Positive signalBreakout

Downs is a buy-low target with a high ceiling in an expanded perimeter role.

Downs is a buy-low target with a high fantasy ceiling. Following Alec Pierce's injury, Downs saw an 83% route share and played 42% of his routes from the outside. His 36% target share in that role highlights his elite target-earning ability (92nd percentile historically).
