STACKED’s take
Chiefs trade nets Downs best landing spot; jumps tiers with Mahomes despite WR52 prior rank
Traded to the Chiefs in a deal where Indianapolis received a fourth and fifth round pick (Chiefs gave a seventh). Flock Fantasy, who previously ranked Downs at WR52, calls this 'the best-case scenario' and 'the best landing spot.' Downs had 25% target share with Colts in 2024, 17% last year, and 20% this year; never finished higher than WR31 in PPG but has never played with a QB as good as Patrick Mahomes. The source recommends: 'at the very minimum, if Josh Downs is on your waiver wire, you have to look at him' and believes he 'jumps up a couple tiers in rankings' to a range where 'the floor is rock bottom, but you have this ceiling to be a flex-worthy asset.' Downs is fourth in Chiefs pecking order behind Rashee Rice, Kenneth Walker, and Travis Kelce.
