STACKED’s take

Negative signalMatchup

Downs' man-coverage strength clashes with Titans' zone-heavy defensive scheme.

Poor Week 6 matchup vs. Tennessee Titans; despite Titans being 0-5, their defense has been quietly good, allowing 228.6 yards per game through air and limiting opponents to fewer than 22 points per game. Downs has won at line of scrimmage and created separation but Daniel Jones isn't connecting with him. Downs produces far better results against man coverage (3.59 yards per route run) but Titans play man coverage at fourth-lowest rate and zone coverage at third-highest rate in league. Per Fantasy Points Data Suite, Downs has posted just 0.94 yards per route run and 0.16 targets per route run. Source views Downs as low-end FLEX play facing another tough day.
