Colts WR Josh Downs caught two of his four targets for 37 yards in a Week 1 loss against the Baltimore Ravens.

Why It Matters: Downs had both of his receptions in the first quarter but was quiet thereafter. Downs was a player many fantasy analysts considered a breakout candidate this year, but he had only four targets after averaging less than 10 yards per reception over 58 receptions last season. He is likely to be more involved for a longer period of time in Week 2 against the Chiefs, which should allow him to be a serviceable WR3/flex option.
