From the episode
Josh Downs is one that I'm very interested in buying...he's getting this like pretty much elite route share...he is working a little bit further down the field...they're using him in motion off of play action, all sorts of different stuff...I think he's going to ascend to wide receiver two over the next couple of weeks.
STACKED’s take
Positive signalBreakout
Buy Downs; elite route share, deeper deployment, motion usage; WR2 ascent coming.
Dhanani is very interested in buying Josh Downs despite the Alec Pierce injury news. Downs is receiving elite route share and is being deployed further downfield than last season, which Dhanani views as beneficial given his prior short-route concentration. Downs is also being used in motion and on play action. Dhanani believes Downs had a tough week-one matchup against Baltimore's solid secondary but saw increased targets in week two. Dhanani projects Downs will ascend to wide receiver two tier over the next couple of weeks and is currently undervalued at mid-wide receiver three; he specifically points to week four against Washington as a breakout opportunity.
