Josh Downs

Josh Downs made a notable impact in his rookie season with 68 receptions from 98 targets (17% target share), totaling 771 yards at an average of 11.3 yards per reception. Note that he was very unlucky when it came to scoring, with just two TDs. Only Drake London had more receiving yards and fewer than 3 TDs than Downs did in 2023. As a result, over 17 games, he amassed 123.1 fantasy points, averaging 7.2 points per game (WR46). But it should recognized that Downs' production fell off after he suffered a knee injury that lingered. Weeks 1-8, Downs led the Colts in yards per route run (2.0), averaging 9.9 points per game with a 19% target share.

Josh Downs caught 3-of-3 targets for 48 yards in the Colts’ 23-19 loss to Houston.

Fantasy Impact

Downs had the longest receiving play of the day for the Colts, logging a 28-yard reception. The rookie wide receiver closes out his first season with over 700 receiving yards and should be a key component of the Colts’ offense in the 2024 season.
