With Michael Pittman Jr. now in Pittsburgh, it frees up over 100 targets... Downs should not be forgotten. Downs out-targeted all Colts wide receivers with 14 red-zone targets, trailing Warren by only 4... he should also see a bump in routes, with his usage likely to increase, making him a really nice value in the middle-to-late rounds of drafts.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalValue

Downs' red-zone targets and increased route share make him a strong value at ADP 102.

Downs is ADP 102 (WR43) and offers strong value in middle-to-late rounds. With Michael Pittman Jr. traded to Pittsburgh, over 100 targets are freed up. Downs out-targeted all Colts WRs with 14 red-zone targets, trailing Tyler Warren by only 4. Among WRs with 50+ targets, he ranked tied for 23rd in targets per route run. Daniel Jones' limited rushing due to his torn Achilles recovery may force more short-yardage throws and designed screens for Downs, and his route share should increase, making him a nice value play.
