Flock Fantasy on Josh Downs

VideoA New Top 12 Running BackOctober 17, 2026

From the video

Downs is close to being a zero. I mean, obviously he's a borderline flex, but I mean, especially if we say get Alec Pierce back in a month or so. There are just more competing receivers here.

Borderline flex with limited upside; prefer over Bernard this week

Josh Downs is close to being a zero in fantasy value; described as borderline flex with competing receivers in the Indianapolis offense, especially with Alec Pierce expected back in about a month. However, he is recommended over Jerry Bernard in flex play this week due to a favorable matchup, and Tyler Warren's minor injury also provides additional opportunity for Downs.
