Armchair Quarterback Fantasy Football League

2024 RTSports Outlook

Pierce started most of his rookie season opposite Michael Pittman and did fine in that role. He had 41 receptions for 593 yards in 16 games, including 12 starts. Pierce had four games with double-digit fantasy points. The entire Colts passing attack struggled, though, so Pierce was hit or miss throughout his rookie season. A new quarterback should be a positive for Pierce going forward. He should continue to start and make more strides in year two. Pierce is a very physical receiver that uses his size and strength to his advantage. He isn't a polished route runner but can help make up for that because of his physical attributes. Pierce also can stretch the field because of his speed and strength. He can do a little bit of everything.

FANTASY OUTLOOK: Pierce is a good depth option for fantasy teams. He could take a decent step forward in year two, producing better fantasy numbers. Pierce is likely a solid spot starter. He could get around 60 receptions for 900 yards and five touchdowns.

Player Notes

Jan 1 12:20am ET

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce took his only target of the day for a 58-yard touchdown in the team's 23-20 win against the Las Vegas Raiders. The touchdown came late in the first half, which would make for his only catch of the game. Pierce has been an underwhelming fantasy option this season, as today's win marked just the second time he's posted a double-digit fantasy outing. Pierce will look to remain involved in the team's Week 18 matchup against the Houston Texans but is largely off the fantasy radar for that contest.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce had his best outing of the season in the team's Week 13 win against the Tennessee Titans. Pierce served as a big play threat for quarterback Gardner Minshew, reeling in three catches for 100 total yards and a touchdown. Pierce has been quiet this season, averaging a total of 26 yards per game before last week. The second-year receiver has seen plenty of playing time, as he has seen a 95% snap share this season. He now gets ready to face a Cincinnati Bengals secondary who are allowing the sixth-most receiving yards per game. Fantasy managers can look to include Pierce as a potential flex/WR4 option after his most recent showing.

A surprise name coming out of Indy's 31-28 overtime win against the Tennessee Titans was Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce. Pierce caught three of his six targets for a whopping 100 yards and a touchdown. Pierce served as the big play threat for Indy, catching a 39-yard touchdown early in the game and then a 55-yard reception in overtime to help Indy seal the win. Pierce has largely been off the fantasy radar this season, as he has not had a game this year where he has eclipsed 60 yards before today. The second-year receiver could be an intriguing waiver wire pickup for this week, and likely only worth a start in deeper formats for their Week 14 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Indianapolis' WR Alec Pierce had 3 receptions for 100 yards with one touchdown in Sunday's win in Tennessee.

Nov 27 12:20pm ET

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce caught four of his six targets for 27 yards in Week 12's 27-20 win over the visiting Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday. The second-year wideout improved over his one-catch outing in Week 10 against the New England Patriots, but his performance was still disappointing nonetheless in a game in which quarterback Gardner Minshew threw the pigskin 41 times. Both Michael Pittman Jr. and rookie Josh Downs had 13 targets apiece, leaving little else for the rest of the team's pass-catchers. Pierce's six targets were third on the team. As long as Downs is healthy and active, Pierce is hard to recommend as a WR4/flex in standard-sized fantasy leagues. He has yet to score in 2023 and has gone over 50 receiving yards just once (in Week 7).
