Outlook Alec Pierce

Proven Deep-Threat Efficiency Becomes a Discounted Late-Round Dart Throw

Pierce is coming off a career-best 1,029-yard campaign in 2025, solidifying his role as Indianapolis's premier vertical weapon. Operating as an outside starter alongside veteran Keenan Allen and slot target Josh Downs, Pierce provides indispensable field-stretching capability for new quarterback Daniel Jones.

Although offseason ankle surgery kept Pierce sidelined for most of training camp, he was activated from the PUP list in late August and resumed practice ahead of Week 1. Our models project another productive output, forecasting 60 receptions, 950 yards, and six touchdowns on 110 targets.

Draft sentiment plummeted over the summer, driving his ADP down from roughly 80 in late July to the mid-130s. In 1.0 PPR formats, this sharp tumble converts Pierce from a risky mid-round pick into an appealing value steal with high-ceiling tournament upside.

Includes Detailed Projections

Outlook KC Concepcion

First-Round Pedigree and Slot Role Offer Sneaky Late-Round Upside

Drafted in the first round, Concepcion quickly carved out the starting slot role in Cleveland's offense. Offensive coordinator Todd Monken praised his composure and drew comparisons to Zay Flowers, designing plays to utilize his quickness alongside outside targets Jerry Jeudy and Denzel Boston.

Our projections anticipate an active rookie campaign, forecasting 65 receptions on 90 targets for 730 yards and three touchdowns, totaling 145.0 PPR fantasy points. While Cleveland's quarterback situation introduces week-to-week volatility, his versatile route running provides steady target upside across the middle.

Market sentiment presents a notable buying opportunity. After hovering around ADP 120 in early August, his draft price has slid toward pick 166, creating immense draft-day value. With roster rates climbing over 81%, he is a prime bench stash ready to easily outperform his late-round draft capital.
