Anthony Richardson’s preseason scare with a dislocated right pinky finger has Colts fans holding their breath but optimism remains. A quick X-ray cleared him for a day-to-day timeline, and Richardson revealed the finger was popped back into place by Indianapolis’ medical staff. Best-case: Week 1 against the Dolphins without a major setback. The moment underscores Richardson’s durability questions given a history of injuries, while keeping fantasy managers vigilant about Week 1 risk and the Colts’ passing upside if he’s healthy.

From a fantasy lens, Richardson’s rushing upside cushions some risk, but a potential Week 1 absence could tilt targets toward the run game and rely more on Colts pass-catchers when he’s active. The development colors Week 1 expectations vs. Miami and injects a layer of uncertainty into Indianapolis’ aerial attack expectations early in the season while spotlighting how backup scenarios could shape opening-week projections.
