SIT

Anthony Richardson's recent carry share of 14.3% in his last game signals a potential rushing role, but his overall trailing metrics indicate he is not yet a reliable fantasy option.

Role & volume

Richardson has shown some rushing ability with a 14.3% carry share in one of his last two games, indicating a role that could offer QB rushing upside.

Projected role

Despite recent developments and preseason performances, Richardson's current value rank as QB40 suggests he is not expected to be the primary fantasy option for Indianapolis.

Range (floor–ceiling)

Given his inconsistent trailing metrics and low value ranking, Richardson offers a limited ceiling with a significant floor risk, making him a SIT candidate in most formats.

Risk & Opportunity Analysis (3 flags)

Risk Flags

Injury History
Currently questionable with a groin issue that kept him out of Wednesday practice, adding to a pattern of missed time (eye issue in 2025, back in 2024) that undercuts confidence he'd stay on the field through any starting window.
Contract Status
Richardson requested a trade during the 2026 offseason before returning to Indianapolis; with no fifth-year option exercised, he is playing out a walk year with his long-term home undetermined beyond 2026.

Opportunity Flags

Rushing Profile
In his last extended starter sample (2024), Richardson posted a 93% snap share and 21% carry share, an every-down dual-threat workload that gives him a rare rushing floor among dynasty QBs whenever he's on the field as the starter.
