From the episode

Josh Downs just simply might not cut out to be the engine of a passing offense... He does have a 95% route rate, but was target-mogged by Laquan Treadwell and Ashton.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Downs is a low-ceiling, high-variance fantasy asset with limited red-zone role.

Josh Downs is struggling to be the engine of the passing offense, managing only three targets on 35% of routes despite a 95% route rate. While he is not a drop candidate, his fantasy value is highly variant due to a low ADOT and lack of red-zone usage, with the team favoring Jonathan Taylor and Tyler Warren in scoring situations.
