From the episode

Alec Pierce has never had a higher than a 16% target share in this offense, by the way, when he's been health. So now he's coming off of not having a training camp and it's going to be looked at to be that guy.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalUsage

Pierce's injury and lack of target volume history create concern for his WR1 role.

Alec Pierce faces significant pressure to step into a primary receiver role following Michael Pittman's departure, but he is currently dealing with an injury that threatens his availability for Week 1. He has never exceeded a 16% target share and missed critical training camp time needed to expand his route tree.
