Josh Downs

Since his return to the lineup, Downs is tied with Pittman for the team lead in target share (28%) while posting 2.67 YPRR and a 37.8% first-read share (first on the team). Over the last two weeks, Jacksonville has flipped their defensive approach with the fifth-highest two-high rate (55.6%). Since Week 3, against two-high, Downs has tied Pittman in target share (23.8%), ranked second in YPRR (1.94), and led the team in first-read share (33.3%). Jacksonville has allowed the eighth-most receiving yards and the ninth-highest PPR points per target to slot receivers. Downs will run about 95% of his routes against Jarrian Jones (78.6% catch rate and 111.6 passer rating).

Josh Downs hauled in eight passes for 82 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Fantasy Impact

Downs had a phenomenal game on Sunday. He lead the team with eight catches over the course of the day, and he was also able to find the end zone once. His uptick in volume was correlated with Joe Flacco coming in the game at QB for the Colts, so if that doesn't remain the case, Downs probably won't be a consistent fantasy option moving forward.
