3 days agoIndianapolis Colts wide receiver Josh Downs (shoulder) returned from injury on Sunday but was only able to contain three of his eight targets for 32 scoreless yards in Sunday’s 31-13 loss to the Broncos. With quarterback Anthony Richardson completing less than 50% of his passes in the contest, no receiver had a big day in this offense. The eight targets were second only to Michael Pittman Jr.’s nine, but it was at least an encouraging sign that there could be more bountiful fantasy days ahead if Richardson can fix the accuracy issue. With the fantasy football playoffs upon us, however, there isn’t much time to fix that, and the 23-year-old is likely too risky to play in most leagues. The Titans, next week’s opponent, are middle of the pack among wide receivers in fantasy points allowed, allowing just 14 catches for 182 yards to Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, but Downs will be a tricky WR option given his environment .—Jarod Rupp – RotoBaller
