BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team PPR Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3
ANALYSIS: With starting wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. set to miss time with a back injury, Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Josh Downs is set to serve as the team's new top receiver ahead of this week's divisional meeting with the Tennessee Titans.
Downs is dealing with a toe injury of his own though, putting his status for Week 6 in some doubt. He has missed the team's last two practices.

If Downs plays, he has a shot to be a strong WR3 play with upside, as he has 21 targets and 17 receptions over the past two games. After missing the first two weeks of the season, Downs is showcasing his skill.
If Downs ends up missing the game, Alec Pierce becomes a strong sleeper option while Adonai Mitchell would have some deep-league appeal.
