Colts' Anthony Richardson benched after rocky start but remains fantasy prospect

Anthony Richardson began the 2024 season strong for the Colts, amassing 268 total yards and three touchdowns in a game against the Texans. However, his performance faltered soon after, with a completion rate of just 50 of 114 passes over his next five games, leading to him being benched by head coach Shane Steichen. Despite struggles, Richardson, the fourth overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, remains a talented athlete and is considered a potential valuable option for fantasy rosters, having averaged 29.2 fantasy points per four quarters the previous year.
