From the episode

You've looked at the nine targets two weeks ago, 11 targets this past game. I know he hasn't gotten into the end zone quite a bit, but the volume is there, and you want to bet on guys that are giving you big volume.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalUsage

Downs' target volume (11 last week) makes him a reliable flex play with Pierce sidelined.

With Alec Pierce out of the lineup, Josh Downs is the Indianapolis Colts' primary target. He has received nine targets two weeks ago and 11 targets in the past game. The source emphasizes the volume is there and recommends betting on Downs as a player who can deliver consistent points in the flex spot week in and week out, despite not yet reaching the end zone frequently.
