Josh Downs Week 3 Outlook - Texans at Colts

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Sep 24th 2026, 1:35pm EDT

Josh Downs is the WR36 in fantasy points per game while finishing as the WR20 in weekly scoring last week. Downs has a 21% target share with 1.91 YPRR, two red zone targets, one deep target, and a 29.5% first-read share. Downs has been a full-time player (85.1% route share) despite running 78.9% of his routes from the slot. Downs has a tougher matchup on the inside this week, but he's still a volume-based flex play this week. Houston has allowed the seventh-fewest yards per target and fantasy points per opportunity to slot receivers.
