Josh Downs Week 4 Outlook - Rams at Colts

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Sep 28th 2023, 1:05pm EDT

Downs has played solidly as Indy's starting slot. He has a 19.0% Target share with 1.38 YPRR and a 20% first-read share. Against zone coverage this season, all of those numbers have dipped. Against off-coverage, Downs has a 16.9% Target share with 1.1 YPRR and a 15.7% first-read share. This isn't an encouraging trend. The passing attack has condensed around Pittman when the team has seen zone. Downs will match up Cobie Durant this week (71.4% catch rate and 101.5 passer rating). Downs has only one less red zone target (three) than the team leader Pittman (four). Week 4 Positional Value: WR4/5
