Notes for Player Combination
	Josh Downs WR - IND Josh Downs WR - IND	Xavier Hutchinson WR - HOU Xavier Hutchinson WR - HOU
Expert
Andrew Erickson FantasyPros	Josh Downs is good. PFF's 20th-highest graded WR in 2025. And for the second straight year...the Colts slot WR was hyper-targeted at a 24% clip. That led all Colts WRs and TEs in 2025. And he creates separation. Per Fantasy Points Data...Downs ranked 20th in average separation score. Downs has been limited because of a lack of high-end route participation, but a late-season route bump could suggest more of Downs in a full-time role in 2026....after the team traded Michael Pittman Jr. to the Steelers.
