Josh Downs at MIN: Trailing Game Script Boosts Slot Value
Operating as Indianapolis' primary slot receiver alongside Keenan Allen, Downs has commanded 14 targets over his last two contests. With tight end Tyler Warren questionable due to a groin injury, Downs should see steady involvement as an underneath security blanket for Daniel Jones.
As 6.5-point road underdogs against the unbeaten Vikings, the Colts are likely to lean heavily into the passing game. We project Downs for approximately 4.5 receptions and 56 receiving yards on nearly seven targets (11.8 fantasy points), making him a viable PPR Flex option despite starting in only 28% of fantasy leagues.

Konata Mumpfield at Las Vegas — Expanded role possible amid receiver injuries
Operating as the Rams' primary slot receiver, Mumpfield is positioned for added snaps after Davante Adams was placed on injured reserve with a hamstring injury, while Puka Nacua is also managing a calf issue. Fantasy managers have taken note, bumping his roster rate up to 11% ahead of this matchup in Las Vegas.
Even with open targets in a projected high-scoring indoor matchup, our weekly projection remains reserved, slating him for approximately 1.5 targets, 8.1 receiving yards, and 1.9 fantasy points. After catching two passes for 15 yards last week, Mumpfield is an intriguing speculative stash, but he belongs on fantasy benches until his volume proves reliable.
