Yahoo Fantasy Football on Josh Downs
From the article
We are riding the 'never wrong, just early' train on Josh Downs. The Colts receiver is a talented player who was limited by playing time last year. He played on a career-low 55.1% of the Colts snaps and only ran a route on 67% when he was healthy. That won't be the case with the state of their receiver room in the wake of the Michael Pittman Jr. trade. Buy the dip on one of the top separators in the NFL at a depressed ADP.
STACKED’s take
Downs' elite separation and 22nd-ranked TPRT support buying the dip at depressed ADP.
The source is riding the 'never wrong, just early' train on Josh Downs; the Colts receiver is talented but was limited by playing time in 2025, playing on a career-low 55.1% of snaps and running routes on 67% when healthy. That won't be the case with the state of the Colts receiver room following the Michael Pittman Jr. trade. The source says to buy the dip on one of the top separators in the NFL at a depressed ADP. With Alec Pierce nursing an ankle injury, there's a chance Downs leads the receiver room in catches and yards, if not the team outright. When on the field, he gets the ball; he ranks 22nd in targets per route run (23.9%) since entering the league, just behind his now-former teammate Pittman.
