Anthony Richardson had a great start against the Texans last week before leaving with a concussion, he passed for 56 yards and ran for 35 yards with two rushing touchdowns.
Lamar should be able to put up some big numbers against the Colts defense that allowed 436 total yards of offense. The Ravens defense is without multiple players like Marlon Humphrey and Odafe Oweh and Marcus Williams.
The Colts will be without rookie Anthony Richardson this week. Minshew will be the leading the team Sunday, expect a lot of running this weekend from the Colts. If the Colts want to stay in this game they will need to establish a run game to control time of possession.
