Josh Downs

Colts WR Alec Pierce (concussion) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Titans. He leaves behind 4.1 targets per game, giving WRs Michael Pittman and Josh Downs slight boosts. WR Adonai Mitchell figures to soak up most of Pierce's snaps but is only viable in DFS tournaments.

Returning from a shoulder injury, Downs ran a full complement of pass routes but was hampered by Anthony Richardson's wildly inaccurate passing against Denver. Michael Pittman led the Colts with nine targets on the day. Downs should continue operating as the team's No. 1 receiver down the stretch. A Week 16 date with a burnable Titans defense could be a boon for Downs, who had 67 yards and a score the last time he faced off against the Titans.

Surtain picked one off in the fourth quarter and was immediately hit in the lower body by Josh Downs. Surtain's foot seemed to stick in the turf and his leg bent awkwardly. He was able to limp to the Denver sidelined before being ruled out in the lopsided Broncos win. The Broncos will hope Surtain is OK for the team's huge Week 16 game against the division rival Chargers.

The biggest injury question mark for the Colt heading into Sunday's game in Denver was next to wide receiver Josh Downs's name and we got clarity on his status 90 minutes ahead of kickoff.

Colts declared WR Ashton Dulin, QB Sam Ehlinger, S Darren Hall, DE Isaiah Land, and G Atonio Mafi inactive against the Broncos.
