Indianapolis wide receiver Josh Downs was spotted on the sideline in street clothes during practice with a groin injury, raising immediate concern for his early-season status. Coming off a season where he commanded a 23.6-percent Target Rate and a 70.5-percent Slot Rate, any missed time impacts a player heavily reliant on volume in the short-to-intermediate passing game.

The team expects an official update soon, but a soft-tissue setback this close to Week 1 threatens his projection as a high-floor fantasy asset. Downs remains a very strong WR pick in dynasty league start-ups as well as high-stakes and best ball formats.
