Josh Downs Leads Colts With 72 Receiving Yards In Week 8
1 year agoIndianapolis Colts rookie wide receiver Josh Downs had another strong outing in the team's 38-27 loss to the New Orleans Saints. Downs reeled in seven of his nine targets for 72 yards, leading all Colts' pass-catchers in yards. Downs has received a substantial target share with quarterback Gardner Minshew at the helm and continues to emerge as a weekly fantasy starter. While much of Downs' fantasy production has come from his big-play ability, the rookie's longest reception on the day was only 17 yards. Fantasy managers can be encouraged to see that Downs' production isn't only limited to big plays and can hope for him to provide a safe floor every week. He'll look to continue his hot streak when the Colts face off against the Carolina Panthers in Week 9.
