In an offense that primarily features the rushing attack and has a target hog in Michael Pittman Jr., it's hard for a secondary receiver to carve out a fantasy-relevant role.
Regardless, Josh Downs' rookie season should be regarded as a success. He established himself as the Colts' primary slot receiver, a role he will reprise in 2024. He was a full-time player for the vast majority of the season and was able to earn his fair share of targets with 6-plus in eight games.
Downs showed flashes of true talent in his rookie campaign. At a WR62 price tag, he is an interesting late-round swing given his full-time role and opportunity to grow as a talent. However, expectations should be realistic. Flex-level production would be a big win for Downs.

 Joe Flacco will start for Indianapolis in Week 18
Anthony Richardson ruled Out with back injury
By: Mike Krueger | Fri Jan 3, 1:08 pm
|  | Colts ruled out QB Anthony Richardson for Sunday’s regular-season finale vs. the Jaguars due to his back injury. One final start this season for Colts QB Joe Flacco. (Adam Schefter on X)
FFToday's Take: Flacco will once again give some fantasy life to wide receivers Josh Downs and Michael Pittman Jr. Last week, Pittman finished with a 9-109-1 line on 10 targets against the Giants. The Jaguars have given up the 4th most fantasy points to QBs, and the 7th most fantasy points to wide receivers in half-PPR leagues.
| Anthony Richardson misses all week, Questionable
Back and Foot injuries
By: Mike Krueger | Fri Dec 27, 1:06 pm
| | Colts HC Shane Steichen: QB Anthony Richardson (back/foot) questionable vs. Giants. 'We'll see how next 48 hours go.' Did not practice this week. (Mike Chappell on X)
FFToday's Take: Sounds like Richardson is truly questionable to play this week against the Giants. If he sits, Joe Flacco would get the start which would be a boost for the fantasy values of Josh Downs and Michael Pittman Jr. We should get more info on Richardson's status over the weekend.
