Downs or Pickens? (1 Viewer)

With Flacco being named starter. Do I pickup Josh Downs and drop Pickens in a 1/2 pt.? Downs has produced with competent qb play while Pickens has proven to be boom or bust. Any thoughts are appreciated.

I would stick with Pickens but understand why you might go the other way. Reason being to stick with Pickens is that he is the focal point and has been more consistent with Russ taking over. Downs is going to be solely dependent upon Flacco as we know he is useless with Richardson. We also know eventually Indy would like the QB to be Richardson so I don't have confidence they stick with Flacco.

Appreciate your thoughts Galley. Colts said Flacco is the starter for rest of the year. Tough choice. Leaning dropping Pickens

I see "going forward" a little different than it being set in stone he is the starter for the rest of the year. If the Colts start losing even with Flacco and get out of the running I see no reason they would keep running Flacco out there over Richardson. So while Flacco is the guy at the moment there are many paths to him not being the guy again.

I think the Richardson experiment is completely over. He's a total bust. I like Downs the rest of the way

Pickens as long as DangeRuss is the starter.
