Video: Everything Just Changed - Week 7
I'm done with Josh Downs. I'm straight up ranking Keenan Allen ahead of Josh Downs rest of season... Josh Downs, if you go through his NFL career, it's like, 'Oh, his rookie season, wide receiver 52 in points per game.' Oh, year two, wide receiver 32. Oh, year three, wide receiver 54. And this season you look, he's like, 'Oh, he's wide receiver 51.' We're now in year four of the Josh Downs experience. This dude's never been viable.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalBust

Four-year bust pattern; Pierce done with Downs despite target volume.

Pierce is done with Josh Downs, ranking Keenan Allen ahead of him rest of season. Pierce cites Downs' four-year NFL career trajectory—WR52 (rookie), WR32 (year two), WR54 (year three), WR51 (year four)—as evidence of chronic underperformance; even in Week 7 when Downs drew eight targets with no Alec Pierce or Tyler Warren, he still failed to produce. Pierce calls him unusable and says the excuses are over.
