The Colts have repeatedly been linked to Allen—Shane Steichen connection from Chargers days, etc. That said, it would be a particularly cruel fate for Downs if the team tries to add depth for Pierce, a deep threat, with Allen—a 34-year-old slot WR who directly overlaps with Downs' skill set and has a vampiric ability to siphon away targets from anyone in his orbit.

Downs at risk if Keenan Allen joins Colts; avoid chasing him up the board.
