5 for 11 vs houston. quick slot guy with good hands but no tds and not many big plays. colts offense isn't flowing.
Downs is the kind of receiver quarterbacks love because he is open before the defense realizes it. His smaller frame has never kept him from working tough areas, and he has steadily built a real three-year production base. With the outside receiver spot open, 2026 could ask him to show even more versatility.
Strengths: Sudden separation, precise route detail, quickness after the catch and reliable volume production. He can win from the slot and has enough savvy to stress zones and work as a return option.
Weaknesses: His 2025 efficiency dipped from his 2024 peak, and his size can make physical boundary coverage more challenging. He also lost a fumble on a punt return last season, a reminder that ball security needs attention.
