Advice and prediction

Colts: Josh Downs OVER 45.5 receiving yards (-110)

The rookie has essentially taken over the No. 2 wide receiver role through the first month of the season. He ranks second on the team in targets (33), receptions (23) and receiving yards (255) despite running the third-most routes and playing the third-most snaps among Colts wide receivers. He’s also coming off a breakout performance of six receptions for 97 yards in Week 5. Meanwhile, the Jaguars have allowed the ninth-most receiving yards (927) to the position through five games. Even with Gardner Minshew under center, Downs should be heavily involved as a quick-winning slot option, and he has a good chance of surpassing this line.

Prediction: Jaguars 24, Colts 21
