Fantasy Football Outlook: Will Anthony Richardson Play Week 6?
Anthony Richardson (oblique) inactive Week 6
Indianapolis Colts QB Anthony Richardson (oblique) is listed among the team’s inactives in Week 6, with a designation of the emergency QB3.
Fantasy Impact
Despite earlier reports that Richardson planned to play this week, QB Joe Flacco will start once more. Expect a more pass-heavy Colts offense vs. the Titans with RB Jonathan Taylor out as well.
Josh Collier
Anthony Richardson (oblique) plans to play Week 6
Indianapolis Colts QB Anthony Richardson plans to play in Week 6 against the Tennessee Titans despite being held out in Week 5 due to an oblique injury.
Fantasy Impact
Richardson logged a limited-full-limited set of practices this week and intends to play in Week 6, says Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports. With Richardson sidelined for roughly a game and a half, veteran QB Joe Flacco stepped in to operate the offense, throwing for 527 yards and five touchdowns. Richardson has accounted for 654 yards and three touchdowns in roughly two more games than Flacco; while he has not shown the dominance that was expected given his preseason hype, Flacco showed that there is more juice in this offense left to unlock, making Richardson still an intriguing QB for fantasy purposes with a high upside.

What the Experts Are Saying
Richardson practiced in a limited fashion on Wednesday and Friday while logging a full session on Thursday. I expect him to return to the huddle this week. Richardson has been volatile this season with QB4, QB21, and QB31 weekly finishes. Among 35 qualifying quarterbacks, he ranks third in yards per attempt and fifth in fantasy points per dropback, but hea??s been dreadful as a passer, sitting at 34th in passer rating and CPOE. In his three full games, he has averaged six carries and 39 rushing yards. Richardson is a borderline QB1 with a tough matchup this week. Tennessee has fielded a strong pass defense this season. They have smothered quarterbacks with the lowest yards per attempt, the third-lowest CPOE, and the lowest success rate per dropback.
