Indianapolis Colts Week 1 Starting QB Odds

The Indianapolis Colts are in for a quarterback competition ahead of the 2025 NFL season.

Indy drafted Anthony Richardson fourth overall in the 2023 NFL Draft, but in his 15 professional starts over two seasons, he has completed 50.6% of his passes for 2,391 yards and an 11-13 touchdown-to-interception ratio.

As a result, the team signed former New York Giants QB Daniel Jones as a free agent and then drafted former Notre Dame QB Riley Leonard, who led his team to the most recent College Football Playoff National Championship game.

Indianapolis Colts Starting QB - Week 1 Odds

Daniel Jones	-210
Anthony Richardson	+165
Riley Leonard	+6000

Daniel Jones has six years of experience as a starting quarterback, and he's the early -210 favorite to start for the Indianapolis Colts in Week 1.

Jones has 69 career starts under his belt, and he has completed an average of 64.1% of his passes for 3,541 yards and a 17-11 TD-INT ratio per 17 games played. He has proven himself to be a dual threat, as he rushed for career highs of 707 yards and seven TDs in 120 attempts in 2022.

Anthony Richardson, the incumbent starter, is the second-favorite at +165. His best attribute has been his rushing ability. In his career, he has 10 rushing TDs and has averaged more than 5.0 yards per carry.

But, the former Florida Gators signal caller has struggled to stay healthy, and teams set up in tight coverage against him last season. His average depth of target of 12.2 yards was 2.9 yards higher than the next-closest player, proving how defenses can force him into uncomfortable situations where he has to throw long.

Riley Leonard has the longest odds at +6000. He never passed for more than 3,000 yards in a season, having played three at Duke and one at Notre Dame, but he took care of the ball as he never threw more than eight interceptions in a single campaign.

A sixth-round pick in 2025, Leonard was likely always going to be viewed as a long-term project early in his career, but he does share the dual-threat attributes of the other guys in the Colts' QB room.
