Josh Downs News
Tuesday, April 21, 12:20 PM
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Josh Downs had a bit of a down year in 2025, recording 58 receptions for 566 yards and four touchdowns on 88 targets across 16 games. The Colts' 2025 draft-day acquisition of tight end Tyler Warren and the emergence of wide receiver Alec Pierce (ankle) both limited Downs' role in his team's offense. After averaging 7.6 targets per game in 2024, Downs averaged just 5.5 targets per game in 2025. While Warren and Pierce both remain in Indianapolis, the Colts traded away veteran wideout Michael Pittman Jr., who earned 111 targets last season. In Pittman Jr.'s absence, Downs should be in a position to play a more prominent role in the Indianapolis passing game. If the Colts do not add another big-name pass-catcher in the upcoming NFL Draft, Downs' dynasty value will almost certainly be on the rise. As such, now could be the best time for dynasty managers to buy low on Downs ahead of a possible bounce-back season.

Cedric Tillman News
Friday, April 10, 5:24 AM
After a disappointing rookie season in 2023, Cleveland Browns wide receiver Cedric Tillman briefly flashed week-winning potential during a mid-season stretch of his sophomore campaign before a concussion ended his season. He started 2025 strong with touchdowns in each of his first two games, but he quickly faded into fantasy obscurity, failing to find the end zone again for the rest of the year and finishing his third season with only 270 yards on 21 catches. Already tied to a sub-optimal quarterback situation and having already failed to stand out amid one of the league's weakest receiver rooms, Tillman's outlook would already look bleak enough without the Browns being linked to the top receivers in the upcoming rookie class. With the target pecking order behind tight end Harold Fannin Jr. so unsorted, dynasty managers who can afford to keep Tillman rostered into the season should do so until his usage is revealed. However, should he continue on his career-long 4.0 fantasy points per game pace, he will no longer need to be treated as a hold.
