IND WR Josh Downs - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 at Houston Texans

Perhaps Josh Downs misses Joe Flacco a lot. Downs caught just one pass on three targets for a measly three yards in Week 7. Downs was dealing with a toe injury, so there was that, but the fact remains this Colts offense is limited with Richardson at quarterback. That caps the fantasy ceiling for all the receivers, including Downs. The Texans are allowing the 4th-fewest passing yards. Downs is a deeper flex play this week.

IND WR Josh Downs - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 vs. Miami Dolphins

Josh Downs has been on a nice, steady pace since coming back from injury. He has at least 66 yards in each of his last three games with two touchdowns over that time. Of course, most of that has come with Joe Flacco as their starting quarterback. The Colts are expected to go back to Anthony Richardson this week, who has struggled at times in the passing game. Even with that and a tough matchup against Miami, Downs can still be considered a Flex option as long as he continues to see a healthy amount of targets -- he is averaging eight targets over the last three weeks.

IND WR Josh Downs - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 at Tennessee Titans

Josh Downs is on a nice little stretch, totaling 17 catches for 151 yards and a touchdown in the last two weeks. Of course, most of that was with Joe Flacco at quarterback. Michael Pittman could be limited with a back injury, which could open the door for Downs to be the main guy in the passing attack, at least for this week. Will Anthony Richardson be consistent enough to keep Downs' run going? We'll see, but if Downs is going to see more targets, he's worth a look as a WR3/Flex play even against a strong Titans pass defense.

IND WR Josh Downs - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 at Jacksonville Jaguars

Josh Downs looks healthy again. He caught 8-of-9 targets for 82 yards and a touchdown against the Steelers. He's in line for another strong day facing a Jaguars team allowing the second-most passing yards per game (272.8). Joe Flacco will get the start, which is still good news for Downs, who should be considered as a WR2 this week.

IND WR Josh Downs - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 vs. Las Vegas Raiders

Josh Downs was targeted nine times last week and caught six balls, but wound up with just 39 yards as the Colts were beaten badly by the Atlanta Falcons. Downs has 93 targets on the year, but he’s averaging just 44.7 yards per game and has found the end zone only twice all season. It’s hard to trust him, even if Michael Pittman is out again, and fantasy managers should leave him on waivers for championship week.

IND WR Josh Downs - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 at Atlanta Falcons

Josh Downs had three catches for 19 yards last week against the Steelers. He’s been wildly inconsistent and mostly unproductive from a fantasy perspective this season, but he gets enough targets to warrant consideration. With Michael Pittman likely out this week with a concussion, Downs could benefit from additional targets against the Falcons, who rank 15th in aFPA to opposing wide receivers. Still, considering him any more than a risky WR3 is too much to hope for during the fantasy playoffs.

IND WR Josh Downs - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 vs. Pittsburgh Steelers

Josh Downs caught three balls for 32 yards last week against the Bengals. He continues to be a part of the offense, but that hasn’t translated into significant fantasy production very often this season. He hasn’t found the end zone since late-October, and he hasn’t eclipsed 43 receiving yards in any of his last five games. Keep him on the bench this week against the Steelers.
