Josh DownsWR
Downs has the highest percentage of snaps from slot, targets from slot, and routes from three-WR sets among Colts receivers. When on field 70%+ of snaps, he averages over 13 career PPR PPG and draws significant red zone volume with Daniel Jones. However, historically he hasn't played outside even without Michael Pittman Jr., as Indianapolis favored receivers like Adonai Mitchell or D.J. Montgomery. New offense without last season's outside receiving talent requires positive camp reports on his playing time.
