of the Colts offense next season and should be a weekly starting option in all leagues.

Huddle Up: Richardson saw his completion percentage drop to 47.7% in his first extended action as a pro in 2024 (11 games) after logging just four starts as a rookie. Allen noted that Hess helped him realize that his hip was too often out in front of his arm when throwing, which largely contributed to how often he was inaccurate in his early years with the Bills. It should come as no surprise if Hess reaches a similar conclusion about Richardson, who is a massively talented player with relatively little football experience and poor fundamentals. The good thing about Richardson this season - as it relates to fantasy - is that his cost will be low enough to draft as a QB2, which should be enough to make him a massive bargain if Hess can work his magic on him.

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 should be ready for the start of training camp if he does undergo surgery and probably will be one of the main options in the passing game in 2025. He can be at least a flex option in most weeks next season.
