From the episode

I'm a little bit more optimistic on Downs than Heath is. I wouldn't start Josh Downs over a lot of, you know, players you drafted ahead of him, receivers you drafted ahead of him. But kind of how you frame Cortland Sutton, I think Josh Downs fits that more so than Sutton does.

Downs is a strong PPR flex option with target upside

The source is optimistic about Josh Downs, suggesting he is a viable flex play in PPR formats. He is viewed as having more upside than DJ Moore and is preferred over players who rely solely on touchdowns, such as J.K. Dobbins.
