Josh Downs requests trade from Colts

Oct 28, 2026

Josh Downs has requested a trade, according to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler. Shane Steichen separately said Jonathan Taylor has not requested a trade.

Fantasy Impact:

Hold Downs through the trade uncertainty. He remains a WR3/FLEX consideration while with Indianapolis, and a move could improve his outlook depending on his destination and role. If traded, Allen would become the preferred Colts WR start, with additional target opportunities available to Warren when healthy. Treadwell and Burks would become deeper-league considerations, but neither needs to be rushed into lineups before a deal happens.

Chiefs signing Justin Tucker to practice squad

Kansas City is signing Justin Tucker to its practice squad, according to Sam McDowell. Tucker has not appeared in an NFL game since the 2024 season.

Related Players: Harrison Butker

Fantasy Impact:

Tucker’s signing does not make him Kansas City’s starting kicker. Butker remains on the active roster, but the addition creates competition after his early-season struggles. Managers carrying Butker can reasonably pivot to another streamer.

Broncos WR Jaylen Waddle, suffered an aggravation of his previous chest injury on the reverse last week and his status for Sunday vs the Chiefs will be determined at a later time, sources say.

Waddle’s availability will be based on how practice goes.

Fantasy Impact:

Fantasy Impact: Managers should have a replacement ready for Waddle. If he sits, Sutton would become Denver’s preferred WR3/FLEX option, while Mims and Franklin would enter deeper-league consideration through additional opportunities. Neither would become an automatic start in an offense that has struggled to produce consistent receiving value. Nix would remain a low-end SuperFlex option.
