2024 Fantasy Outlook
Pierce has averaged 554 yards and two touchdowns in his two years with the Colts. In each year, the quarterback play has been questionable. In his career, the receiver has been frequently used as a deep threat. That’s a role that Pierce could retain in 2024. However, the team drafted Adonai Mitchell, and if the rookie has a solid training camp, it may be a formality that Mitchell takes over the starting role and relegates Pierce to No. 4 receiver duties. If Pierce somehow holds onto the starting role and Anthony Richardson stays healthy, Pierce has the potential to build on his early-career numbers. Ultimately, it would seem that Mitchell will win the starting role at some point. As a result, Pierce may not be in position to see regular targets. Read Past Outlooks
RANKS
Concussion confirmed
Pierce has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game at Denver due to a concussion, Nate Atkins of The Indianapolis Star reports.
ANALYSIS
Pierce was targeted on a deep ball by QB Anthony Richardson late in the first half, hitting the ground hard while attempting to haul in the pass and going directly to the locker room afterward. With a concussion confirmed for Pierce, he'll finish Week 16 with no catches on his four targets. Ashton Dulin (ankle) is inactive Sunday, so Adonai Mitchell and Anthony Gould are the tertiary WR options in the Colts offense behind Michael Pittman and Josh Downs.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
Pierce started 12 of his 16 games as a second-round rookie last year and accounted for nearly as many deep targets (15) as every other Colts wideout combined (18). He caught seven of those for 243 yards and a TD, demonstrating his 4.41 speed at times, but managed only 350 yards on his 63 targets within 20 yards of the line of scrimmage. And while he'll soon play with strong-armed rookie Anthony Richardson -- possibly Week 1 -- it's unclear if Richardson has the accuracy or Pierce the route-running skills to turn it into a potent connection. The 6-3 wideout at least is in good position to retain a perimeter starting role across from Michael Pittman, as third-round rookie Josh Downs and free-agent signing Isaiah McKenzie mostly figure to compete for slot snaps.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Heavier workload for Week 10
With Michael Pittman ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bills due to back and finger injuries, quarterback Joe Flacco is expected to lean more heavily on Pierce and Josh Downs in the passing game, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Pierce's production has been inconsistent through the first nine games of the regular season. Despite having five games in which he caught two passes or less, Pierce has two 100-yard performances and leads the Colts with 435 receiving yards on 19 receptions with three touchdowns. Pierce, Downs and rookie Adonai Mitchell should be on the field for three-wideout sets Sunday with Pittman sidelined.
