WR IND
Week 5 · PPR
Start or sit Josh Downs?
The verdict comes from our weekly projection model: last season's opportunity-based xFP/g shrunk toward the position mean, then adjusted for role, injury status, the opponent's fantasy points allowed and the Vegas game total vs the league average.
Sit
WR56 — below the ~34 started in 12-team leagues.
Sit call: Josh Downs projects for 5.9 PPR points this week, ranked #56 among WRs by our projection model. @PIT is a soft matchup for WRs — the model applies a +9% swing to his projection. Vegas posts the total at 47.5 — 101% of the 47.2 league average for week 5.
