The Colts have ruled WR Michael Pittman Jr. out for Sunday's game against the Bills. He's officially listed with back and finger injuries and has missed practice all week. The back issue seems to be what's keeping him out this week, though. Pittman returned to last week's game after dislocating the finger.
Colts WR Josh Downs (toe, groin) returned to a full practice on Thursday. He'll play vs. the Texans this weekend but is a shaky fantasy starter with QB Anthony Richardson under center. Downs has posted 3-22-0 and 1-3-0 receiving lines in two games with Richardson this season.
Colts WR Josh Downs missed Wednesday's practice and is on the injury report with toe and groin issues. He's been playing through the toe for a couple of weeks now, but the groin is new. We'll see if Downs gets back on the field tomorrow, although he's not a recommended Week 8 fantasy starter. He caught just one of three targets for three yards with Anthony Richardson back under center last week.
Colts WRs Josh Downs (toe), Michael Pittman (back), and Alec Pierce (shoulder) are active for today’s game vs. the Dolphins. We’re expecting them to play their usual roles as the team’s top three WRs. But their projections take significant hits with QB Anthony Richardson back at the helm. See where the Colts land in the Week 7 WR Rankings.
Colts WRs Josh Downs (toe), Michael Pittman (back), and Alec Pierce (shoulder) are all expected to play vs. the Dolphins today, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. All three guys are listed as questionable. With Anthony Richardson back under center, no Colt WR sits inside the top 40 of the Week 7 WR Rankings.
Colts WRs Josh Downs (toe), Michael Pittman (back), and Alec Pierce (shoulder) are questionable for this weekend's game against the Dolphins. Downs played through his toe issue last week and got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday. He should be fine. Pittman was a full-go on Thursday but did not practice on Wednesday or Friday. His status is a bit murkier, but we're projecting him to play. Pierce should also be available after putting in a full practice on Friday. All three guys are less appealing in fantasy lineups this week with the return of QB Anthony Richardson.
Colts QB Anthony Richardson (oblique) will start this weekend's game vs. the Dolphins, HC Shane Steichen confirmed on Friday. Richardson put in a full week of practice and should be nearing 100% at this point. Consider him a risk/reward QB1 play against a Dolphins squad that ranks 16th in pass defense DVOA and 31st in run defense DVOA. Richardson's return is a significant downgrade for WRs Josh Downs and Michael Pittman.
Colts WRs Michael Pittman (back) and Josh Downs (toe) were held out of Wednesday's practice. Both guys played through their respective injuries last week and should be available for Sunday's game vs. the Dolphins. But we'll keep an eye on them the rest of the week.
Colts QB Anthony Richardson (oblique) will start Sunday's game against the Dolphins "unless there's a setback," HC Shane Steichen said Monday. Richardson was surprisingly inactive for the Week 6 win over the Titans, despite practicing all week. Perhaps QB Joe Flacco's middling performance in that one was enough to push Richardson back into the starting lineup. He'll return to a plus matchup against a Dolphins defense sitting 24th in DVOA. But Richardson will be a risky QB1 play based on what we've seen from him so far this season. His return is also bad news for WRs Josh Downs and Michael Pittman.
Colts WR Josh Downs caught 7 of 9 targets for 66 yards and a TD. With QB Joe Flacco getting the start, Downs put up another solid fantasy performance.
Colts WR Josh Downs (toe) is active for today’s game vs. the Titans. He only practiced on Friday, so it’s likely that Downs won’t be at 100% for this one. But he's in the WR3 mix with QB Joe Flacco getting the start.
Colts QB Joe Flacco will start today's game vs. the Titans, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports. QB Anthony Richardson (oblique) will serve as the emergency third QB. Flacco played well in the Week 5 loss to the Jaguars, throwing for 359 yards and three scores. Today's matchup is tougher, so Flacco is not a recommended QB1 play. But he's good news for WRs Josh Downs and Michael Pittman.
ESPN's Stephen Holder reports that Colts WRs Michael Pittman (back) and Josh Downs (toe) are expected to play against the Titans on Sunday. Both guys got in just limited practices on Friday, so it's safe to assume they won't be at 100% for this one. And, with QB Anthony Richardson expected back under center, Pittman and Downs land outside the top 35 WRs in our Week 6 Rankings.
Colts WR Josh Downs (toe) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Titans. After missing the first two practices of the week, Downs was a full participant on Friday and looked good, according to HC Shane Steichen. That puts him on track to play on Sunday, although the toe issue adds some risk.
Colts WR Josh Downs (toe) remained sidelined for Thursday's practice. He's seemingly in legitimate danger of missing this weekend's game vs. the Titans. That'd leave Indianapolis without its top two WRs in Downs and Michael Pittman. Alec Pierce, Adonai Mitchell, and Ashton Dulin would be left as the team's top three WRs. We'll update Downs' status again tomorrow.
Colts WR Michael Pittman is expected to miss "multiple weeks" with a back injury, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Pittman didn't practice on Wednesday, so this injury presumably occurred in the Week 5 loss to the Jaguars. We'll look for more details on the injury and Pittman's timetable for return, but Schefter adds that, "injured reserve is an option."
Colts QB Anthony Richardson (oblique) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Jaguars. QB Joe Flacco starts in his place. The 39-year-old threw for 168 yards with two TDs and 0 INTs in relief of Richardson last week. And he averaged 323 yards and 2.6 TDs per game across five starts for the Browns last year. Flacco sits well into QB2 range in the Week 5 Rankings, but he’s a significant upgrade for Colts pass catchers.
