From the episode
Dave, you're sitting Josh Downs. I love Josh Downs, but I've got to do it because I don't trust his quarterback. And I don't like the fact that he only had four targets last week.
STACKED’s take
Downs is a sit this week; only 4 targets last week despite prior 20-target games.
The source is sitting Josh Downs despite loving him as a player. Only had four targets last week, which was terrible. Even when he's had a lot of targets this season, he hasn't been over 15 PPR points. The source doesn't trust his quarterback and wants to wait until the Colts offense figures themselves out and Downs sees consistent target volume on a week-to-week basis. The targets also aren't always catchable, which is part of the issue. However, there's a counter-argument: in the two games prior, Downs looked really good as a borderline number two receiver with 20 targets in those two games, and this week the Colts could be chasing points, which might lead to more opportunities.
