Josh Downs at Kansas City: Volume Opportunity as Underdogs on Sunday Night
Downs operates as Indianapolis' primary slot receiver alongside perimeter targets Alec Pierce and Keenan Allen. After a quiet Week 1 where he caught two of four targets for 37 yards in a lopsided loss, the wideout should see steady work. With reserve receiver Ashton Dulin ruled out due to an ankle injury, Downs' interior route volume remains completely secure.
Facing Kansas City as six-point road underdogs, Indianapolis likely faces a pass-heavy script that favors underneath targets. Our weekly projection slots Downs for roughly 4.2 catches on over six targets for 46 yards (10.1 fantasy points). Started in roughly 10% of leagues, he is a reasonable flex option in PPR formats for managers needing a high-floor fill-in.

Baker Mayfield vs CLE at home — Revenge narrative meets solid streaming upside
Fresh off signing a long-term contract extension, Mayfield looks to bounce back from a three-fumble opener as he hosts his former team, the Browns. Tampa Bay enters as comfortable home favorites, and he boasts a healthy pass-catching unit featuring Chris Godwin Jr., Emeka Egbuka, and Cade Otton, with Jalen McMillan also ready after logging full practice reps.
Our weekly projection expects 223 passing yards and nearly two touchdowns, totaling 16.7 fantasy points. Currently rostered in 70% of leagues but started in just 20%, Mayfield profiles as an appealing streaming candidate or high-floor Superflex starter who possesses a safe baseline with multi-touchdown upside against a Cleveland squad coming off a lopsided loss.
