If Jones Misses Time
Next man up: Anthony Richardson SR.
Anthony Richardson SR. is next on the Colts depth chart at quarterback. In superflex leagues he's worth a speculative bench spot for Jones managers; in 1QB leagues he's a waiver add only if Jones misses time.
Who else it affects
A quarterback change matters most for Josh Downs and Tyler Warren, his two most-targeted pass catchers this season.
