Deep Pick choiceDraft Josh Downs over Xavier Worthy. Downs is ahead on the canonical board (51st overall, 20 spots) and offers the steadier roster-value profile: higher modeled median (150.3 vs 138.0) and a better high-end ceiling (186.0 vs 170.9). He also owns stronger role command (37.6% vs 31.4%). Plus, his playoff runway is higher (53 vs 44), which matters for a WR draft slot. Even with acquisition timing differences, the risk gap supports Downs.

Worthy’s real path is a bigger spike toward his ceiling (170.9) if his scoring window expands despite lower role command.
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.
