Josh Downs News
Thursday, August 6, 11:09 AM
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Josh Downs has been one of the stars of training camp as the team prepares to feature him more heavily in 2026, according to ESPN. Downs caught 58 passes for a career-low 566 yards and four touchdowns last season after averaging 103 targets and 787 receiving yards over his first two years. Michael Pittman Jr.'s departure has opened a much larger opportunity, and the Colts are also giving Downs more work outside after using him primarily in the slot throughout his career. Head coach Shane Steichen said Downs can now play both spots and expects his role to grow this season. Tyler Warren and Alec Pierce will still command plenty of attention, but Indianapolis appears determined to get Downs back to being a central part of the passing game. If the expanded usage carries into the regular season, he has a strong chance to climb back toward the 100-target range and regain consistent value in PPR leagues.

Keon Coleman News
Tuesday, August 4, 10:07 AM
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman continued his strong start to training camp during Tuesday's one-on-one period. Rookie Watch reported that Coleman won all four of his reps against cornerback Maxwell Hairston, again using his size and catch radius to make plays at the catch point. The third-year receiver is trying to bounce back after finishing 2025 with 38 receptions for 404 yards and four touchdowns in 13 games. Buffalo added DJ Moore to lead the outside passing game, while Khalil Shakir remains an established target for Josh Allen, so Coleman still has work to do before earning a dependable weekly role. The Bills have praised his improved preparation and understanding of the offense, and his recent camp performances are encouraging. Still, one-on-one drills favor receivers and do not settle the target hierarchy. Coleman is gaining momentum, but fantasy managers should wait to see the progress carry into team periods and preseason games.
