Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Demarcus Robinson is emerging as the team's No. 3 option behind Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com. The veteran pass-catcher entered camp in a competition with Tutu Atwell for the WR3 role, but Robinson has been "emerging" as the better option so far. This isn't necessarily a surprise given that Robinson edged out Atwell in production at times last year. The 29-year-old put together a solid 2023 campaign, catching 26 passes for 371 yards and four touchdowns. His experience and expected volume could make him a worthwhile option in deeper fantasy leagues this year.

Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen has officially ruled wide receiver Josh Downs (ankle) out for the Week 1 regular season contest on Sunday versus the division-rival Houston Texans. Things had been trending this way all week as Downs was unable to practice due to a high-ankle sprain that he suffered in August. The 23-year-old worked off to the side in practices this week, though, and appears to be getting close to a return, so it's possible he may be able to make his 2024 debut in Week 2 at Lambeau Field against the Green Bay Packers. With Downs officially out this weekend, it will make both rookie Adonai Mitchell and Alec Pierce a bit more attractive as DFS sleepers behind WR1 Michael Pittman Jr. The 21-year-old Mitchell was selected with the 52nd overall pick back in April in the second round. He has the ability to line up inside or outside and should give fantasy managers a bit more upside than Pierce.
