Colts quarterback drama surged in Saturday’s preseason clash with Green Bay, as Daniel Jones opened and Anthony Richardson followed, each delivering moments that matter for fantasy planners. Jones flashed efficiency early, piling more than 100 passing yards in the first quarter, while Richardson answered with a touchdown drive and a series of plays that showcased the athletic ceiling that made him a top draft pick. The result kept Indy’s QB race wide open, with Richardson’s upside juxtaposed against Jones’s floor as the safe, experience-driven option.

Richardson spent the first half working with the Colts’ backups and connected on downfield throws to Andrew Ogletree and Ashton Dulin, then flashed his rushing burst on a third-and-9 scramble. A late-decision pass to Gould looked like a big gain but was wiped out by a penalty, underscoring the fine line between big-play potential and execution. Jones, meanwhile, ran the offense with poise, tossing a 22-yard sideline gem to Michael Pittman Jr. and threading a strike to a rookie tight end for 25 yards. Indy’s offense produced only three points on Jones’s two drives, but the overall impression is a true competition that could tilt either way for Week 1.

For fantasy managers, Richardson’s dual-threat profile keeps him as the high-variance, ceiling option, while Jones remains the safer daily-fantasy anchor with a clearer Week 1 floor. The Colts’ receiving corps—Ogletree, Dulin, Pittman Jr.—provided legitimate targets, and Richardson’s ability to extend plays with his legs adds a distinct rushing component to his fantasy value. Keep an eye on how Indy leverages Richardson with starting reps and how the backfield and tight ends’ll be involved as the competition narrows.
