Colts coach Shane Steichen, asked if Anthony Richardson would start in Week 9, said “We’re evaluating everything.”
Between every former player in the NFL (and some in his locker room) criticizing him for tapping out for a play in Indianapolis’ loss to Houston and a miserable 10-of-32, 175-yard performance, there would seem to be a line of thought for benching Richardson this week. Joe Flacco has looked capable as a backup, but no matter who starts, Minnesota’s defense has been threatening enough to keep them out of a fantasy QB1 conversation. Richardson has completed a league-low 44.4 percent of his passes this year for 958 yards, four touchdowns, and seven interceptions.
