Alec Pierce Fantasy Football Outlook (2026)

By Andrew Erickson (FantasyPros), Mon, May 18th 2026, 12:03pm EDT

Alec Pierce cashed in after a breakout season, leading the Colts in receiving yards in each of the last two years while continuing to dominate as one of the NFL's premier deep threats. The 26-year-old finished as the WR23 in fantasy points per game in 2025, posting 10 games with at least 65 receiving yards and clearing 1,000 yards for the first time in his career. With Michael Pittman Jr. traded away, Pierce enters 2026 as Indianapolis' top wide receiver, although target competition from Tyler Warren and Josh Downs remains a concern. His fantasy ceiling will largely depend on the health and effectiveness of Daniel Jones, but Pierce has already shown he can produce splash weeks regardless of quarterback play.
