Then the Colts signed Allen, who led the Chargers in targets last season, with 122 — more than Ladd McConkey or Quentin Johnston. Even with Allen potentially facing a short suspension for his recent DWI arrest, this is ultimately terrible news for Downs' shot at a high-volume season.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Downs' ADP fall reflects Keenan Allen's arrival and reduced target opportunity.

Downs has fallen 6.4 spots in ADP following the Colts' signing of Keenan Allen. All hope for a Downs breakout in 2026 was predicated on high target rates without legitimate target competition after Michael Pittman Jr. departed. Allen led the Chargers in targets last season with 122, more than Ladd McConkey or Quentin Johnston. JJ Zachariason, a huge fan throughout the summer, has dropped Downs to WR35 in his rankings, translating to ADP around the 8-9 turn, though he's slid further into the late ninth.
