QB Anthony Richardson wk 5 @IND vs. TEN (Rostered 90%, Started 49% on Yahoo!)
The fact that Anthony Richardson isn’t started at a much higher rate is astonishing. So far this year he’s played in 3 games and has a 100% Clutch Ratio (CR, amount of consistently high scoring games over total games played). He’s averaging 23.68 points per game for the season and that number jumps up to 26.38 points per game when he plays at home (which 3 of his next 4 games are, including this week). Richardson’s consistency is certainly assisted by his rushing “Konami cheat code” status where he’s averaged 43.67 yards per game on the season. To put that into persepective Richardson is 31st in rushing yards per game, that’s not just for quarterbacks as that list includes running backs as well! Richardson looks to be a sure bet for consistent production despite being a rookie, those who’ve acquired him are going to continue reaping the rewards!
