Fantasy Football Week 9: Start Josh Downs, Sit Makai Lemon per Projections
World Sports · 16:36:41 - Thursday, 5 November 2026

Fantasy football managers preparing for Week 9 have new wide receiver projections to consider. Analysts recommend starting Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Josh Downs while advising against starting Makai Lemon.

Downs, who wears number 2 for the Colts, was seen dropping a pass during the team's game against the Tennessee Titans at Lucas Oil Stadium on October 18, 2026. Despite that moment, projection models still favor him for Week 9 lineups.

The projections come from Fantasy Sports On SI, authored by Thomas Carelli, and were published on November 4, 2026.
