Josh Downs Practicing With the Chiefs on Wednesday

Wednesday, November 11, 10:12 AM

Wide receiver Josh Downs took part in his first practice as a member of the Kansas City Chiefs on Wednesday, according to Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com. The Chiefs sent fourth- and fifth-round picks in 2027 to the Colts in exchange for Downs and a seventh-rounder on Tuesday. The 25-year-old will immediately give the Chiefs' passing game a boost alongside Rashee Rice, Xavier Worthy (hamstring), and tight end Travis Kelce. The move to a much more dynamic offense under head coach Andy Reid should be a massive boost for Downs' fantasy football value after he failed to break out in an elevated role in the first nine weeks of 2026 with the Colts. Even with Alec Pierce (heel) out for most of the year, Downs caught 33 passes for 354 yards (10.7 yards per reception) and only one touchdown in nine games before the trade to KC. He will receive a big quarterback upgrade from Daniel Jones to Patrick Mahomes, and he will look to get off to a great start in his debut with the Chiefs this Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons. Downs should be scooped up off the waiver wire in any league where he was dropped. RotoBaller has Downs ranked as the No. 41 WR for this week's game against the Falcons on the road.

Marvin Harrison Jr. News

Marvin Harrison Jr. Sits Out of Practice on Thursday

Thursday, November 12, 2:30 PM

Houston Texans wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. (hamstring) did not practice on Thursday, according to Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Sports. Harrison was limited in practice on Wednesday, so his status on Thursday is a downgrade and puts his status in doubt for the Week 10 game on Sunday against the hosting Cleveland Browns. Meanwhile, fellow receiver Tank Dell was upgraded to a full participant and will not have any restrictions this weekend in his third game back from a gruesome knee injury in 2024 that caused him to miss the entire 2025 campaign. If the 24-year-old Harrison cannot play against Cleveland, Dell, Kayshon Boutte, and Xavier Hutchinson would see more snaps behind WR1 Nico Collins a week after quarterback C.J. Stroud threw for five touchdowns against the Los Angeles Chargers. Harrison, the former fourth overall pick in 2024, continues to be a fantasy bust after being traded from the Arizona Cardinals to the Texans, with only six catches on 11 targets for 60 yards and one touchdown in three games since the trade. Now with an injury to deal with, fantasy managers should be avoiding Harrison in a flex spot against the Browns, even in deeper leagues. In seven games in 2026, he has only 11 receptions on 24 targets for 145 yards (13.2 yards per catch) and two touchdowns.
