Josh Downs Expects To Play Week 3

Colts WR Josh Downs expects to make his 2024 debut vs. the Bears this weekend, he said on Wednesday. Downs suffered his high-ankle sprain exactly six weeks ago, so he should be getting close to 100%. He practiced all last week, including a full workout on Friday.

2024 Fantasy Football Impact

We wouldn't use Downs in fantasy lineups in his first game back from a significant ankle injury, especially considering QB Anthony Richardson's struggles passing so far.

We're projecting Downs to cut mostly into WR Adonai Mitchell's snaps, but WR Alec Pierce could lose some playing time, too. Neither guy is a bankable Week 3 fantasy play.
