Josh Downs Week 8 Outlook - Colts at Texans

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Oct 24th 2024, 1:05pm EDT

Downs has averaged 3.2 fantasy points per game with Anthony Richardson under center. Yep, you read that correctly. He hasn't finished with more than 22 receiving yards in either of their two games on the field together. Downs' low aDOT role is doomed weekly without volume. With Richardson, Downs has had an 18.2% target share, which has amounted to four targets and 12.5 receiving yards per game. Downs is a weekly sit candidate until this passing attack displays a pulse. Houston has allowed the fourth-fewest receiving yards per game to slot receivers.
