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 and not placed upon Downs... Downs leads all of them in separation and ranks sixth in route win rate... the matchup isn't great. Pittsburgh has allowed the 14th-fewest yards per target and the seventh-fewest fantasy points per opportunity to slot receivers.

Downs leads in separation and route win rate but faces tough Steelers slot defense this week.

Downs is the WR48 in fantasy points per game with two games posting at least 12.7 PPR points this season. He leads all 45 qualifying receivers in separation and ranks sixth in route win rate, with a 20.5% target share, 1.67 YPRR, four red zone targets, three deep targets, and 26.8% first-read share (team-leading). His quiet week last week was attributed to quarterback Daniel Jones's limitations as a passer rather than Downs's performance. This week against Pittsburgh, which has allowed the 14th-fewest yards per target and seventh-fewest fantasy points per opportunity to slot receivers, the matchup is not favorable.
