  • IND Wide Receiver #2

    The Colts’ original asking price for Downs, who has requested a trade, was a third-round pick. Indianapolis has told teams they already have an offer of a fourth-round pick for the 25-year-old receiver, who is in the last year of his rookie contract. Downs is probably one of the more likelier players to be traded ahead of the deadline. Teams have also called the Colts about Keenan Allen, though he’s unlikely to bring back a similar trade return given his age.
  • IND Quarterback #17
    Despite ESPN’s Adam Schefter trying to will a Jones trade into existence by recreating Brian Windhorst memes, Pelissero reports the Colts have informed teams they aren’t trading the 29-year-old quarterback. Jones is set to start against the Cowboys in Week 9, but could find himself on the bench once the Colts are eliminated from playoff contention given the injury guarantees for next season in his contract.
  • IND Running Back #28
    An earlier report from the Athletic’s Jonathan Jones listed the Vikings and Giants as the favorites to trade for Taylor while the Seahawks, Packers and Broncos are still in the mix. Pelissero threw cold water on all of that by reporting no team has come close to offering what the Colts want for Taylor. Maybe that changes after Week 9, but if Taylor is stuck in Indianapolis, that’s probably the worst-case scenario for his rest-of-season fantasy value.
  • IND Quarterback #17
    Schefter passes along that the Ravens called the Colts about Jones before they acquired Jacoby Brissett from the Cardinals. Otherwise, this report lacked specifics. According to league sources, multiple teams have called the Colts about trading for Jones, but he couldn’t name a team other than the Ravens. Schefter mentions the Vikings as a possibility, but while that suggestion makes sense given Minnesota’s need at quarterback and Jones’ history with the organization, it’s still purely speculation at this point. Jones is set to start against the Cowboys in Week 9, but isn’t on the fantasy radar outside of 2QB/superflex leagues.

    Fowler says that multiple sources around the league, including multiple sources inside the Colts’ organization, believe Jones “should be trying to get out of Indy, or maybe wants to.” The Colts are entering a rebuild, with trade rumors swirling around multiple star players. Fowler closed the segment by hinting at the Vikings as a possible landing spot. Jones’ fantasy-scoring outlook might tick up a little bit were he to head back to Minnesota.
  • IND Wide Receiver #2
    Downs’ 2026 season has fallen short of expectations, but perhaps he has a chance to rebound. Breer believes acquiring Downs would “probably” cost a fourth-round pick. He is “one of a number of receivers on the market” at the moment, with the Chiefs and Steelers among the teams looking for help at the position. Breer adds that the 49ers are “open” to adding a wide receiver as well, but with their positional health improving, San Francisco is “less desperate than they were a couple of weeks ago.” The Steelers’ wide receiver corps might be too muddled for Downs to meaningfully increase his productivity, but landing in Kansas City or San Francisco would likely be good for him.
  • IND Running Back #28
    All three teams have inquired about Taylor’s trade cost. Per Breer, the Colts either want a first-round pick or a draft pick package similar to what the Panthers received for Christian McCaffrey in 2023. The 49ers handed over 2023 second-, third- and fourth-round picks, and a 2024 fifth-rounder to acquire him. None of the three suitors have met either asking price yet. That said, the Giants have reportedly offered enough for Breer to label them “a serious suitor.” Stay tuned.

    Taylor didn’t dwell on the question for more than a word, but he did confirm that no trade request has been made. The team’s desire to trade him is ultimately about rebuilding the roster after going all in on the ill-fated “Daniel Jones era.” With several teams reportedly interested and the Colts strongly motivated to recoup draft capital for the coming years, we expected a deal to get done before Tuesday’s deadline. For now, fantasy managers can keep Taylor in their lineups, as there’s been no indication that Taylor will be put on ice to protect his trade value.
  • IND Running Back #28
    Long story short, the Colts are trying to wring every last ounce of draft capital out of their roster and think teams will up their offers after Sunday’s games. Schultz named Jonathan Taylor, Josh Downs, and Grover Stewart as players who could be on the move. Daniel Jones’s name has also come up, though it’s hard to imagine another team paying even a late-round pick for his services given how dreadful he has been this year. All signs point to Taylor being moved early next week, but it’s clear the Colts are going to play hardball in trade talks. We still suspect he’s playing for a new team by Week 10.
  • IND Wide Receiver #2
    The Rams’ resources are thin. They already traded away their 2027 first- and second-round picks, their 2028 second-round pick and their 2029 third-round pick. They also have just $8,000 in 2026 salary cap space, so restructuring the potential new add’s deal would be required. Atkins believes the Rams should consider Josh Downs as the top option due to his ability to beat man coverage and contribute as a returner. Other options, according to Atkins, include Calvin Ridley, Keenan Allen and Jauan Jennings, “for the likely cost of a Day 3 pick.”
