0:00Alec Pierce has been placed on the
0:01training camp physically unable to
0:02perform list, which is actually a pretty
0:04big deal as he's recovering from
0:06off-season ankle surgery. There's a
0:07clear beneficiary here for Josh Downs.
0:10Right now he's going as the wide
0:11receiver 43 on Underdog Fantasy. Josh
0:13Downs has been averaging over 10 fantasy
0:16points per game in his career in any
0:18game where he plays over 75% or more of
0:20the snaps. I've not been big on Alec
0:22Pierce throughout the entirety of draft
0:24season, and I have been rather large on
0:26Josh Downs. I'm going to move Josh Downs
0:28up in my rankings to right about wide
0:30receiver [music] 40. What are you doing
0:32with Pierce and Downs in fantasy
