From the episode

Josh Downs is going to continue to eat in the kind of short and intermediate routes... I think you probably have like a four to six week window where he's very much likely to be used as kind of a legit wide receiver one anyway.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

Downs positioned as WR1 for 4-6 weeks despite Daniel Jones' poor efficiency.

Downs has increased exposure in the Giants offense and is likely to be used as a legitimate wide receiver one for a four to six week window; he runs violent routes after the catch and plays bigger than his size, though injury risk exists if he continues that aggressive style; Daniel Jones' abysmal statistics (29th EPA per drop back, 30th completion percentage over expectation, 28th yards per attempt, 28th adjusted net yards) mean Downs will operate primarily in short and intermediate routes alongside Jonathan Taylor, with downfield targets possible despite pressure issues.
