Josh Downs A Risky Play In Week 16

Josh Downs A Risky Play In Week 16

11 months ago

Indianapolis Colts rookie wide receiver Josh Downs is coming off a Week 15 win where he caught all three of his targets for just 19 yards through the air. Downs has served as a helpful target for quarterback Gardner Minshew, but his recent form from a fantasy perspective doesn't instill much confidence in fantasy managers for his Week 16 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. The Falcons have allowed the fourth-least fantasy points to opposing receivers, and the sixth-least fantasy points to opposing slot receivers, where the rookie plays the majority of his snaps. Given his recent form, and a tough matchup, fantasy managers should likely keep the former Tar Heel on the bench this week as a WR4/5 option.
