News: 1 day agoColts coach Shane Steichen said Sunday that both Richardson and Daniel Jones will "play a good amount" in the preseason opener Thursday at Baltimore, JJ Stankevitz of the Colts' official site reports.

Spin: Reports out of Colts training camp suggest that Richardson and Jones both have shown improvement after a rough first few days of camp, but without either QB pulling away from the other. They'll continue to compete for the starting job in the preseason, with Steichen failing to name a starter for Thursday but saying that he'll try to even out snaps between the two over the first couple of preseason games.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Richardson enters his third NFL season as one of the trickiest wild cards in fantasy. On one hand, the 2023 No. 4 overall pick has a ton of upside; he ranked no lower than sixth among QBs in carries, rush yards and rush TDs last season despite playing only 10 full games, while also pacing the position in average depth of throw and yards per completion. That led to four games with 20-plus fantasy points. On the other hand, Richardson's poor passing may land him on the bench. He had fewer than 15 fantasy points in his other six outings, threw 12 INTs on the season (fourth most) and his 48% completion percentage ranked last. In total, he averaged 15.8 fantasy PPG in the 10 games, which would've ranked 15th over the full season. Richardson is no longer a lock to start with Daniel Jones in the mix, but his elite rushing ability and aggressive passing style will put him on the weekly QB1 radar when he's in the lineup.
