Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce turned in a quiet outing in a Week 12 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, catching just one of his two targets for 26 yards. Overall, Pierce has been a solid fantasy producer this season, catching 29 passes for 611 yards and one touchdown in nine games. Pierce will look to stay productive in a Week 13 home matchup against the Houston Texans. The Texans have been tough on opposing wideouts, allowing just the 29th-most fantasy points per game to the position. With a 21.1 yards per catch average, Pierce offers intriguing boom potential in fantasy, which keeps him in the conversation as a WR3 in Week 13 despite the difficult matchup.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce put up a dud in his team's Week 12 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, recording just one catch for 26 yards on two targets. It was a disappointing result for the 25-year-old, as he had been showing signs of a breakout before the team's Week 11 bye. Across nine games this season, Pierce leads the NFL in yards per reception (21.1). At the same time, he's averaging a career-best six targets per game. Across four games before Indianapolis' Week 11 bye, Pierce's target rate had spiked even higher to 8.8 per contest. While Week 12 showcases that Pierce can still have bust weeks, he also holds explosive upside. Pierce should remain a waiver-wire priority in fantasy leagues with 12 or more teams heading into his Week 13 matchup against the Houston Texans.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce will come out of his Week 11 bye to take on the Kansas City Chiefs on the road in Week 12. Pierce has enjoyed a mini-breakout in 2025, catching 28 passes for 585 yards and one touchdown in eight games, putting him on pace to set new career highs in catches and receiving yards. The veteran wideout would be garnering more notoriety, but he has only scored one touchdown despite averaging 20.9 yards per catch. Pierce is due for some positive regression in the scoring department, but remains a solid flex option in all fantasy leagues even without the TDs. Fantasy managers can insert him into starting lineups in Week 12, despite a tough matchup against a KC defense that is allowing just the 27th-most fantasy points per game to the position.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce has become a trustworthy option for fantasy managers this season. In eight games, Pierce has hauled in 28 of 52 targets for 585 yards and a touchdown, averaging 9.8 half-PPR points per game. As of late, Pierce has been dominant, leading the NFL in receiving yards (366) from Week 7 to Week 10. His connection with Daniel Jones has been on point this season, and the Colts' offensive performance has opened more big-play opportunities for the deep threat receiver. However, he faces a very tough matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs, who have allowed the fewest receiving yards to wide receivers in 2025. While a tough matchup causes a lot more risk, Pierce is worth starting as a WR3/FLEX play in Week 12.

Before his team's Week 11 bye, Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce appeared to be on a clear upward trajectory. Across four games from Week 7 to Week 10, the 25-year-old recorded 17 catches for 366 yards and a touchdown on 35 targets. Pierce has always been a big-play threat, averaging 18.2 yards per reception across 57 career games. However, his 6.5 target-per-game average in 2025 is a career-high and represents a change in his role within the Indianapolis offense. If he can continue to marry explosiveness with more consistent target volume, Pierce could be a true breakout wide receiver down the stretch of the season. In fantasy leagues where he may have been dropped during his bye week, Pierce is a must-add player off the waiver wire, even as the Colts head into a difficult Week 12 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs.

ESPN's Matt Bowen and Jeremy Fowler wrote about their 2026 NFL free agency early top-25 ranking and predictions. Alec Pierce has been on fire the last few weeks and is averaging a league-best 20.9 yards per catch. He can take the top off the defence and lift safeties to create opportunities in open coverages underneath. In eight healthy games played this season, he has 585 receiving yards on 28 receptions and one touchdown. Teams that Fowler and Bowen have spoken to anticipate that Pierce will be looking at a ballpark of $20 million per year, or at least a number of that magnitude not being out of the question. He has the size and speed that make him a player who can be a valuable asset for teams in the market for a wide receiver. We will see how things play out for Pierce, but he is on a trajectory that is setting him up to be a winner in the offseason.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce hauled in four of seven targets for 84 yards and a touchdown in the team's 31-25 overtime victory over the Atlanta Falcons. Pierce continued to build strong chemistry with quarterback Daniel Jones, logging a season-high 94.8% snap share and finding the end zone for the first time in 2025. Over his last four games, Pierce has averaged an impressive 91.5 receiving yards per game, which leads the NFL since Week 7. As the Colts head into their bye week, the emerging deep threat will look to continue his breakout campaign when they face the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 12.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce caught four of his seven targets for 84 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's Week 10 win over the Atlanta Falcons in overtime. Pierce has quietly emerged as one of Daniel Jones' top targets lately, hauling in 17 passes for 366 yards and one touchdown over his last four games. It's no secret that Indianapolis' offense revolves around Jonathan Taylor, but Pierce has established himself as a significant threat when the Colts pass the ball. He'll enjoy a Week 11 bye before returning to action as a solid fantasy WR3 in Week 12 against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce is coming off his best game of the season, catching six of 13 targets for 115 yards in a 27-20 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Pierce has been a big-play machine in 2025, averaging 20.9 yards per catch, although he surprisingly is still looking for his first touchdown of the season. He will look to find the end zone in a Week 10 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons in Berlin, Germany. The Falcons have done a good job limiting opposing receivers this season, allowing just the 26th-most fantasy points per game to the position thus far. That being said, the Colts have been explosive on offense and should be able to move the ball on Sunday. Fantasy gamers can treat Pierce as a boom/bust flex option in Week 10.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce has almost exclusively been known as a downfield pass-catcher throughout his career. Across his first three NFL seasons, Pierce averaged 4.3 targets per game and 17.6 yards per reception. Now in his fourth season, Pierce is still making big plays. However, there are signs that Indianapolis is viewing him as a more well-rounded wide receiver. Through his first seven games played in 2025, Pierce is averaging 6.4 targets per contest. He's been particularly involved in recent weeks with 28 targets over his last three games played. Pierce has yet to find the end zone this season, but he scored seven touchdowns across 16 games in 2024. Heading into a Week 10 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons, Pierce should be rostered in all fantasy leagues with 12 or more teams.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce recorded six catches for 115 yards on a career-high 13 targets in his team's Week 9 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Pierce has now earned double-digit targets in two out of his last three games and has reached at least 67 receiving yards in five out of the seven games he's been healthy for this season. The 25-year-old has established himself as one of the NFL's premier downfield weapons, as he's currently leading the league in yards per reception (20.9) for the second straight season. Additionally, Pierce's recent bump in target volume could be a sign that the Colts are trusting him to be a more well-rounded wide receiver. It's worth noting that Colts quarterback Daniel Jones attempted 50 passes in Week 9, a trend unlikely to continue. Still, Pierce profiles as a high-upside fantasy WR3/4 and could be a player to target on the waiver wire heading into a Week 10 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons.

Colts' WR Alec Pierce had 6 receptions for 115 yards but no touchdowns in Sunday's loss in Pittsburgh.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce has been a big-play machine for his team in 2025. With 386 yards on just 18 receptions, Pierce's 21.4 yards per reception leads the NFL. That being said, Pierce is still looking for his first touchdown of the year after finding the end zone seven times in 2024. Pierce draws an interesting Week 9 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers on the road. The Steelers are allowing the sixth-most fantasy points per game to receivers this season. Pierce isn't a safe play due to his typical low volume in the passing game, but he is worth a look as a boom/bust flex option in deeper leagues.
