Colts' Alec Pierce: Catches late TD in loss
Alec Pierce secured four of seven targets for 81 yards and a touchdown in the Indianapolis Colts' 30-20 loss to the Bills on Sunday.Pierce recorded a team-high yardage total and checked in second in targets, an extension of a resurgent season for the third-year pro. Pierce also tallied his career-high fourth touchdown of the campaign on a 10-yard pass from Joe Flacco with two seconds remaining, a score that still carried plenty of meaning for fantasy managers. Pierce benefited from the absence of Michael Pittman (back) in Sunday's game, but he should continue in a solid complementary role at minimum even if Pittman returns for a Week 11 road matchup against the Jets.

Colts' Alec Pierce: Makes three catches in loss
Alec Pierce caught all three of his targets for 41 yards in Sunday's 21-13 loss to the Vikings.Pierce's 41 receiving yards were second on the team behind Josh Downs' 60, while no other teammate had more than 22. After posting 368 receiving yards and three touchdowns on 17 targets through Week 5, Pierce has cooled off with only 67 yards and no touchdowns on 16 targets over the last four games. Getting back on track won't be easy in Week 10 against a Bills defense that tends to limit the big downfield plays on which Pierce thrives.

Colts' Alec Pierce: Two receptions in win
Alec Pierce had two receptions for 15 yards on five targets in Sunday's win over Miami.It was a bounce-back performance after he didn't have a catch or target in a Week 6 win at Tennessee. However, he could have had a better game if not for a drop on a wide open, easy target. Pierce remains one of Anthony Richardson's favorite targets but is going to be a boom-or-bust option for fantasy purposes each week as is he's mostly a deep threat in the offense.

Colts' Alec Pierce: Suiting up Sunday
Alec Pierce (shoulder) is active for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.Pierce missed practice Thursday due to the shoulder issue, and despite taking a questionable tag into the weekend, he cleared up most of the concern about his health by turning in a full practice Friday. He'll be available Sunday along with fellow wideouts Michael Pittman (back) and Josh Downs (toe) -- who were also listed as questionable -- with Pierce likely to serve as a downfield threat for strong-armed quarterback Anthony Richardson. With 368 receiving yards and three touchdowns through six games, Pierce has fared well with both Richardson and Joe Flacco under center, but he's achieved his production on a likely unsustainable 17.5 yards per target. With steady involvement in the passing game not guaranteed, Pierce profiles as a boom-or-bust fantasy option, with his weekly utility likely hinging on him finding the end zone or making a huge play downfield.

Colts' Alec Pierce: Likely to play Sunday
Alec Pierce (shoulder) is listed as questionable but is expected to play Sunday against the Dolphins, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.Pierce got in a full practice Friday but still ended up taking a designation into the weekend. On top of Pierce, both Michael Pittman (back) and Josh Downs (toe) are expected to play against the Dolphins, despite also being listed as questionable. Pierce has been a big-play machine through six weeks, producing a massive 13-368-3 receiving line, but he's done it on relatively low volume (21 targets). Pierce is a low-floor, high-ceiling fantasy bet.

Colts' Alec Pierce: One of three questionable Colts WRs
Alec Pierce (shoulder) was a full participant in practice Friday but is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.Pierce, Josh Downs (toe) and Michael Pittman (back) all are listed as questionable. Coach Shane Steichen said Pittman will play despite logging a DNP on Friday, and Pierce also looks more likely than not to suit up, while Downs' status is up in the air after Friday's limited session. Of the Indianapolis Colts' top three wide receivers, Pierce will likely be the least negatively impacted by Anthony Richardson's (oblique) return under center Sunday, as Pierce has shown good downfield chemistry with both Richardson and Joe Flacco.

Colts' Alec Pierce: No receptions in win
Alec Pierce had four targets but did not have a reception or carry in Sunday's win at Tennessee.Joe Flacco tried several times to connect with Pierce on deep passes but missed. Pierce is mostly a deep threat in the offense, so he's going to be a boom-or-bust option for fantasy purposes each week. However, he's reached 100-yard performances with both Anthony Richardson and Joe Flacco at quarterback, so he should figure into the mix regardless of who starts next week against Miami.
