From the episode

I guess my question is, can he win as a stationary, very wide receiver?... if it's Kyle Hamilton versus Josh Downs, he's just going to like completely swallowed up.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalUsage

Downs faces a tough matchup and questions about his role in two-wide sets.

There is skepticism regarding Josh Downs' ability to succeed as a stationary wide receiver in two-wide sets, as he has historically relied on motion and free releases. His Week 1 matchup against the Ravens is difficult, particularly if he is covered by Kyle Hamilton, who could neutralize him.
