2024 Fantasy Outlook
Pierce has averaged 554 yards and two touchdowns in his two years with the Colts. In each year, the quarterback play has been questionable. In his career, the receiver has been frequently used as a deep threat. That’s a role that Pierce could retain in 2024. However, the team drafted Adonai Mitchell, and if the rookie has a solid training camp, it may be a formality that Mitchell takes over the starting role and relegates Pierce to No. 4 receiver duties. If Pierce somehow holds onto the starting role and Anthony Richardson stays healthy, Pierce has the potential to build on his early-career numbers. Ultimately, it would seem that Mitchell will win the starting role at some point. As a result, Pierce may not be in position to see regular targets. Read Past Outlooks

Long catch aids game-winning drive
Pierce caught three of four targets for 74 yards in Sunday's 28-27 win over the Jets.
ANALYSIS
The majority of Pierce's yardage came on a 39-yard catch on the last Colts possession, which set up Anthony Richardson's game-winning rushing touchdown in the final minute. Pierce's ability to make big gains down the field has been his calling card all season, as he came into Sunday's game leading all qualified receivers with 22.4 yards per catch. He needs just three receiving yards in Week 12 against the Lions to match his career high of 593 from his rookie season in 2022.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
Pierce started 12 of his 16 games as a second-round rookie last year and accounted for nearly as many deep targets (15) as every other Colts wideout combined (18). He caught seven of those for 243 yards and a TD, demonstrating his 4.41 speed at times, but managed only 350 yards on his 63 targets within 20 yards of the line of scrimmage. And while he'll soon play with strong-armed rookie Anthony Richardson -- possibly Week 1 -- it's unclear if Richardson has the accuracy or Pierce the route-running skills to turn it into a potent connection. The 6-3 wideout at least is in good position to retain a perimeter starting role across from Michael Pittman, as third-round rookie Josh Downs and free-agent signing Isaiah McKenzie mostly figure to compete for slot snaps.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Heavier workload for Week 10
With Michael Pittman ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bills due to back and finger injuries, quarterback Joe Flacco is expected to lean more heavily on Pierce and Josh Downs in the passing game, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Pierce's production has been inconsistent through the first nine games of the regular season. Despite having five games in which he caught two passes or less, Pierce has two 100-yard performances and leads the Colts with 435 receiving yards on 19 receptions with three touchdowns. Pierce, Downs and rookie Adonai Mitchell should be on the field for three-wideout sets Sunday with Pittman sidelined.
