Alec Pierce

This doesn't line up well as another strong Alec Pierce week. Pierce has been the Colts' field-stretching single-high destroyer all season. Since Week 10, the Jags have allowed the eighth-lowest passer rating while ranking 16th in adjusted completion rate when defending downfield passing. Also, since Week 10, they have utilized two high at the fifth-highest rate (58.8%). Against two high, Pierce has had an 11.3% target share, 1.44 yards per route run, and a 14.9% first-read share. Working in Pierce's favor is the fact that the Jags have been horrible against perimeter wide receivers recently. Since Week 9, the Jags have allowed the tenth-most fantasy points per game and the 11th-most receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers. This could help Pierce pop off with a splash play or two, but I don't believe this is a ceiling game for Pierce.

Alec Pierce caught 4-of-5 targets for 78 yards and a touchdown in the Colts 20-16 loss against the Texans.

Fantasy Impact

Pierce was able to go up and high point a pass from Daniel Jones for an impressive touchdown. He also had a couple other big catches. He remains a steady WR3/flex option for fantasy managers.
