Anthony Richardson (shoulder) out for Colts 4-8 weeks
Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson (shoulder) is expected to miss 4-8 weeks, reports Adam Schefter of ESPN.
What It Means:
The length of Richardson's absence will depend on rehab and whether his injured right throwing shoulder requires surgery. The Colts officially placed Richardson on injured reserve Wednesday, meaning he will miss a minimum of four games. Gardner Minshew will start at quarterback while Richardson is sidelined, but Michael Pittman Jr. and Josh Downs should continue to see the bulk of targets. The Colts are visiting a tough Jacksonville Jaguars defense in Week 6.
Minshew is the QB19 in numberFire's Week 6 rankings and our models project him for 15.6 FanDuel points. Among the projected starting quarterbacks, Minshew's $6,500 salary is tied with Zach Wilson for second-lowest of the week. The Jaguars are allowing the sixth-most FanDuel points per game to opposing quarterbacks, but their pass defense ranks seventh based on numberFire's opponent-adjusted NEP model.
