FantasyPros Articles on Josh Downs

Downs' slot role exploits Dallas' weak slot coverage despite recent yardage struggles.

Josh Downs is WR55 in fantasy points per game with a 17.8% target share, 1.25 YPRR, six red zone targets, eight deep targets, and 21.9% first-read share. He has gone five games in a row without surpassing 50 receiving yards but saved his fantasy day last week with a score. Dallas has been terrible at defending the slot, allowing the third-most yards per target and 11th-most fantasy points per opportunity to slot receivers over their last five games, making Downs a decent flex option.
