NegativeValueJul 13, 2026
Downs is rising in ADP from WR46 in June to WR41 and represents strong value at 112. With Michael Pittman Jr. traded to Pittsburgh, Downs was positioned for a bigger role in 2026. Alec Pierce's offseason surgery could sideline him until September, accelerating Downs' opportunity. In 2025, Downs played 62% of snaps (vs. 80%+ for Pittman and Pierce) but earned a team-high targets per route run rate of 0.24 and 84 targets. Beat reports suggest the gap between Downs and Pierce (top two options) versus Ashton Dulin (WR3) is substantial. Reliable sources speculate Downs will play more on the outside, unlocking every-down potential. The main risk is if Keenan Allen signs with the Colts, which would cap Downs' upside.
