Should You Start or Sit Alec Pierce in Week 15?
Playing in the thin air of Denver, potentially lining up across Pat Surtain II, and relying on Anthony Richardson’s right arm — Pierce’s profile isn’t very easy to support with confidence this weekend.
Maybe the bye week ups the creativity of the Colts’ offense, and they put Pierce in a position to win downfield. But are you comfortable in betting your fantasy season on Richardson cashing in such an opportunity?
The burner has just three catches on 10 targets over his past two games. I have concerns when it comes to efficiency, volume, and scoring equity. Outside of that, Pierce is a great play.
Christian Watson (at SEA) and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine (vs. CIN) are two deep-ball receivers I prefer over Pierce this week, with Wan’Dale Robinson (vs. BAL) and DeMario Douglas (at ARI) checking in as “boring” options who I have much more confidence in over Indy’s riskiest option.
