Ron Stewart on Josh Downs
From the video
Everyone and their brother is telling you to buy Josh DS. But the thing about Josh DS is he's disrespected in trade talks. Even if he's somebody that people are trying to trade for, he is always going to be looked at as like a PPR wide receiver three. Uh he's had to hit 15 plus PPR points in a given week. But I think this is the week where he truly does pop off.
STACKED’s take
WR27 ROS with 172 air yards; buy-low candidate vs. Washington.
Ron Stewart identifies Josh Downs as an obvious buy despite being disrespected in trade talks and labeled a PPR WR3; he's projected to pop off this week against Washington (allowed most fantasy points to WRs). Downs had 172 air yards in week three (previous career high 111), indicating increased downfield usage. Jacob Gibbs ranks him WR2 in average separation score behind only Zay Flowers. Stewart ranks him WR27 rest-of-season and suggests trading AJ Brown straight up for Downs if 0-3 or 1-2, or trading Jaylen Price for Downs if Price isn't in your lineup and your WR3 is weak (Romeo Dobbs or Keenan Allen level). Can still be acquired for relatively cheap despite being a popular buy target.
