Downs gets team-high nine targets with Pierce out; becomes primary receiver option.

With Alec Pierce sidelined by a heel re-aggravation, Downs becomes the primary beneficiary of available competition at receiver for the Colts. He finished Week 2 with a team-high nine targets, seven catches for 72 yards. The source, who wasn't a believer in Downs' WR3 juice coming into the season, notes that at this point there's simply not much left for the Colts to throw to, making Downs credible as a slot option with significant target volume.
