Fantasy Tiers

Anthony Richardson: Tier 5 (Deep League) QB (ranked #99 at the position). Will Levis: Tier 5 (Deep League) QB (ranked #99 at the position). Among the top 32 quarterbacks this season, Anthony Richardson is producing at 89% of elite pace and Will Levis at 60%. These two are close enough in the rankings that weekly matchup should dictate your start.

Anthony Richardson vs Will Levis: Who Should You Start?

There is a real production gap between these two quarterbacks. Anthony Richardson (Indianapolis Colts) averaged 19.5 PPG over 13 games in 2025, outscoring Will Levis (Tennessee Titans, 13.2 PPG) by 6.3 points per week. That separation would need a significant matchup swing to overcome.

That 6.3-point weekly advantage for Anthony Richardson is meaningful but not automatic. Fantasy football is a week-to-week sport, and the answer to "who should I start" often changes based on opponent, recent form, and game environment. Season averages set the baseline; weekly context makes the call.

Anthony Richardson offers meaningful rushing upside with 580 yards on the ground in 2025, which separates his floor from a pocket passer like Will Levis (2780 passing yards, 17 touchdowns). In games where the passing matchup looks ugly, that rushing production can be the entire difference on a start/sit call.

One scheduling note: Anthony Richardson is off Week 14 and Will Levis Week 5. If these two are on your roster, you will need a fill-in quarterback for both weeks. DraftCall flags bye conflicts so you can plan ahead rather than panic on waivers.
