Josh Downs Fantasy Football Outlook (2024)

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Wed, Aug 28th 2024, 8:05pm EDT

Before spraining his knee in Week 9, Downs was on his way to a wonderful rookie season. In Weeks 1-8, he was the WR36 in fantasy points per game with an 18.9% target share and 2.0 yards per route run (per Fantasy Points Data). Downs has more target competition this year, with the team adding Adonai Mitchell, who is a sizable upgrade over Alec Pierce. Indy will likely be a middle-of-the-road passing rate team that looks to run the ball once in the red zone. Downs' upside is likely capped as a WR4/5 in fantasy this season.
