STACKED’s take

NeutralProjection

Downs (0.86 YPRR) is flex-viable but slumping due to Jones's poor play.

Downs has been slumping, though the source attributes this to Daniel Jones rather than Downs himself. He hasn't had more than 50 receiving yards since Week 3 and hasn't finished higher than WR41 over the last four games. Since Week 4, Downs has a 13.4% target share with 0.86 YPRR, one red zone target, four deep targets, and 17% first-read share. Jacksonville has allowed the ninth-most yards per target to slot receivers while ranking 17th in fantasy points per opportunity over the last five games. Downs is flex-viable again this week, though the source notes Indianapolis would be wise to feature him to drive his trade stock up.
