This tier is mostly a mix of slot merchants, who can definitely help you win weeks and especially in Full-point PPR, and younger players who haven't quite proven it yet. While I don't think anyone in this tier will finish as a Top-10 player at the position, history says that one of them will.

STACKED’s take

Downs in WR3/Flex tier; unproven but one tier player will break top-10.

Downs is included in the WR3/Flex tier as a younger player who hasn't quite proven it yet, with the source noting that while no one in this tier is expected to finish as a Top-10 player, history suggests one will emerge.
