2025 Outlook

Depth Chart

Rather quietly, Josh Downs had a slightly more productive 2024 season than Pittman. Despite playing two fewer games, Downs finished with more receptions (72 to 69) and more receiving TDs (5 to 3) than Pittman. Much of that appeared to be that Downs was more in sync with Joe Flacco than with Richardson. With the pocket-passing Flacco, Downs had nearly a 26% target share while averaging 66 receiving yards per game. That's compared to 21% target share and 48 receiving yards per game with Richardson at the helm.

That recent history suggests Downs is best situated to produce if Jones gets the nod over Richardson. While the QB position is being determined, Downs should be viewed -- like Pittman -- as a low-end WR3/flex option with upside on any given week.

News From The Past 90 Days

Colts announce Daniel Jones as starting QB for Week 1
"Not a short-term arrangement"
By: Mike Krueger | Tue Aug 19, 10:50 am

A QB decision in Indy: Colts named Daniel Jones as their starting quarterback for their Sept. 7 regular-season opener vs. the Miami Dolphins, per @HolderStephen and me. Colts HC Shane Steichen is not planning for this to be a short-term arrangement for Daniel Jones. “He's the starting QB for the season,” Steichen told reporters today. “I don’t want to have a short leash on that.” (Adam Schefter on X)

FFToday's Take: Anthony Richardson failed to impress the coaches enough that they made a point of saying this is Jones' job for the season. Regardless, it wouldn't be a surprise to see Richardson under center at some point in 2025. This move is good sign for the fantasy values of Michael Pittman Jr. and Josh Downs (hamstring). Pittman and Downs are hovering around the WR45 range in Half-PPR leagues.
