Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen is unsure if wide receiver Josh Downs (shoulder) will be ready to roll for a Week 15 showdown against the Denver Broncos after the bye in Week 14. Downs injured his shoulder in the Week 12 loss to the Buffalo Bills and was unable to play in the Week 13 win over the New England Patriots on Sunday. It's telling that the Colts are unsure if Downs will be ready, even with the benefit of a bye this week. It was another low-volume passing game for quarterback Anthony Richardson against New England, as he attempted only 24 passes. Michael Pittman Jr. unsurprisingly led the team with only 42 receiving yards. Alec Pierce had only two catches for 16 yards but did find the end zone for a crucial TD, while rookie Adonai Mitchell couldn't convert on his two targets. Downs should be stashed in most fantasy leagues, but he might not be able to return until Week 16 against the division-rival Tennessee Titans.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce (foot), who had missed two practices earlier in the week, was cleared to suit up and wound up playing a pivotal role in the Colts' 25-24 win over the Patriots on Sunday. While two catches for 16 yards isn't noteworthy, one of those catches was a touchdown reception that came with 12 seconds left in the game that put the Colts in position to win the game on a successful two-point conversion by quarterback Anthony Richardson on the following play. Pierce did receive six targets in the game, which was second-most behind Michael Pittman Jr.'s seven, and was a slight uptick in his usual usage with Josh Downs (shoulder) missing the contest due to injury. When the Colts come out of their bye, expect Pierce's involvement to take a slight step back if Downs returns, although he's always a threat to break off a couple of big chunk plays per game using his speed.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Adonai Mitchell was expected to see an uptick in usage with the absence of teammate Josh Downs (shoulder), however, the rookie wideout saw one fewer target (two) than he saw the week before and was held without a catch for the first time since Week 4 in Sunday's 25-24 win over the Patriots. Granted, Anthony Richardson completed only 12 passes on the day, but it was a disappointing showing in the absence of Downs and with Alec Pierce (foot) a little banged up coming into the game. The Colts have a bye in Week 14 and will face a tough Denver pass defense in Week 15. Regardless of whether or not Downs will be ready by then, Mitchell will be hard to trust for fantasy in that matchup and with Richardson's 47.4% completion rate.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. led the team in targets, catches, and receiving yards on Sunday, but with quarterback Anthony Richardson completing just 12 passes, it didn't amount to much. The 27-year-old caught five of seven targets for 42 scoreless yards, although the Colts were able to pull off a 25-24 victory anyway thanks to the legs of Jonathan Taylor and the aforementioned Richardson. Since Richardson was reinserted as the starting quarterback, Pittman Jr. has seemingly taken over as the preferred option in the passing game, although he had less competition on Sunday with Josh Downs out with an injury. The former second-round draft pick has at least seven targets and five catches in the last three games, however, it will be hard to exceed that output when the Colts come out of their by in Week 15 as they will face a stout Denver pass defense on the road.

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor rushed 25 times for 96 yards and caught his lone target for a seven-yard touchdown in Sunday's 25-24 win over the Patriots. After posting duds in three of his last four games, the 25-year-old got back on track in Week 14, eclipsing 100 total yards for the fifth time this season and scoring for the first time since Week 8. It was encouraging to see that he could still log a full workload even with QB Anthony Richardson rushing nine times in the contest as well, and his lone pass target was one more than he had last week. The former second-round draft pick may get a chance to keep rolling when they take on a strong Denver pass defense after they come out of the bye, but the Broncos are allowing just 3.8 yards per rush, fourth-lowest in the NFL, so it could be a challenge for the Indy offense no matter which way they attempt to attack.
