Downs is a slot receiver...Downs's 172 slot snaps are the most in the NFL...Downs is averaging 10.6 air yards per target this season, a huge number and nearly three full yards longer than his previous career high...a cheap, expiring contract should be workable for this front office.

Downs' 10.6 air yards per target and slot versatility make him an attainable trade target for Rams.

Matt Harmon argues Josh Downs is an attainable trade target for the Rams to address their receiver need; Downs runs 172 slot snaps (most in NFL per Player Profiler) on 53.4% of his snaps while aligned elsewhere 46.6% of the time, averaging 10.6 air yards per target (nearly three yards above his career high per Next Gen Stats), indicating explosive potential beyond slot-only production; Harmon emphasizes Downs' availability and cheap, expiring contract should be workable for the Rams' front office as they compete in the NFC West arms race.
