STACKED’s take

Positive signalValue

14 spots above ADP; round 8 depth WR in double hero RB builds.

WR ranked 14 spots higher than consensus ADP per Ron Stewart's ADP Edge Tool. Stewart identifies Downs as a late-round WR value to target after securing two top-12 RBs early, part of the strategy to hammer WR values in rounds 5–10. In mock drafts, Downs is selected in round 8 as WR depth for bye week and injury coverage, part of the three-WR strategy through flex with emphasis on the flex check tool; provides backup depth while allowing the roster to maintain flexibility for running back values that may emerge later.
