Should You Start or Roster Anthony Richardson Sr.?
The profile that once made Richardson tantalizing remains unresolved on the page. His fullest sample, 2024, produced 499 rushing yards and six scores on the ground across 11 games, yet the passing line stayed alarming: a 47.7% completion rate, a minus-10.9 CPOE, a 39.6% success rate, and minus-0.056 EPA per play. The 2025 season barely happened, just two appearances and nine passing yards before the job slipped away entirely.
Now he sits behind Daniel Jones after requesting a trade, with Riley Leonard also in the backup mix, so there is no standing role to draft. His arm has yet to stabilize, but the legs still carry real weekly ceiling, and he has cleared 22 fantasy points in six of 11 starts where he played meaningful snaps. Leave him on waivers in single-QB formats and treat him purely as a Superflex dynasty hold awaiting a starting opening.
