Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Josh Downs may be headed for the most awe-inspiring season of his NFL career.
PFF named Downs the Colts' breakout candidate for the 2026 season, motioning toward an expanded opportunity following the offseason trade of Michael Pittman Jr. to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
"Michael Pittman's departure should create more opportunities for Josh Downs in a contract year," PFF's Gordon McGuinness wrote.
Downs has surpassed 500 receiving yards in each of his first three seasons and has dropped only 4.3% of his catchable targets during that span, according to PFF.
His most productive campaign came in 2024, when he caught 72 passes for 803 yards and five touchdowns. PFF credited him with 2.20 yards per route run that season.
