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 5 of 8 targets for 80 yards in Sunday's loss to the Jaguars.

Fantasy Impact

Pierce continues to produce for the Colts. The speedy receiver has finished with 78 yards or more and at least four grabs in four of his last five games. Pierce has also hit paydirt twice in that stretch. Even though he's been playing well, the entire Colts' receiving corps could take a downturn if Daniel Jones' achilles injury turns out as significant as feared.
