Expert Note
View More NotesJosh Downs is the WR33 in fantasy points per game, but he has produced much better than that fantasy ranking on a per-route basis. Downs has a 24.5% target share with 2.07 YPRR, four red zone targets, three deep targets, and a team-leading 31.5% first-read share. Downs has a stellar 0.133 first downs per route run. Downs should have another nice week against the Commanders, who since 2025 have allowed the second-most yards per target and the 12th-most fantasy points per opportunity to slot receivers. Downs will see a mild target bump with Keenan Allen out this week.Â
Player News
View More NewsJosh Downs caught 5-of-11 targets for 77 yards in a 19-17 win over Houston.
Fantasy Impact
Downs led the team in receiving yards and targets in the win over Houston. With Alec Pierce (heel) on injured reserve, fantasy managers should expect Downs to continue to see plenty of targets from Daniel Jones. Downs and the Colts will take on the Commanders in Week 4.
