From the episode
Downs is falling back into that middling wide receiver three territory where we like the talent. We know we can command targets, but I think we might get somewhere to what we got again last week just because of where he's deployed on the field.
STACKED’s take

Downs is a middling WR3; slot usage and a tough matchup limit his immediate ceiling.
Downs is a middling WR3 who continues to see consistent route participation but is hampered by a 72% slot usage rate in an offense with a struggling quarterback. Erickson notes the Steelers' defense is particularly effective against slot receivers, making this a difficult matchup. His value could improve if Keenan Allen returns, potentially shifting Downs to the perimeter.
