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.

Chris Rodriguez is comfortable taking Alec Pierce at pick 91, noting that the price is 'fully priced in' and that he is already invested in the Indianapolis Colts offense through Tyler Warren at pick 67; Rodriguez sees no injury concerns and feels good about the value despite the Colts stack. Pierce is rostered as the fourth wide receiver (WR4) in the mock draft construction, part of a wide receiver room built around JSN, DeVonta Smith, and Garrett Wilson.

JJ Zachariason is shocked the market is not higher on Alec Pierce, noting he expected to be lower on him but finds him at a completely reasonable price on most platforms. Pierce is still falling in ADP, and Zachariason expects the injury to be a one-to-two week issue. If Pierce is not ready by season start despite the Colts' contract investment, it would represent a significant organizational fumble. For those hedging across multiple leagues, Zachariason suggests drafting Josh Downs or Tyler Warren as value alternatives.

NegativeDepth ChartJul 30, 2026Stampede Blue
Alec Pierce is currently out of training camp commission for the next week or so, creating a depth chart opening at the Colts' outside receiver position. The projected starters on the outside opposite of Pierce, when he's fully healthy, are currently Ashton Dulin and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine. The Colts' potential interest in Chase Claypool is partly motivated by the need for a wide receiver upgrade along the outside given Pierce's temporary absence.

Colts WR. Contract comparison: 'I mean what else were the Saints gonna do after Alex Pierce got 84M guaranteed lol.' Mentioned as context for Olave's contract value. Also noted: 'Alec Pierce got 4/114' in broader WR contract inflation discussion. Colts fan comment: 'people so high on Alec, be careful. He's a one trick pony. And being WR1 and getting the best CBs every game is not pretty.' Limited fantasy discussion; primarily contract context.

#Colts WR Alec Pierce (left ankle surgery) is out here watching practice. Currently playing a little catch with WRs coach Reggie Wayne on the sideline. Not walking with a limp like he was in the spring, so I’d think that’s a sign he’s making progress.
