Expert Note
View More NotesIn Week 1, Alec Pierce had a 58.5% snap rate and 64.7% route share, which is about where I figured he'd be coming off a lost training camp and preseason as he made his way back from injury and surgery in the offseason. Pierce tied for the team lead with a 19.4% target share (27% TPRR, led the team) and led the team with a 31.6% first-read share. He had a 17.1 aDOT, which I don't think will continue throughout the season if he's going to continue to operate as the team's WR1. Pierce finished with 61 receiving yards (2.77 YPRR), one red zone target, and one deep target as the WR34 for the week. Pierce should see his playing time increase slightly in Week 2 as the team continues to ramp him up. He could be a volume-based flex/WR3 for Week 2 with a tough matchup. In Week 1, Kansas City allowed the 12th-fewest fantasy points per target and the second-fewest yards per target to perimeter wide receivers.

Fantasy Impact
Pierce missed Indianapolis' practice on Thursday, but it looks like that was just for injury maintenance, as he was back and a full participant for them at practice on Friday. He carries no injury designation heading into the weekend and will play on Sunday night, although it remains quite possible that he will continue to have minor limitations while the team ramps his workload back up.
