RotoWire NFL Articles on Josh Downs

Downs' season-low usage amid Jones' career-worst efficiency; tough Steelers matchup.

Downs turned in a season-low effort in usage and production in an island game without Alec Pierce (foot, IR) or Keenan Allen (groin); while Downs is a very good real life receiver, it is becoming increasingly clear that Daniel Jones is a shell of his best self in 2026 with career lows in QBR (37.4) and yards per attempt (5.7) through four weeks; combined with Ashton Dulin and Laquon Treadwell unironically being the team's deep threats, defenses have made it easy to zero in on Downs and Tyler Warren in the underneath areas; Pittsburgh has allowed the sixth-fewest PPR points per game to slot receivers this season.
