Downs is coming off a very strong primetime showing against the Chiefs, catching 7 of 9 targets for 72 yards... Downs should lead the Colts in that department the rest of the way, giving him low-end WR2 upside in PPR formats. Since entering the league in 2023, Downs has been targeted on 30% of his routes with both Pierce and former Colts receiver Michael Pittman Jr. off the field.

Downs has low-end WR2 upside with Pierce injured and 30% target share when top receivers absent.

Downs is a buy-low target following a strong primetime performance against the Chiefs (7 of 9 targets, 72 yards). With Alec Pierce sidelined by a heel injury and Michael Pittman Jr. departed, Downs should lead the Colts in targets going forward, giving him low-end WR2 upside in PPR. Since entering the league in 2023, Downs has been targeted on 30% of his routes when Pierce and Pittman are off the field. He ranks 11th in TPRR vs man coverage (29%) and has run 15 routes from motion, tied for fifth-most in the NFL, demonstrating the Colts' commitment to moving him around the formation.
