BALLER MOVE: Add
ROSTERED IN: 68% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: If Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Josh Downs is still on waivers in your league, you should first be thrilled that you have a chance to add a stud playmaker and, second, immediately put in a claim for him. He's a fantastic receiver, and his game is perfect for fantasy PPR scoring formats.
Is Josh Downs the Colts WR1?

While lead quarterback Anthony Richardson's inaccuracy will likely cap Downs' upside with his return to play, the second-year-pro receiver is an excellent separator and typically plays from the slot, providing him softer coverage against defensive backs with less experience and skill. He's also a great chain-mover.
He's extremely reliable at generating separation on short and intermediate routes, setting him up for a role as a target hog and semi-PPR-scam player (he actually does something with his receptions, don't worry). He's now had three straight games of 15+ PPR fantasy points. There's no reason he should be on waivers.
