Josh Downs in dynasty: value, format and fit
In a 1QB league he is worth 3,444, the same as superflex, because the format adjustment only moves quarterbacks. These are the numbers the dynasty trade calculator starts from; league size, scoring and consolidation logic adjust them for the trade in front of you.
The players closest to him in value are Courtland Sutton (WR, 3,452), Kaelon Black (RB, 3,415) and De'Zhaun Stribling (WR, 3,389). Inside that band, position and age decide the trade, not the raw number. A straight swap for Kaelon Black (RB) is -0.8% for the side receiving Kaelon Black (RB). A 2-for-1 that returns Carson Beck (QB) and 2026 5.10 is dead even on value before the consolidation bonus the calculator applies to the side getting Josh Downs.
