Yahoo Fantasy Football - Josh & Hayden on Josh Downs

Video7 Wide Receivers You Are Drafting with Insane ConfidenceCaptured July 19, 2026

From the video

I want to believe in Josh Down so much. The passing game revolved around him at UNCC when he was attached to Drake May during that time, right? And he was like a slot plus receiver. He was winning down the field. He was winning in isolation. But obviously at his frame, at his size at 5'9, 171, as soon as you enter the NFL, you are pigeonholed as a player because everyone does it. Josh Towns has only run 33 routes in one or two receiver sets in his entire career so far.

Positive signalRole

At 5'9", 171 lbs, Downs is pigeonholed as a slot receiver in the NFL despite being a slot-plus receiver at UNCC who won down the field and in isolation. He has only run 33 routes in one or two receiver sets in his entire career so far.
