ESPN analyst names Colts WR as late-round target in fantasy football

ESPN fantasy analyst Eric Moody named Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Josh Downs as a top late-round fantasy target.

Indianapolis Colts receiver Josh Downs had a disappointing 2025 season with only 566 receiving yards and four touchdowns, which has led to a decline in his fantasy stock. However, ESPN fantasy analyst Eric Moody believes Downs could rebound well this season and recommends drafting him in the late rounds. Downs' production was impacted by the departure of Pittman, who left 111 targets behind him.

With the addition of Alec Pierce and the return of Keenan Allen, Downs will have more opportunities to shine. The Colts have confidence in Downs and project him for 110 targets, making him a valuable late-round pick. Moody notes that Downs' average draft position (ADP) is the No. 44 receiver, and his value could be even better considering the target shortage and his potential to take advantage of one-on-one matchups.
