From the episode
Josh Downs had arguably the best game of his career...He ran around on 71% of the dropbacks with two or fewer wide receivers on the field. He previously averaged 8% in the first three seasons of his NFL career...he had three targets on kind of these bigger outbreaking routes, at least farther than 10 yards down the field.
STACKED’s take
Downs' route share exploded to 71% in two-receiver sets; expect continued deep-route targets.
Downs had arguably the best game of his career in terms of two-wide-receiver-set route running and production, finishing as WR23 in half-PPR. He ran routes on 71% of dropbacks with two or fewer receivers on the field (previously averaged 8% in his first three NFL seasons) and 92-93% overall (never higher than 76% in any prior season). He won on quick slants and motion routes while also getting three targets on deeper outbreaking routes (10+ yards downfield). The source expects this usage to increase further due to Alec Pierce's absence and believes Downs will continue to be featured on these deeper routes since Keenan Allen won't fill that role and Tyler Warren operates in the flats.
