From the episode

One of the things that Josh Downs probably needs to be fantasy relevant, one of the several things, is he's got to play from elsewhere besides the slot. He's going to be behind Keenan Allen if he only plays from the slot.

STACKED’s take

NeutralRole

Downs needs expanded role beyond slot to compete with Allen and Warren.

Downs' stock was higher at training camp with no Alec Pierce and no Keenan Allen but is now suppressed due to health concerns and the presence of both Allen and Pierce (who may return soon). He needs to play from positions beyond the slot to be fantasy relevant; if he's only a slot guy with Tyler Warren and Keenan Allen, he'll struggle to have a legitimate role. He's ranked 46-47 by the source but has finished between 35th and 45th in scoring all three seasons, similar to Dalton Schultz.
