Indianapolis Colts: Josh Downs, WR l (By James Boyd)


Downs is already an established receiver who’s shown that he can be a play-maker in the NFL ...... however, the 2023 3rd-round pick is coming off of a career-low 566 receiving yards in 2025. The departures of wideouts AD Mitchell and Michael Pittman Jr, who were traded to the New York Jets and the Pittsburgh Steelers respectively, should open up more opportunities for Downs as Indianapolis’s No. 2 receiver behind the speedy and newly-paid Alec Pierce. Downs is entering a contract year, so it would behoove him to have a career year in 2026 if he plans on cashing in next off-season.
