Grade 1 PCL sprain; mobile QB with superflex upside but limited deep-ball accuracy

Riley LeonardQBIND

Colts starting QB diagnosed with grade one PCL sprain, likely not long-term and expected to miss only this week. As a mobile Notre Dame QB with 17 rushing touchdowns in his final year, he has superflex upside when healthy. Rates as a streamable QB2 in superflex leagues if desperate, but the source lacks confidence in his ability to throw accurate deep passes outside the hashes, which negatively impacts Alec Pierce. Caution against over-projecting Michael Pittman's strong Week 14 performance with Leonard, as Jacksonville was up 2–3 touchdowns and playing cover-four defense designed to funnel checkdowns.

Source transcript excerpt
Riley Leonard just diagnosed with a grade one PCL sprain. That's not a significant injury... he had 17 rushing touchdowns his final year at Notre Dame. The guy can scoot... if Leonard gets starts, I think he's like a streamable QB2 in superflex leagues if you're desperate.
