Yahoo Fantasy Football - Josh & Hayden on Josh Downs

Josh DS continues on with this tier. Uh last two weeks without Alec Pierce, he's the wide receiver 15 on wide receiver 11 expected half PPR points... Josh Downs is in uh the slot a whole lot more... all like the fun stuff in the offense is going to Josh DS... I would not sleep on Josh DS as a real fantasy wide receiver too at the moment.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Slot-heavy role with WR15 production; Commanders allow most WR fantasy points.

Josh Downs has been WR15 over the last two weeks without Alec Pierce on WR11 expected half-PPR points. He operates in the slot heavily while Keenan Allen is sacrificed to the perimeter, giving Downs access to all the fun offensive concepts. Aman Ross St. Brown emphasizes not to sleep on Downs as a real fantasy wide receiver, especially given the Commanders' matchup—they've allowed the most fantasy points to wide receivers and second-most passing yards this season, with CeeDee Lamb posting WR3 numbers and JSN WR1 overall last week.
