Josh Downs in Line for Expanded Role in Indianapolis
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Josh Downs saw his production drop across the board in 2025, as he recorded 58 receptions for 566 yards and four touchdowns on 88 targets across 16 games. After averaging 7.6 targets per game in 2024, Downs earned just 5.5 targets per game last season. The Colts addition of 2025 first-round tight end Tyler Warren played a big role in Downs' diminished role, as Warren soaked up many of the short and intermediate-area targets in the team's offense. While Warren's role in the passing game will likely only grow in 2026, Downs' production outlook is still trending upward following Indianapolis' offseason trade of wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. Outside of Alec Pierce, who is best known for his work as a downfield threat, Downs profiles as the only other proven wideout in Indianapolis. Due to his expected uptick in target volume, Downs has clear buy-low appeal for dynasty managers.
