Yahoo Fantasy Football on Alec Pierce

Pierce's ankle surgery and limited target history make him a proactive fade.

Pierce is a ridiculous deep threat, leading the NFL in yards per catch two straight seasons, which landed him a juicy extension. But the Colts have been reluctant to force the ball to Pierce (he's never had more than 84 targets) or expand his route tree. He's also coming off ankle surgery, aiming to fix a problem that dogged him the last two years. It's remarkable that Pierce has been this dynamic while not being 100% over this span, but the source assumes he's not at full throttle to open the fresh season and can't draft him proactively.
