Josh Downs has been slumping. I'm not laying this at the feet of Downs. It's a Daniel Jones problem. Downs hasn't had more than 50 receiving yards in a game since Week 3. Indy would be wise to feature him this week to drive his trade stock up, but we'll see if that happens. Downs is flex-viable again this week.

Downs is flex-viable but slumping due to Jones; Indianapolis should feature him to boost trade value.

Josh Downs has been slumping, which the source attributes to a Daniel Jones problem rather than Downs himself. He hasn't had more than 50 receiving yards in a game since Week 3 and hasn't finished higher than WR41 over the last four games. Since Week 4, he has a 13.4% target share with 0.86 YPRR, one red zone target, four deep targets, and a 17% first-read share. The source notes Indianapolis would be wise to feature him to drive his trade stock up. Downs is flex-viable this week. 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.
