Outlook Alec Pierce

Alec Pierce at Kansas City — Deep-Threat Flex in a Negative Game Script

Pierce was removed from the injury report after fully practicing Friday, clearing him of heel concerns ahead of Sunday's matchup in Kansas City. Starting on the outside opposite Keenan Allen, Pierce should see consistent perimeter routes with backup Ashton Dulin ruled out. Coming off a four-catch, 61-yard opener, his snap volume is poised to expand.

As six-point road underdogs, Indianapolis likely faces a pass-heavy script to keep pace. Our weekly projection pegs Pierce for 3.5 receptions and 58.4 yards on over six targets (11.4 fantasy points). Fantasy managers should view him as a viable Flex/Stream option with high-ceiling upside if he hits on a signature downfield strike.
