Josh Downs at Pittsburgh: Target Volume Keeps Him in the Flex Mix
Josh Downs is fully healthy and operating as Indianapolis' starting slot receiver. With Alec Pierce on injured reserve and Keenan Allen nursing a groin issue, Downs maintains high-value passing looks underneath for Daniel Jones heading into a rainy road matchup against Pittsburgh.
Downs is rostered in 96% of leagues and started in 55%, reflecting solid manager trust. Our weekly projection targets roughly 11.5 fantasy points on 4.4 receptions, 54 receiving yards, and nearly seven looks. With Indianapolis riding a two-game win streak, Downs is a viable Flex play with a dependable PPR floor.

Will Shipley vs. Jaguars — Waiver Wire Target Poised for Expanded London Workload
Shipley has become the hottest waiver addition of the week, with his roster rate leaping to 66% after backfield injuries struck Philadelphia. Tank Bigsby is sidelined following core muscle surgery, while lead back Saquon Barkley missed practice Wednesday with a hamstring issue. This opens the door for Shipley to absorb meaningful touches alongside Dameon Pierce when the Eagles head to London to face Jacksonville.
Our weekly projections expect Shipley to log roughly 8.3 fantasy points, penciling him in for nearly 10 carries and a couple of targets. If Barkley is sidelined, Shipley enters the conversation as a viable flex option with upside in a game where Philadelphia is favored. Fantasy managers should monitor practice reports closely before making their final starting decision.
