Alec Pierce

Alec Pierce is going to get paid. He finished 2025 with career highs in catches (47), yards (1,003). But he was also solid in 2024 (827 yards on 37 receptions). Led the Colts in receiving yards for 2 straight years (and NFL in yards/reception).
Michael Pittman Jr./Josh Downs/Jonathan Taylor are entering the final years of their deals in 2026. Pierce could get a bag from the Colts or another team in free agency.

Alec Pierce and the Indianapolis Colts are in discussions to keep the breakout wide receiver in Indianapolis for at least the 2026 season. Negotiations are expected to continue this week as Pierce is eligible to hit free agency in March.

Fantasy Impact

If Pierce hits the open market, he'll be one of the most coveted wide receivers in free agency. The fourth-year wideout led the league in yards per catch (21.3) for the second consecutive season and finished the year with his first 1,000-yard season in 2025. He caught 47 passes for 1,003 yards - both career-highs - and six touchdowns. Pierce is expected to garner more than $20 million per year. A franchise or transition tag is also in play, which would cost $25 million. Still only 25, Pierce is certainly a name to watch over the next few days.
