Josh Downs News
Tuesday, March 31, 6:08 AM
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Josh Downs is a strong candidate to earn more targets during the 2026 season. The Colts traded away Michael Pittman Jr. earlier this month, bumping Downs up to No. 2 on the depth chart. He might not be as heavily involved as Alec Pierce, who just fetched a $114 million deal, but he still has a chance to surpass his previous career-high of 107 targets. He was just the WR51 in half-PPR leagues with Daniel Jones (Achilles) healthy, but he also missed two games during that window. On a more compelling note, he caught at least six passes in four of his first eight games last season, adding three touchdowns along the way. Pittman's 111 vacated targets have to go somewhere. Presumably, they'll mostly be split among Pierce, Downs, and Tyler Warren. We wouldn't be surprised to see Downs return to his 2024 form, which included a top-36 finish at the wide receiver position in fantasy football. He's an intriguing buy-low in dynasty leagues as he takes on a larger role and gets his quarterback back from injury.

Keon Coleman News
Sunday, March 22, 5:39 PM
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman found himself in the doghouse last year, and he continues to face an uphill battle to produce, even after the team made a change at head coach. Between production-related concerns and disciplinary issues, Coleman missed four games last year, finishing the season with a modest 38 catches for 404 yards and four touchdowns. He has yet to finish higher than WR60 in his two seasons in the league. The Bills fired head coach Sean McDermott and replaced him with offensive coordinator Joe Brady. Therefore, even though there's a new face in charge, it's still someone with a strong existing connection to Coleman. Furthermore, Coleman's fantasy managers should be concerned that the Bills went out and traded a second-round pick for DJ Moore. The 22-year-old is now buried on the depth chart behind Moore and Khalil Shakir, and he's not a lock to beat out Joshua Palmer or Tyrell Shavers, either. Coleman has minimal trade value in dynasty fantasy football, so he can be dropped in shallower leagues or merely held in deeper formats.
