What they are saying
"Michael Pittman Jr. and Josh Downs both saw statistical regression from the year prior... a 2023 third-rounder who only posted 566 receiving yards in 2025 after 1,574 in his first two seasons... Indianapolis is also expecting Downs to bounce back after seeing the fewest targets of his career last year, though his efficiency metrics took a sharp dip down, too."
