Downs secured one of two targets for three yards during the Colts' 31-25 overtime win over the Falcons on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Downs took a clear back seat to Michael Pittman and Alec Pierce, as well as rookie tight end Tyler Warren, during Indianapolis' victory in Berlin, a disappointing outcome given that he had scored in three consecutive appearances prior to Week 10. The Colts are headed into a bye, so Downs' next chance to bounce back will come in Kansas City in Week 12. Even after a disappointing outing, Downs retains solid fantasy value, especially in PPR formats.

Downs recorded six receptions on nine targets for 57 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Steelers. He also lost a fumble.

EDGE Analysis

Downs saw a season-high nine targets, though that came on 50 passing attempts from Daniel Jones. Most of his production also came with the Colts down three scores in the final quarter, logging 35 yards and his touchdown in the final 13 minutes of game time. While that context is important, Downs has managed to find the end zone in three straight matchups.

EDGE Analysis

After missing Wednesday's session, Downs' return to a full practice a day later paves the way for him to be available Sunday against the Steelers. With a 29-256-2 receiving line on 37 targets through seven games thus far, Downs -- who has scored in each his last two appearances -- continues to provide fantasy utility while working within a wideout corps that also features Michael Pittman and Alec Pierce.

Downs (hip) was on the field for practice Thursday, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Downs sat out Wednesday's session, but his return to the field a day later bodes well for his Week 9 availability. The Colts will release their second practice report of the week later Thursday, when it will be known whether the wideout was a limited or full participant.

Downs (hip) didn't practice Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

In his return from a concussion in the Colts' Week 8 win over the Titans, Downs was on the field for 64 percent of the team's snaps on offense en route to catching all three of his targets for 39 yards and a touchdown. He now has two more chances to practice fully before the Colts' final injury report is posted head of Sunday's game against the Steelers. Also missing practice Wednesday was fellow wideout Anthony Gould (knee), which currently leaves Michael Pittman, Alec Pierce, Ashton Dulin and Adonai Mitchell as Indy's top healthy options at the position.

Downs (concussion) brought in all three of his targets for 39 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 38-14 rout of the Titans.

EDGE Analysis

Downs returned from a one-game layoff after clearing the league's concussion protocol to reclaim a starting role in Indianapolis' receiver rotation. The 23-year-old picked up where he left off when he scored his first touchdown of the season in his last appearance against the Cardinals in Week 6. Downs will attempt to hit pay dirt for the third time in as many appearances when the Colts visit the Steelers next Sunday.

Coach Shane Steichen said Friday that Downs has cleared concussion protocol and will play Sunday against the Titans, Amanda Foster of the Colts' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

The wideout was trending in the right direction after practicing fully Thursday, and with Downs past the concussion that sidelined him Week 7, he'll reclaim his role in a Colts' WR corps that also features Michael Pittman and Alec Pierce. In six games prior to his concussion, Downs compiled a 26-217-1 line on 34 targets, a pace that has given the 2023 third-rounder a degree of fantasy utility in deeper formats and makes him a lineup option for those in need of WR help with six teams on bye this week.

EDGE Analysis

After returning to a limited practice Wednesday, Downs -- who was inactive Week 7 -- upgraded to full participation a day later while shedding his non-contact jersey in the process, per James Boyd of The Athletic. Friday's injury report will reveal whether Downs carries an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Titans or is fully cleared to reclaim his role in a Colts WR corps that also features Michael Pittman and Alec Pierce.

Downs (concussion) was limited at practice Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Downs didn't practice last week before being ruled out ahead of this past Sunday's 38-24 win over the Chargers. With a return to practice, albeit in a limited capacity, the wideout is trending in the right direction as this weekend's game against the Titans approaches. Also making strides toward a return to action in Week 8 is fellow WR Ashton Dulin (chest), who practiced fully Wednesday.

Downs (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chargers.

EDGE Analysis

The same applies to Ashton Dulin (chest), a context that results in Michael Pittman and Alec Pierce being slated to lead the Colts' Week 7 WR corps. Adonai Mitchell is on track to be active and contribute Sunday, while Anthony Gould is available to mix in. Additionally, Laquon Treadwell and Coleman Owen represent possible practice-squad elevations.
