Joe Flacco, Top Fantasy Waiver-Wire QB Options After Anthony Richardson's Injury

Anthony Richardson fantasy owners may need to target the waiver wire for Week 5.

The Indianapolis Colts quarterback exited his team's Week 4 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers with a hip injury and Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reported that he had been ruled out for the remainder of the game.

Richardson finished 3-of-4 on the day for 71 yards while adding 24 yards on three carries on the ground. Joe Flacco came into the game to replace Richardson and helped steer the Colts to a 17-3 halftime lead.

Richardson's future status is currently unknown but smart fantasy managers will probably look for some roster insurance.
