Josh Downs delivered one of the most encouraging performances of Week 3 for a borderline WR3, even if his final receiving numbers weren't spectacular. Downs caught five of his 11 targets for 77 yards, but his 172 air yards ranked third among all wide receivers, trailing only Davante Adams and Matthew Golden. Downs drew 31.4% of Indianapolis' targets and a staggering 62.3% of the team's air yards, the second-highest total of the entire slate. He finished with 95 more air yards than actual receiving yards... With Alec Pierce out at least 3-4 more games, Downs is a must-start in fantasy football.
