Anthony Richardson is a 2024 fantasy football draft value at quarterback. Target Anthony Richardson as a QB1 in fantasy football drafts.
BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~48 Overall
CURRENT ADP: ~56
ANALYSIS: There are question marks surrounding Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson's health entering the 2024 season. In Richardson's rookie season, he played only four games (two full games) due to a concussion and a season-ending shoulder injury. However, it's hard to ignore what he did when healthy last year.
In the two full games that Richardson played, he scored 21.9 fantasy points and 29.6 fantasy points. In both contests, the Colts quarterback also rushed 10 times for at least 40 yards and one touchdown. As a result, he is a player to target early in drafts as your QB1.
A healthy Anthony Richardson is 2024 is going to score a ridiculous amount of fantasy points…
But there is risk with his shoulder injury/durability but the sky is the limit

Health is likely a reason why some fantasy managers don't take him at his 52 ADP. But his upside is too big to pass on at this point in drafts. Richardson's rushing potential gives him overall QB1 upside in just his second NFL season. That's why he's a great quarterback target late in the fourth round or early in the fifth round of fantasy drafts.
