Fantasy Points Fantasy Football on Josh Downs

High-end WR4/fringe WR3; elite TPRR vs. two-high; finally gets full-time work.

Start Josh Downs as a high-end WR4/fringe WR3 in Week 1 against Baltimore, overriding Chris Wecht's WR48 ranking. Downs will finally get a full-time workload; he has a higher target per route run against two-high coverage than all but Puka Nacua and Amon-Ra St. Brown; the Chargers defense allows the third-most yards on throws zero to nine yards; and Baltimore's Jesse Minter defense loves two-high coverage, creating an ideal schematic matchup. Additional workload expected due to Alec Pierce not being fully healthy.
