Podcast1122: 10 Trends for Week 1September 9, 2026

From the episode

Downs has only run 33 [routes out of 12 and 13 personnel]... It's all interesting to me because there's at least some chance we see a shift with those players this year.

Downs' limited perimeter usage is a key trend to monitor for his 2025 outlook.

Josh Downs has run only 33 routes out of 12/13 personnel in his career and rarely lines up outside. JJ Zachariason is monitoring if he sees a shift in deployment this year while competing with Keenan Allen and Alec Pierce.
