Josh Downs
WR - Indianapolis Colts
52°Availability
Expert Note
View More NotesThe Colts have been highly coverage-specific with their wide receiver usage, but they have a new quarterback and face a pass defense that has flipped back and forth between single and two high this year. I'm just going to look at the Colts' receiving options with a top-down perspective this week. Downs is the WR53 in fantasy points per game with four top 36 weekly wide receiver finishes this season. Downs has a 16.1% target share with 32.8 receiving yards per game, 1.55 yards per route run, and an 18.5% first-read share. He leads the team with 12 red zone targets while also seeing five deep targets. Riley Leonard could lean on Tyler Warren and Josh Downs heavily this week, considering the defensive matchups. Since Week 10, Seattle has allowed the 13th-most receiving yards and the 15th-most fantasy points per game to slot receivers.

Fantasy Impact
Downs should be good to go for Sunday's game against the Seahawks. He is a risky WR4 with the uncertainty at quarterback for the Colts.
