Colts' Josh Downs: Just misses century mark in OT win
Josh Downs caught 10 of 13 passes for 94 yards in Sunday's 26-23 overtime win over the Jaguars.The catches and targets were season highs for Downs, who led the Indianapolis Colts in receiving in Week 18, while the yardage total was his second-highest of 2024. The second-year wideout saw a modest increase on his rookie production, posting a 72-803-5 line on 107 targets over 14 games this year, and while he flashed his talent on a consistent basis, his ceiling was limited by the erratic quarterbacking of Anthony Richardson (back). Downs could have a true breakout in 2025, but it would likely require Richardson to take a big step forward as well.

Colts' Josh Downs: Targeted four times against Giants
Josh Downs caught three of four targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 45-33 loss to the Giants.Downs reeled in just three passes for the fourth straight game, as the 23-year-old wideout has failed to produce consistently for fantasy purposes. Downs played 47 of the Indianapolis Colts' 77 offensive snaps Sunday, operating in his No. 3 wide receiver role behind Michael Pittman and Alec Pierce. The North Carolina product will look to bounce back in the season finale when the Colts visit the Jaguars in Week 18.

Colts' Josh Downs: Productive in high-scoring victory
Josh Downs brought in three of four targets for 61 yards and a touchdown in the Indianapolis Colts' 38-30 win over the Titans on Sunday.On an afternoon when Anthony Richardson attempted just 11 passes and finished with a modest 131 yards through the air, Downs' reception, receiving yardage and target totals were all team highs. The second-year wideout also recorded his fifth touchdown grab of the season on a nifty 27-yard catch and run late in the second quarter on which he successfully tiptoed the right sideline on his way to the end zone. Downs' production, along with that of the rest of Indianapolis' pass catchers, remains hard to trust with Richardson under center, but the talented receiver still carries upside on paper against a vulnerable Giants secondary on the road in Week 17.

Colts' Josh Downs: Three catches in loss to Denver
Josh Downs (shoulder) caught three of eight targets for 32 yards in Sunday's 31-13 loss to the Broncos.Downs has just 59 receiving yards over his last two appearances, sandwiched around a one-game absence due to a shoulder injury. He had at least 60 yards in seven of his last eight games prior to this downturn, though much of that stretch came with Joe Flacco under center rather than the erratic Anthony Richardson, who threw for only 172 yards in the loss to Denver. Downs will look to get back on track in Week 16 against the Titans.

Colts' Josh Downs: Active versus Denver
Josh Downs (shoulder) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Broncos.Downs missed the Indianapolis Colts' win over the Patriots in Week 13, but following the team's subsequent bye he was able to practice fully Thursday and Friday before being listed as questionable to face Denver. With his Week 15 active status confirmed, Downs should reclaim his key role in a wideout corps that also features Michael Pittman and Alec Pierce, with Adonai Mitchell and Anthony Gould available to mix in. In 10 games thus far, Downs has compiled a 53/594/4 receiving line on 78 targets, a pace that keeps him on the fantasy radar for the NFL stretch run.

Colts' Josh Downs: In line to suit up Week 15
Josh Downs, who is questionable for Sunday's matchup against Denver due to a shoulder injury, is expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.Downs missed Indianapolis' win over New England in Week 13 due to a shoulder issue, but the Indianapolis Colts' Week 14 bye provided him extra time to recover. After ending this week with a pair of full practice sessions, he should be able to return to action against the Broncos in a critical contest for Indianapolis' playoff chances. Downs' presence would be a big boost to the Colts, as he typically serves as both the team's No. 2 wideout and top punt returner.

Colts' Josh Downs: Practices fully, listed as questionable
Josh Downs (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Broncos after practicing fully Thursday and Friday.Downs missed the Indianapolis Colts' win over the Patriots in Week 13, and following the team's bye he has a chance to contain his absence to one game. Though back-to back full practices bode well for his availability, James Boyd of The Athletic relays that head coach Shane Steichen -- who noted that Downs was "looking good" in practice this week -- fell short of declaring the wideout a go for Sunday's contest, saying "we'll see" on that topic. For his part, Downs said that his status for Indianapolis' 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff is a "coaches' decision. It's based on what they say. But yeah, I feel good."

Colts' Josh Downs: Turns in full practice
Josh Downs (shoulder) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.Downs missed the Indianapolis Colts' 25-24 win over the Patriots in Week 13 due to a right shoulder injury, but he seems to have benefited from a well-timed bye in Week 14. Though he was eased back into practice Wednesday in a limited fashion, Downs' ability to take every rep Thursday clears the way for him to play Sunday in Denver. Before missing the win over the Patriots, Downs saw his numbers take a bit of a hit in the previous two contests while Anthony Richardson took back the starting quarterback role from Joe Flacco. In those two games, Downs produced an 8-111-1 receiving line on 12 targets.

Colts' Josh Downs: Limited in return to practice
Josh Downs (shoulder) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.Following the Indianapolis Colts' Week 14 bye, Downs -- who sat out a Week 13 win over the Patriots with the shoulder injury -- is trending in the right direction by getting back on the practice field. The wideout has two more opportunities this week to upgrade to full practice participation, and if he can get to that point, he could approach Sunday's game against the Broncos minus an injury designation.

Colts' Josh Downs: In line to practice
Josh Downs (shoulder) is slated to practice Wednesday, Stephen Holder of ESPN.com reports.Downs -- who suffered a right shoulder injury in the Indianapolis Colts' Week 12 loss to the Lions -- missed a Week 13 win over the Patriots, but following the team's Week 14 bye, the wideout has progressed to the point that he'll work in some capacity Wednesday. The Colts' first Week 15 injury report will be released later Wednesday and will reveal whether Downs was a limited or full participant to kick off the team's prep for Sunday's game in Denver.
