Before spraining his knee in Week 9, Downs was on his way to a wonderful rookie season. In Weeks 1-8, he was the WR36 in fantasy points per game with an 18.9% target share and 2.0 yards per route run (per Fantasy Points Data). Downs has more target competition this year, with the team adding Adonai Mitchell, who is a sizable upgrade over Alec Pierce. Indy will likely be a middle-of-the-road passing rate team that looks to run the ball once in the red zone. Downs' upside is likely capped as a WR5 in fantasy this season.

Josh Downs had a promising rookie season with the Colts, showcasing his skills with 68 receptions and 771 receiving yards. Despite his strong performance, Downs struggled to find the end zone, recording only two touchdowns. However, his production dipped after sustaining a knee injury, impacting his performance in the latter part of the season. Nonetheless, Downs displayed potential from Weeks 1-8, leading the Colts in yards per route run and maintaining a solid 19% target share.
