Richardson isn't getting another shot to start this season. The Colts are Joe Flacco's team now, for better or for worse.

In two weeks since replacing Anthony Richardson as the starter, Flacco has committed six turnovers and been sacked seven times.

“We're going through some adversity right now,” the Indianapolis coach said. “But we get to decide how this thing ends.”

Following Sunday's loss, Joe Flacco's record as Indianapolis' starter is 1-3, while Anthony Richardson is 3-3 for the team.

After a two-week benching, Richardson is back as the Colts' starter. This second shot needs to be different.

It's hard to stomach playing any Colts wide receivers this week, but Downs and Pittman can be considered in the WR4 range for desperate fantasy managers.

The receiver's return against the Jets will coincide with the reinsertion of quarterback Anthony Richardson into the starting lineup.

The last few weeks have been a roller coaster for Richardson. "Lord knows, (it's been) challenging ... but I stuck with it."

Running gives Indianapolis' quarterback a chance to be special, and unlike his arm, that part of his game doesn't need much sculpting.

Richardson has shown flashes of brilliance before. What he needs to show now is that he can become a consistent force leading the Colts.
