Downs has been … disappointing. His shot was last week, versus a Titans defense that was a great coverage matchup while TE Tyler Warren was out. If Warren is in, Indianapolis goes to more two-TE formations, pushing Josh Downs outside where his production has declined. Believe it or not, when Keenan Allen is on the field, Downs' target share has jumped up 6% with him being able to go back inside to the slot. Either way, Minnesota's defense puts him in a rough spot this week. Daniel Jones under pressure has not been a pretty sight this season and not something I want to bank on working out for a Downs bounce-back game.

Downs has disappointed; Minnesota's defense and Jones' pressure issues make Week 7 a fade.

Downs has been disappointing this season. His best opportunity was last week against the Titans' favorable coverage matchup while Tyler Warren was out. With Warren returning, Indianapolis shifts to more two-TE formations, pushing Downs outside where his production has declined. While Keenan Allen's presence on the field has increased Downs' target share by 6% by allowing him to return to the slot, Minnesota's defense presents a rough matchup. Daniel Jones under pressure has not performed well this season, making a Downs bounce-back unlikely.
