Josh Downs Fantasy Football Outlook (2025)

By Andrew Erickson (FantasyPros), Tue, May 6th 2025, 3:44pm EDT

When Josh Downs played with a more capable passer in Joe Flacco during the 2024 season, his production skyrocketed.
With Flacco at QB (eight starts), the Colts' slot WR went over his receiving yards prop in 88% of his games. 60-plus receiving yards in seven of the eight games. In the seven true games Flacco started, Downs earned a 26% target share, 9.3 targets per game, and 66.4 receiving yards per game.
If the Colts can get any semblance of average QB play between Daniel Jones and Anthony Richardson, Downs will be a bargain in 2025 fantasy drafts.
