Downs is struggling; sit him against Minnesota's elite slot defense.

Downs' season has quickly gone down the toilet as WR56 in fantasy points per game. In four of his six games this season, he has failed to manage at least double-digit PPR points or more than 50 receiving yards. He has an 18.3% target share, 1.40 YPRR, five red zone targets, seven deep targets, and 23.6% first-read share. The source recommends sitting Downs this week with another tough matchup incoming. Minnesota has allowed the fifth-fewest yards per target and fantasy points per opportunity to slot receivers.
