Alec Pierce

Well, I hope you read the Primer last week and started Alec Pierce. Last week, he finished as the WR14 with a 24% target share, 115 receiving yards, and a 33.3% first-read share. This week, he is primed to have another nice outing. Like last week, he faces another single high heavy team and should exploit it. This week, he faces an Atlanta secondary that has the highest single high rate in the NFL (73.2%). Against single high, Pierce has a 27.6% target share with 3.69 yards per route run and a 32.5% first-read share. Those are elite numbers no matter how ya slice it. Since Week 5, Atlanta has allowed the 12th-most PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers. Start Pierce again this week and enjoy.

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.
