Start Josh Downs: 80 percent of the snaps and 18 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Treylon Burks's 65 percent of the snaps and 19 percent of the targets. No market projection is posted on either of them this week, so this is a usage call, and a lower confidence one than a call made on a projection. What follows is what each of them has done.
