More on Downs and the WR board
He's a depth option, not a priority pick: #148 overall, #53 at his position. Draft late or stream based on matchups.
His current ADP in ESPN drafts is 143.4 (roughly round 12 in a 12-team league). We rank him #115 in 1QB Full-PPR drafts, so he is fairly priced.
We project 8.2 PPR points per game across an expected 10 games — approximately 82 points for the season. His typical game last season landed between 4.6 and 12.7 (middle 50% of results), and that puts him #140 in projected scoring (#115 on the 1QB draft board once positional value is applied).
He delivered at least 75% of his average in 57% of games, with a floor of 3.8 and a ceiling of 14.2 fantasy points. He boomed (125%+ of average) in 29% of games and busted (under half his average) in 14%.
