josh downs wide receiver 24 i've got carnell tate wide receiver 33 i cam ward cam ward that's a problem and just that the colts are one of the biggest slot funnel defenses in the league they're just getting destroyed by slot receivers...downs hasn't been great the last couple of weeks just three catches each of his last two games uh 16 yards against the commanders 47 against the steelers but he he did have 149 yards and 12 catches in weeks two and three and his average depth of target is 11.1 yards which is well above the norm for his career
STACKED’s take
Positive signalMatchup
Downs' elite route rate and air yard share support a bounce-back week vs. Titans slot defense.
Josh Downs has a favorable matchup against Tennessee, which has given up the second-most yards per target and fantasy points per opportunity to slot receivers. Downs is ranked WR24 in ECR and has an 11.1-yard average depth of target (well above his career norm), close to 30% air yard share, and an 85% route participation rate. Despite recent struggles (3 catches in each of his last two games), he had 149 yards and 12 catches in weeks 2-3 and should bounce back against a Titans slot defense allowing 17.4 PPR points per game to slot receivers (12th most in the league).
