"Richardson enters his third NFL season as a backup behind Daniel Jones. On one hand, the 2023 No. 4 overall pick has a ton of upside; he ranked no lower than sixth among QBs in carries, rush yards and rush TDs last season despite playing only 10 full games, while also pacing the position in average depth of throw and yards per completion. That led to four games with 20-plus fantasy points. On the other hand, Richardson's poor passing may land him on the bench. He had fewer than 15 fantasy points in his other six outings, threw 12 INTs on the season (fourth most) and his 48% completion percentage ranked last. In total, he averaged 15.8 fantasy PPG in the 10 games, which would've ranked 15th over the full season. Richardson's elite rushing ability and aggressive passing style will put him on the weekly QB1 radar when he's in the lineup, but we may not see that for quite a while. He doesn't need to be drafted."

"Richardson has been relegated to a true backup with Daniel Jones playing well as the starter. There was some thought early in the season that Richardson could be used on short-yardage and goal-line plays, but Jones has been strong in those situations as well."

"Similar to last week, Skowronek managed to log a full practice on the final day of the week to be cleared of any injury designation heading into gameday. This marks consecutive weeks that the wide receiver will play through a hand injury. The 28-year-old played just four offensive snaps last week with no targets, making his living on 65 percent of special teams snaps. This week will likely be no different for Skowronek, who sits behind DK Metcalf, Calvin Austin, Adam Thielen, and Marquez Valdes-Scantling on the wide receiver depth chart."
