Josh Downs Week 17 Outlook - Colts at Giants
By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Sat, Dec 28th 2024, 11:05pm EST
In Downs' four games with Flacco starting, he finished as the WR17, WR14, WR31, and WR20 in weekly scoring while seeing seven red zone targets (one touchdown). He had a 27.6% target share, 2.43 YPRR, and a 33% first-read share. Downs averaged 7.25 receptions and 66.8 receiving yards per game. Downs gets a bump from Flacco taking over this week, but Indy's passing volume could still limit him. Indy likely doesn't have to throw much this week to beat the Giants. That impacts both his ceiling and floor this week. New York has allowed the ninth-most PPR points per target to slot receivers this season.
