Nope, not if it's fully off. Instant-On mode is a workaround.

Yes, you can! Go to settings, put your Xbox One on Instant-On mode, and it’ll download stuff even when it’s off. Magic, right?

Absolutely! I do this all the time. Just enable Instant-On mode in the power settings and your games will download while the console is off.
