Expert
Andrew Erickson FantasyPros	Alec Pierce cashed in after a breakout season, leading the Colts in receiving yards in each of the last two years while continuing to dominate as one of the NFL's premier deep threats. The 26-year-old finished as the WR23 in fantasy points per game in 2025, posting 10 games with at least 65 receiving yards and clearing 1,000 yards for the first time in his career. With Michael Pittman Jr. traded away, Pierce enters 2026 as Indianapolis' top wide receiver, although target competition from Tyler Warren and Josh Downs remains a concern. His fantasy ceiling will largely depend on the health and effectiveness of Daniel Jones, but Pierce has already shown he can produce splash weeks regardless of quarterback play.	DK Metcalf's first season in Pittsburgh largely reinforced what fantasy managers have seen over the last several years — good, not great, fantasy consistency (WR26 overall and WR24 in PPG). The Steelers receiver once again finished outside the top tier at the position, and now faces even more target competition in a new-look offense entering 2026. His role has increasingly trended toward volatile WR3 territory rather than true fantasy alpha production. With Aaron Rodgers at quarterback and additional mouths to feed, his ceiling appears lower than his reputation might suggest.
