Three teams have announced their starting quarterbacks for Week 11 of the 2024 NFL season. After his benching two weeks ago, the Indianapolis Colts are switching their QB depth chart once more after reverting to Anthony Richardson. The second-year player will replace veteran Joe Flacco, who couldn’t replicate his magical run with the Cleveland Browns last season.
While the Colts will give Richardson another shot, he must do better than what he has produced this season. The former Florida standout has completed only 44.4 percent of his throws (59 of 133) for 958 yards, four touchdowns, and seven interceptions. However, he does have 242 rushing yards and a touchdown. Richardson can prove he’s worthy of the opportunity by helping defeat the New York Jets.

Meanwhile, the Las Vegas Raiders will still go with Gardner Minshew as their starter against the Miami Dolphins. He’s coming off a disappointing performance against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 9, finishing with only ten completions for 124 yards. Minshew has 148 completions for 1,501 yards, six touchdowns, and eight interceptions through eight games.
Finally, Mac Jones will be the Jacksonville Jaguars’ starting quarterback against the Detroit Lions. He gets the opportunity after announcing that Trevor Lawrence will be out for another week due to injury. Jones has thrown for 139 passing yards and two interceptions in three games this season.
