Daniel Jones was named starter in Indianapolis, a move that shifts short-term fantasy expectations away from Anthony Richardson and toward Jones’s efficient, leadership-driven offense. The pod underscores Richardson’s long-term ceiling but stresses that Jones’ steadiness and veteran poise give the Colts a safer Week 1 floor while Richardson continues to grow behind the scenes.

Across the league, Cincinnati’s preseason woes fuel questions about Burrow and the line, while the Bills’ blowout loss is largely dismissed as preseason noise. The show also weighs Dalton Risner’s visit to Indy and the Sam Darnold option as evidence teams are actively balancing risk and upside at quarterback. Overall, the episode blends early-season curiosity with sharp fantasy angles on talent, development, and opportunity windows.
