Who Should I Start? Nelson Agholor or Josh Downs

Thursday, November 21, 6:07 PM

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Nelson Agholor (illness) was listed as a non-participant for the team's first practice of the week on Thursday. It's worth watching, but with the Ravens playing on Monday night in Week 12 against the Los Angeles Chargers, Agholor should be feeling better by then. We'll have a better idea of the 31-year-old's status by the time the Ravens release their final injury report for the week on Saturday. Even if Agholor is active, though, fantasy managers should have plenty of better options to throw into a flex spot in Week 12. Agholor didn't come down with his only target in the Week 11 loss to the division-rival Pittsburgh Steelers and has only 13 receptions on 26 targets for 205 yards and two touchdowns in 11 games in his second year in Baltimore.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Josh Downs reeled in all five of his targets for 84 yards and a touchdown in a 28-27 win over the Jets on Sunday. With Anthony Richardson showing a bit more accuracy this week, Downs maintained his status as the Colts' most reliable pass catcher, leading Indy's receiving corps in yardage while scoring the only offensive touchdown outside of Richardson's two rushing scores. It was the third straight game with at least five catches for the 23-year-old and sixth time in nine games. The former third-round draft pick will face off with the Lions in Week 12, a defense that is easier to throw on than run against, and could be playing from behind all day which should afford him plenty of opportunities again.
