WR32 ADP bust with 47 career-high catches; ankle surgery sidelines him from OTAs.
Alec Pierce is a bust pick at WR32 ADP in redraft. Despite being talented as a real-life receiver, Pierce is a field stretcher who relies on deep bombs; he had only 47 receptions in 2025 (his career high through four years in the league) and has never had a 50-catch season. The source is skeptical that a player can go four straight years without 50 catches and finish as a top-32 WR. Four of Pierce's six touchdowns and his two best weekly finishes came after Daniel Jones was injured, meaning Pierce performed better without a healthy Jones. Now Jones is returning from a torn Achilles, which the source does not want to bet on for consistent deep ball production. The nail in the coffin is Pierce's ankle injury and offseason surgery; he has not participated in OTAs or minicamp, and the Colts have been cryptic about his return timeline. For a player who relies on elite speed and explosiveness, ankle problems are a major red flag.
