Who Should I Start? Chris Conley or Josh Downs

Sunday, December 1, 7:10 PM

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Chris Conley (knee) will play on Sunday night in Buffalo. The wideout was limited in practice all week, resulting in a questionable designation. With Brandon Aiyuk (knee) sidelined, others had a chance to step up. However, Conley hasn't done anything of relevance this season, catching only one pass (seven targets) for four yards. Without question, he shouldn't be starting in any fantasy lineup. In fact, Conley shouldn't even be on fantasy rosters.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Josh Downs returned from a one-game absence after the Colts' bye week in Week 15, only to produce three catches for 32 yards. While the eight looks the 23-year-old drew were encouraging, Anthony Richardson's sub-50% completion rate continues to limit Indy's receivers. On top of that, the second-year quarterback has four rushing touchdowns on the ground over the last four weeks compared to just three through the air (along with four INTs), further capping their upside. In addition, the Colts take on the Titans in Week 16, a defense that has allowed the fifth-fewest fantasy points to opposing receivers on the season. Michael Pittman Jr. has been more productive over the last four weeks, but Alec Pierce will be out on Sunday as he recovers from a concussion, so Downs could benefit from a few extra looks. The former third-round pick is shaping up to be a WR4 this week in a contest that features one of the lower expected totals on the board.
