Alec Pierce

Well, Alec Pierce did it again. Pierce's exploits against single-high coverage have been well covered in this article in previous weeks. Last week, Pierce faced a Falcons secondary that utilizes single-high coverage at the highest rate in the NFL, and Pierce soaked up a 26.9% target share and churned out 84 receiving yards and a score. He entered Week 10 with a 27.6% target share, 3.69 yards per route run and a 32.5% first-read share against single-high coverage, per Fantasy Points Data. Pierce should continue to eat in the weeks to come. Looking at the Colts' remaining schedule, the only defense that doesn't deploy single-high on 50% of their snaps (or more) is Seattle. Pierce will have plenty of spike weeks to conclude the season that can help tilt fantasy matchups in your favor.

Alec Pierce caught 4 of 7 targets for 84 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-25 win over the Falcons.

Fantasy Impact

Pierce continues to be the big-play man in the Colts' passing game of late, and he finally found the end zone for the first time this season on Sunday. Over the last four games, Pierce has averaged 21.5 yards on his 17 total receptions, finishing with a minimum of 69 yards during that span. Pierce cannot be overlooked at wide receiver in any fantasy league.
