From the episode
Josh Downs is the wide receiver 23 and targets per route run... He should give a lot more opportunity with Michael Pittman being out... the Colts, too, are only favored in six games this year right now. So like I'm expecting him to throw a lot more.
STACKED’s take
Positive signalRole
WR23 in TPRR with Pittman out; fell too far in draft.
The source took Josh Downs in the eighth round as a wide receiver four and flex, noting he should see more opportunity with Michael Pittman out. Downs is WR23 in targets per route run over his rookie contract. The Colts are favored in only six games, so the source expects more passing volume. Volatility exists with Daniel Jones' health (Achilles injury on plant foot, similar to Kirk Cousins' struggles), but Downs benefits if Alec Pierce is not 100% to start. The source also notes Downs fell later than expected and shouldn't have dropped where he did, representing good value.
