Should I Start Josh Downs?

Friday, November 13, 12:39 PM

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Josh Downs will face the Atlanta Falcons on the road in his Chiefs debut this week. Downs was acquired from the Indianapolis Colts on Tuesday and will now get to play with superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Downs caught three passes for 24 yards on six targets in his last game for the Colts. It remains to be seen how much he will play after just joining the Chiefs earlier this week, but he could have a few plays schemed up for him. The matchup this week could also be an issue because the Falcons defense has been tough against wide receivers this season. Given his likely limited usage and bad matchup, Downs could be a player to avoid in his first game with a new team. Downs is ranked WR41 in our RotoBaller Week 10 PPR rankings, making him a flex option for those dealing with bye weeks.
