Colts' Josh Downs: Catches TD from Rivers
Josh Downs caught three of five targets for 13 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 18-16 loss to the Seahawks.Downs caught Philip Rivers' first touchdown pass following a five-year layoff on an eight-yard connection in the second quarter. Outside of scoring the only touchdown for either team, Downs had another quiet performance as Rivers threw for only 120 yards. Following Daniel Jones' season-ending Achilles injury, the Indianapolis Colts' passing game has lost most of its fantasy appeal heading into a MNF home game against the 49ers on Dec. 22.

Colts' Josh Downs: Catches four passes vs. JAX
Josh Downs caught four of five targets for 23 yards during the Indianapolis Colts' 36-19 loss to the Jaguars on Sunday.Downs' four catches were his most since Week 9 against the Steelers, and he finished third in both catches and receiving yards behind Alec Pierce (five catches for 80 yards) and Michael Pittman (nine catches for 79 yards). Downs has just eight receptions (on 17 targets) over his last three games, and his fantasy floor figures to be lower for the rest of the season after Daniel Jones tore his right Achilles during the first quarter of Sunday's loss. With Anthony Richardson (eye) on injured reserve and no timeline for a return, the Colts will turn to rookie sixth-rounder Riley Leonard for the home stretch of the 2025 regular season, starting with a Week 15 road clash against the Seahawks on Sunday, Dec. 14.

Colts' Josh Downs: Returns to full practice
Josh Downs (hip/knee) practiced fully Thursday.Downs was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's practice estimate, but his return to a full session a day later paves the way for the wideout to be available Sunday against the Jaguars. He's caught two of his six targets (for a combined total of 54 yards) in each of his last two games and overall has recorded a 40-370-3 line on 60 targets in 11 games to date, a rate of production that gives him a degree of fantasy utility in an Indy passing offense that also features fellow WRs Alec Pierce and Michael Pittman and TE Tyler Warren.

Colts' Josh Downs: Two receptions in loss
Josh Downs caught two of six targets for 44 yards in Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Texans.Downs was limited to two or fewer catches for a third straight week, though he did lead the team in targets versus Houston. The wide receiver has now reeled in five of 14 targets for 57 yards without finding the end zone over the last three games. Downs hasn't exceeded 57 receiving yards in any of the 11 contests he's played in this year, limiting his ceiling greatly from a fantasy perspective.

Colts' Josh Downs: Falls back to earth in Week 10
Josh Downs secured one of two targets for three yards during the Indianapolis Colts' 31-25 overtime win over the Falcons on Sunday.Downs took a clear back seat to Michael Pittman and Alec Pierce, as well as rookie tight end Tyler Warren, during Indianapolis' victory in Berlin, a disappointing outcome given that he had scored in three consecutive appearances prior to Week 10. The Colts are headed into a bye, so Downs' next chance to bounce back will come in Kansas City in Week 12.
