Anthony Richardson

Colts coach Shane Steichen said Anthony Richardson and Daniel Jones will split the starter’s reps in OTAs.

Steichen said he will flip-flop the reps between his quarterbacks and reiterated that it’s an “open competition” for the starting gig. Nothing here is breaking news. The Colts have used the “open competition” phrase previously, and Steichen already said he plans for both quarterbacks to get equal time with the starters throughout the offseason. Still, it’s important to note that the coaches are sticking to the party line so far, even if the front office would likely prefer Richardson to be the starter. Richardson is an elite fantasy option when under center, but the leash will be incredibly short if he struggles early. That is, of course, if he even beats out Jones for the job ahead of Week 1.
