Downs offers a PPR-friendly floor as a Colts rookie with solid route participation. In Week 2, expect a moderate target share and a potential flex play as a depth receiver with upside if targets persist.

Downs opened Week 1 with modest numbers; hamstring concerns and competition from Pittman Jr. and Warren cloud his Week 2 outlook, with a Broncos matchup offering a tougher test.

Downs’ Week 1 target share under Pittman Jr. and Warren’s heavy involvement suggests Downs may be the odd man out in Indy’s Week 2 plan versus the Broncos, especially with the QB focus shifting to Pittman and Warren.

Downs showed limited impact in Week 1, hinting at a potential slot role that could grow as Indy refines its quick-game concept. His development will influence Colts' pass-game depth and provide a potential Week-to-Week target evolution for fantasy managers.

Downs appears in Week 2 start/sit chatter as a potential high-floor, low-risk flex in certain matchups. His role could expand if the Colts lean on quick passes and high-percentage targets, particularly in PPR formats.
