Ian Hartitz advises fantasy managers to sit Alec Pierce until he proves he has a full-time role, citing his limited practice participation throughout the week and the need to see him look healthy after missing training camp.NegativeInjurySep 8, 2026
Ian Hartitz flags Alec Pierce as a concern heading into Week 1, noting uncertainty about whether he will be on a pitch count due to injury. Later ranked WR47, Hartitz expresses conditional optimism: he wants to see Pierce look 100% healthy, haul in a deep ball with Daniel Jones playing well, and the Achilles not bothering him. If these conditions are met, Hartitz says he will apologize for doubting the Colts offense.NegativeInjurySep 6, 2026

Ian Hartitz ranks Matthew Golden ahead of Alec Pierce, noting that Pierce is currently dealing with an ankle injury that impacts his fantasy value.NegativeInjuryJul 24, 2026
Alec Pierce is recovering from ankle surgery that occurred in April, followed by a forced follow-up surgery pushing into August. This timeline creates significant uncertainty for his Week 1 availability and directly impacts target distribution across the Colts WR room. If Pierce is not fully healthy by Week 1, the Colts are likely to add an outside receiver (potentially Keenan Allen) to mitigate risk, which would dampen target projections for Josh Downs and Tyler Warren.PositiveMatchupNo date
Ian Hartitz identifies Alec Pierce as a player returning from an ankle injury, making him a target for opposing defenses in Week 1.NegativeRoleNo date
Ian Hartitz is skeptical about Alec Pierce's ability to step into a larger role following Michael Pittman Jr.'s contract extension. Pierce is currently recovering from March ankle surgery and has missed training camp time, leading Hartitz to worry about his readiness for Week 1 and his ability to serve as a primary field-stretching threat.NegativeInjuryNo date
Alec Pierce started training camp on the PUP list with an ankle injury requiring surgery in April. While expected to return sooner rather than later and likely miss little to no regular season time, the April surgery timing is concerning. Coming back from an ankle injury as a field stretcher is not ideal, especially given he was supposed to get more involved in the offense and run more routes but hasn't had the opportunity to build chemistry with Daniel Jones, who is also recovering from an Achilles injury.
