Deep Threat Cleared for Season Opener in a High-Scoring Environment
Head coach Shane Steichen confirmed Pierce is ready to roll for the opener against Baltimore following his recovery from offseason ankle surgery. After missing months due to the March procedure, he steadily ramped up in practice and is slated to start on the outside opposite veteran newcomer Keenan Allen.
Though rostered in 97% of leagues, only 21% of managers are actively starting him given the injury layoff. Our models project Pierce for about 3 receptions and 53 yards on 6 targets against the Ravens. In an anticipated high-scoring matchup where the Colts could chase points, Pierce offers volatile WR3/flex upside.

Chris Bell at Las Vegas — Rookie Easing In After Knee Recovery
Rookie wideout Chris Bell enters Week 1 fully cleared after working back from an offseason knee injury. Although listed behind Jalen Tolbert on the perimeter depth chart with Malik Willis under center, Bell's activation off the non-football injury list puts him in position to make his NFL debut on the road in Las Vegas.
With an 8% roster rate and essentially zero starting lineups, fantasy managers are rightly taking a wait-and-see approach. Our models project Bell for roughly 1.5 receptions and 18 receiving yards in a low-scoring road matchup. He should be left on the bench or treated as a dynasty stash until his weekly target share becomes clearer.
