Josh Downs had a quiet week last week with a good matchup, but I think the blame should be laid at the Achilles of Daniel Jones... the matchup isn't great.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Downs' elite separation wasted by Jones' limitations; tough Steelers slot coverage ahead.

Downs is WR48 in fantasy points per game with only two games with at least 12.7 PPR points this season; he has a 20.5% target share, 1.67 YPRR, four red zone targets, three deep targets, and 26.8% first-read share (leads the team). Among 45 qualifying receivers, Downs leads all in separation and ranks sixth in route win rate. However, the source blames his quiet week last week on Daniel Jones' limitations as a passer rather than Downs himself. The matchup this week isn't great: Pittsburgh has allowed the 14th-fewest yards per target and seventh-fewest fantasy points per opportunity to slot receivers.
