Josh Downs Week 17 Outlook - Jaguars at Colts

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Sat, Dec 27th 2025, 9:35am EST

With Philip Rivers, Indy has increased its usage of 11 personnel as Downs has seen an 83.3% route share while soaking up a 22.2% target share and 26.5% first-read share while producing 39 receiving yards per game and 1.42 yards per route run. In those two games, Downs has had one touchdown, one red zone target, and three deep targets. Downs is a low-end flex play this week with a tough matchup. Since Week 13, Jacksonville has allowed the sixth-fewest PPR points per target and the ninth-lowest passer rating when targeted to slot receivers.
