Fantasy Life Articles on Josh Downs

Downs' elite slot role is QB-dependent; hold or trade candidate.

Downs couldn't get going from the slot against Minnesota despite running a route on 93% of Indianapolis' dropbacks; he lines up in slot on 69% of his routes and is moving at snap on 20% (ninth among 88 qualified receivers), has run 25 slants this season, and Daniel Jones has targeted available slants nearly three times as often as go, fade and seam routes across the Colts' offense. Downs accounts for 23.1% of their first-read targets in his games; Receiver Score is holding him as a matchup-dependent WR3 or a potential trade to a situation with a better QB.
