From the article

Downs – who will be the Colts' No. 1 receiver if Alec Pierce (heel) is out – could enjoy a quality outing in what might be another high-scoring Colts game. Houston's defense is well-regarded, but it has been porous to open the 2026 NFL season. It has allowed the third-most FPPG to wide receivers thus far.

Downs' potential No. 1 role and Texans' third-worst pass defense support a start.
