Draft Josh Downs over Jacory Croskey-Merritt if both are on the board. This is a cross-position call, so raw WR and RB points are not the tiebreaker: Josh Downs is WR28 and No. 50 overall, 36 spots ahead of Jacory Croskey-Merritt at RB33 after the board weighs replacement value, weekly startability, ceiling, role resilience, and playoff runway. Jacory Croskey-Merritt remains a strong roster-build alternative, but Josh Downs is the cleaner pick unless a newer structured status showing unrestricted participation or clearance would supersede this adjustment. Alec Pierce returning to unrestricted work would remove the temporary teammate opportunity adjustment.
