Who Should I Start? Josh Downs or Travis Hunter

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Josh Downs caught just two of his six targets for 10 yards in Sunday's overtime loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 12. Downs was trending up in fantasy football after recording touchdown grabs in three straight games, but the 24-year-old has had back-to-back duds with three total receptions (eight targets) for just 13 yards the last two games. He has taken a back seat in the Colts' passing game behind receiver Michael Pittman Jr. and rookie tight end Tyler Warren. While the former third-rounder is still useful depth in most fantasy formats, he'll be hard to trust going into a difficult Week 13 matchup against the league's top defense in the Houston Texans. Downs is up to 38 receptions for 326 yards and three touchdowns on 54 targets in 10 games in 2025 in his third year in the NFL.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver/defensive back Travis Hunter (knee) unfortunately saw his rookie campaign come to an early end. Hunter was only able to play in seven games before suffering a season-ending knee injury that required surgery. There was speculation that Hunter might make the switch to one position following this injury. So far, the Jags have stated they plan to continue using Hunter as a two-way player. His injury occurred during a non-contact play during practice, so it doesn't sound like it had anything to do with the wear-and-tear of playing two positions. He finished his rookie season with 28 receptions for 298 yards and one touchdown.
