Jordan Addison vs Josh Downs
Josh Downs holds a 10.7% edge in Superflex dynasty value.Updated 9/26/2026
THE CASE FOR ADDISON
Josh Downs flashed strong volume as a rookie, earning trust from the Colts and showing reliable hands. His route running is crisp, and he should benefit from Anthony Richardson’s big arm as the offense evolves. Downs is likely locked into the slot role with little immediate competition. Youth and potential target share keep his dynasty arrow pointing up.
THE CASE FOR DOWNS
Jordan Addison scored seven touchdowns as a rookie, quickly building chemistry with Kirk Cousins and thriving opposite Justin Jefferson. Even with QB uncertainty, Addison’s route running and knack for big plays give him weekly upside. He’s younger, more proven in the red zone, and could see a larger role if Jefferson ever misses time. Addison feels safer for spike weeks.
VERDICT BY TEAM SITUATION
Addison’s touchdown upside and offense make him the preferred win-now play.
Downs’ stability and potential target growth give him a slight edge for rebuilders.
This is almost a coin flip; pick your favorite archetype or stack with your QB.
