Josh Downs News
Saturday, May 30, 5:02 PM
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Josh Downs has been trending up in dynasty leagues. The 24-year-old receiver's dynasty stock has benefitted from the Colts' decision to trade Michael Pittman Jr., which should leave Downs in line to start alongside Alec Pierce. While Pierce projects as the Colts' top receiver after his big payday, Downs has the potential to carve out a fantasy-relevant role. This offense is good enough to support two fantasy-relevant receivers for several years to come, especially as long as Daniel Jones is under center. Downs has ranked between WR35 and WR44 in each of his three NFL seasons, but we wouldn't be surprised to see him take a big step forward and post the best fantasy finish of his career in 2026. Downs set a new career low in catches, yards, and fantasy points last year, softening his price tag in dynasty leagues. Managers should take advantage of this discount and send out trade offers for the UNC product before his potential Year 4 breakout.

Marvin Mims Jr. News
Sunday, May 3, 11:59 AM
After his encouraging close to the 2024 season, Denver Broncos wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. was one of the buzzier names in fantasy circles entering 2025. However, the 24-year-old remained siloed to a limited role in his team's offense, recording just 37 receptions for 322 yards and one touchdown on 51 targets across 15 games. Heading into 2026, Mims Jr. now appears to be buried on the Broncos wide receiver depth chart. Denver acquired star wideout Jaylen Waddle from the Miami Dolphins early in the offseason, adding to a deep group of wideouts that also includes Courtland Sutton, Troy Franklin, and Pat Bryant. While Mims Jr.'s spot on the Broncos roster is likely safe due to his ability to contribute as a returner and a big-play gadget piece, his path to fantasy relevance may require a change in scenery. In dynasty formats, Mims Jr.'s stock is fading entering 2026.
