Better value than Warren; bet on career-high route share threatened by WR signings.
Josh DownsWR
Ryan Heath prefers Josh Downs over Tyler Warren to capitalize on the intermediate target opportunity left behind by Michael Pittman's departure, liking Downs at his cheaper ADP as the better value play for that role in the Colts offense. The core bet on Downs is that he will run the most routes of his career by far in the Colts passing game. However, this thesis is threatened by potential free agent signings of Keenan Allen, Stefon Diggs, or Debo Samuel, which would signal the Colts are unhappy with Downs on the outside or want to rotate more, affecting his route share and target opportunity.

I I think I'm just betting on Josh Downs more so to do that... I like cheaper Josh Downs, though... what I'm really chasing is that he's going to run the most routes of his career by far... if they sign a Stefon Diggs or a Debo Samuel or a Keenan Allen... that would legit affect my opinion of it
