Alec Pierce - Makes three catches in loss Pierce caught all three of his targets for 41 yards in Sunday's 21-13 loss to the Vikings.
Impact Pierce's 41 receiving yards were second on the team behind Josh Downs' 60, while no teammate had more than 22. After posting 368 receiving yards and three touchdowns on 17 targets through Week 5, Pierce has cooled off with only 67 yards and no touchdowns on 16 targets over the last four games. Getting back on track won't be easy in Week 10 against a Bills defense that tends to limit the big downfield plays on which Pierce thrives.

Michael Pittman Jr. - Just one catch in Week 9 loss Pittman caught one of four targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 21-13 loss to the Vikings.
Impact Pittman was blanked on one first-half target and didn't see a substantial uptick in the second half. His quiet stat line was especially disappointing in the context of the Colts benching Anthony Richardson and starting Joe Flacco under center against the Vikings, as Pittman's pedestrian performance this season has been attributed in large part to Richardson's inaccuracy. After mustering at least 925 receiving yards in each of the previous three regular seasons, Pittman's on pace for only 691 receiving yards in 2024, with just 366 yards through nine games. Picking up the pace won't be easy in Week 10 against Buffalo's stout secondary.

Joe Flacco - No TDs, two turnovers in Week 9 Flacco completed 16 of 27 passes for 179 yards, no touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 21-13 loss to the Vikings. He also rushed twice for minus-1 yard and lost a fumble.
Impact Flacco's first-half stats were reminiscent of the poor production that got Anthony Richardson benched in favor of the veteran, as Flacco completed just six of 10 passes for 62 yards and was charged with a fumble on a botched handoff. The veteran quarterback upped his yardage total in the second half, but he threw an ugly interception early in the fourth quarter and an incomplete pass on fourth down to end the Colts' penultimate possession. Flacco led Indianapolis to only six points on offense, as the defense contributed a touchdown. If Flacco doesn't improve substantially in Week 10 against the Bills, the 4-5 Colts could opt to turn back to Richardson as they try to balance their pursuit of a playoff berth this season and the future of the team's quarterback position.

Josh Downs - Leading receiver in Week 9 loss Downs caught six of nine targets for 60 yards in Sunday's 21-13 loss to the Vikings.
Impact Downs easily led the Colts in targets, catches and receiving yards, with no teammate posting more than five targets. He has shown strong chemistry with quarterback Joe Flacco, who was inserted as the starter over the benched Anthony Richardson against Minnesota. Downs has 22 catches for 195 yards and a touchdown across Flacco's three starts this season. Indianapolis' passing game will face a tough Week 10 test at home against the Bills.

Jonathan Taylor - Quiet in Flacco-led offense Taylor rushed 13 times for 48 yards while catching three of five targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 21-13 loss to the Vikings.
Impact Taylor had rushed for at least 88 yards in each of his previous four appearances, but this performance was more similar to his disappointing 48-yard Week 1 outing against the Texans, though he at least found the end zone in that one. It's a bit worrying that this subpar outing coincided with Taylor's first game started by Joe Flacco at quarterback. The threat of Anthony Richardson using his legs may have helped open up additional running lanes for Taylor, but Taylor's unlikely to go into a prolonged slump with Richardson benched given the star running back's track record of success when healthy. Taylor will look to bounce back in Week 10 against a Bills defense that has struggled to defend running backs.
