Fantasy Football Happy Hour with Matthew Berry on Josh Downs

Downs ranked outside top 40 vs. Vikings; career-low route share amid Colts' offensive struggles.

Matthew Berry ranks Josh Downs outside his top 40 wide receivers this week facing the Vikings, citing a confluence of issues: Minnesota's second-toughest matchup for slot receivers, the Colts' third-lowest implied team total in week seven, Daniel Jones' poor play forcing underneath passes to Keenan Allen instead, and Downs' career-low 20.6% route share. Downs' strength against man coverage is negated by the offensive line struggles that force longer-developing routes, and he failed to produce against the Titans last week, so Berry doubts he'll perform on the road against Brian Flores' defense.
