Josh Downs Start or Sit? Week 12 Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks, Fantasy Football Outlook (2024)

Josh Downs - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Josh Downs start or sit Week 12 advice. Fantasy football start 'em, sit 'em picks for Week 12 (2024). Should I start or sit Josh Downs for fantasy football?

BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues

POSITIONAL VALUE: WR2

ANALYSIS: Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Josh Downs should be viewed as a WR2 with upside heading into his Week 12 matchup against a weak Detroit Lions secondary.

Last weekend, with Anthony Richardson back under center, the sophomore wideout caught all five of his targets for 84 yards a score. This was his best fantasy output since Week 8.

Over his past four contests, Downs has averaged a solid 17.0 PPR points per game with 81.3 yards and 5.5 receptions per game. During this stretch, Downs faced two top-10 secondaries.

This weekend, he will face a Detroit secondary allowing the fourth-most PPR points to opposing wideouts this season. Given Anthony Richardson's solid bounce-back showing this past Sunday, Downs should be in a good position to succeed and should be started in all formats as a high-end WR2.
