Week 8 vs. New Orleans Saints
Josh Downs had the best game of his young career last week against the Browns, catching five of his six targets for 125 yards and a touchdown. It was his first game with over 100 yards and his second straight game with a touchdown. He seems to be developing a great rapport with Gardner Minshew.
This week, Downs has a tough matchup against a New Orleans defense that ranks 12th in aFPA to opposing wide receivers. He’s too risky to count on in most leagues, especially in a tough matchup, but he should definitely be rostered in all formats given the targets he’s getting. He has at least six targets in three straight games and had 12 targets against Baltimore in Week 3 - a Minshew start. This week, consider him a low-end WR3 option, however.
