Elite 94% route participation, but target competition limits his ceiling

Josh Downs saw elite usage with 94% route participation, including 100% of routes in 12 personnel sets. While he recorded two receptions for 37 yards on the opening drive, Ian Hartitz notes his 14% target share is lower than Keenan Allen's 21%. His fantasy outlook is complicated by his 5'8, 170 lb frame, which limits his downfield upside, and the target competition from Keenan Allen in the underneath/intermediate areas.
