Daniel Jones has sparked the Indianapolis Colts to an undefeated start, throwing for 816 yards and 3 touchdowns while completing 71.6% of passes and posting elite EPA/play; he remains a threat with his legs. Jonathan Taylor has supplied a powerful rushing punch, easing the offense and amplifying Indy’s early success.

Richardson’s future in Indy looks murkier as Jones shines. Ballard long maintained no trade, but Jones’s ascent could force a rethink if Indy pushes for a playoff run. Steichen’s scheme has Indy playing with conviction, making Richardson’s development and any potential midseason trade a live topic for fantasy managers and bettors alike.

The Rams are weighing life after Stafford, eyeing Anthony Richardson as a potential trade target. Richardson is 23, under two more seasons on his rookie deal, and the 2027 fifth-year option sits around 22.93 million, making him an affordable long‑term bet if LA can swing a deal with a mid‑round cost.

Sean McVay’s system could accelerate Richardson’s growth, while Garoppolo and Stetson Bennett IV provide bridge stability. Blake Corum’s rise with LA adds value to the Rams, and the Colts/Daniel Jones dynamic underscores the quarterback market’s volatility as teams recalibrate for 2025 and beyond.
