Josh Downs News
Sunday, August 2, 5:13 AM
In what was a productive day for the Indianapolis Colts offense on Saturday, wide receiver Josh Downs stood out as a favorite target for quarterback Daniel Jones. Downs caught four passes and a touchdown during competitive 11-on-11 work, and was consistently open while running crisp routes and standing out from the rest of the receiver group, according to beat reporter Andrew Moore. With Alec Pierce still not practicing after undergoing offseason ankle surgery, Downs ran with Ashton Dulin and Laquon Treadwell in three-receiver sets, and as the only true lock from that trio to see regular work on game days, the fourth-year veteran took advantage of the opportunity to further develop his chemistry with Jones. The early days of camp indicate that Downs will see an expanded role in 2026, making him one of the better potential values in the middle rounds of drafts, and he is RotoBaller's WR42.

KC Concepcion News
Wednesday, August 5, 12:13 PM
The Cleveland Browns aren't in full pads on Wednesday, but rookie wide receiver KC Concepcion (shoulder) is back practicing in team drills, according to Scott Petrak of The Chronicle Telegram. Concepcion took a hard fall on his shoulder during Monday's practice, but he returned to individual drills on Tuesday and is quickly working his way back. The 21-year-old should be back to full health soon. After being taken 24th overall in April's NFL draft from Texas A&M, Concepcion and fellow rookie Denzel Boston will have every opportunity to unseat veteran Jerry Jeudy as the Browns' new No. 1 wideout in 2026. The opportunity alone makes Concepcion worth considering as a late-round flier in upcoming fantasy drafts, although the Browns' less-than-ideal QB competition between Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders should have everyone tempering expectations for the 6-foot, 190-pounder. RotoBaller has Concepcion ranked as the No. 48 fantasy WR heading into his first year in the league after he caught 61 passes for 919 yards and an SEC-high nine touchdowns in 13 games for the Aggies in 2025.
