00:00 All right, let's start with Anthony Richardson.
00:06 There you go.
00:07 No surprise here.
00:08 I know it was a small sample size.
00:09 I know, but this guy is special.
00:12 This guy is built differently.
00:14 This is a dude that has the body of a linebacker, the arm of, you know, Dan Marino and the legs
00:22 of Lamar Jackson.
00:23 I mean, you just don't, you know, those memes where you build the quarterback with all the
00:27 perfect pieces, like it's all there.
00:29 And the dude is solid.
00:31 Like, he is not a guy that you're worried about in terms of work ethic.
00:34 You're not a guy in terms of character.
00:36 He is a leader.
00:37 Everybody loves this kid.
00:38 I've seen so many interviews with this guy.
00:39 I wish I could interview him because he just seems like such a solid guy.
00:42 He is still a little green.
00:43 That's okay.
00:44 That's what they said about Josh Allen too.
00:47 And who's the number one quarterback in fantasy this past year?
00:50 Josh Allen, who's the number one guy on the board and fantasy going into 2024?
00:54 Oh, right.
00:55 It's Josh Allen.
00:56 Who could challenge him?
00:57 I think it's Anthony Richardson.
00:58 So let's take a look back at the game logs of Anthony Richardson.
01:00 That first game against the Jaguars, 223 passing yards, also 10 rushes for 40 yards.
01:05 He finishes QB for that week.
01:07 Now the next week against Houston, a tougher game.
01:10 Obviously he was stunted in that game, had some issues.
01:13 He still put up 18 points though, because he had two touchdowns and Russian touchdowns
01:17 again, matter.
01:19 So even when it's not pretty, it's still productive when it comes to a guy like Anthony Richardson.
01:25 So keep that in mind.
01:26 Also, now that we have some perspective on that week too, it turns out the Houston, Texas
01:31 defense is a little bit better than people thought it was going to be.
01:34 So let's give the Houston, Texas defense a little bit of credit here because that defense
01:38 did play very well last year.
01:40 And that was a playoff team.
01:42 He missed week three against the Ravens.
01:44 Then in week four against the Rams, another 200 yards passing another 56 yards, rushing
01:49 and three more touchdowns, 30 fantasy points in that game.
01:52 He was QB two on the week.
01:55 Then unfortunately the game against Tennessee, which by the way, you started off like a house
01:59 on fire.
02:00 He looked phenomenal in that game before getting hurt and the rest is history.
02:03 So I'm not trying to extrapolate stats.
02:05 What I'm trying to say is if we have a healthy off season for Anthony Richardson, if we bring
02:10 back Michael Pittman, if we continue to do good things, you saw how well that offensive
02:13 line played.
02:15 You saw that they got Zach Moss running the football, looking like a stock Moss off the
02:20 scrap heap.
02:22 So a healthy Jonathan Taylor, who is now signed and into you hope for a better season for
02:25 him.
02:26 I think part of the Jonathan Taylor disappointment and the injuries were whenever you have a
02:30 guy and you understand this map, it's like pitchers and every other athlete, same thing
02:33 with wrestlers.
02:34 When you take them out of their routine, it's hard to get in that routine and stay healthy.
02:38 The body just doesn't react the same.
02:40 He didn't have the normal routine cause he doesn't have the normal progression of the
02:43 season.
02:44 He came in four weeks late because of the holdout.
02:47 Then he signed and then it was a little back and forth with injuries.
02:50 It was not good.
02:51 Let's hope that next year is a clean slate and Jonathan Taylor gets back to himself because
02:54 if Jonathan Taylor is right and Pittman's back in the fold and you've got downs and
02:57 you've got all these pieces with that offensive line and Shane Stikin running this offense,
03:01 Anthony Richardson could be a very special player.
03:04 I love already.
03:05 I want to look ahead.
03:06 I can't wait to bet the over on the wind total for the Colts because my guess is it's going
03:10 to be somewhere around nine, somewhere in that range, maybe nine and a half.
03:15 I think they're a double digit wind team and I don't think it's going to be close because
03:17 I think that's a vision is very much up for grabs.
03:20 Let's talk about Anthony Richardson.
03:21 Let's talk about the Colts.
03:23 Again, I'm laying out a small sample size, but man, oh man, was it a good sample size
03:28 to lay out.
