Who Should I Start? Alec Pierce or Andre Baccellia

The early projection is "eight to 10" targets a game for Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce in 2026, according to Stephen Holder of ESPN. The Colts re-signed Pierce on Monday to a four-year, $116 million contract after he led the team with 1,003 receiving yards and six touchdowns on 47 receptions in 2025. Sources say that the 25-year-old turned down offers from other teams that would have surpassed his deal with the Colts by a "substantive amount." Pierce preferred familiarity and to keep his connection going with quarterback Daniel Jones (Achilles). The Colts traded away Michael Pittman Jr. on Monday, too, so Pierce will be Indy's unquestioned No. 1 wideout in 2026 after his breakout performance last season. Posting a second straight 1,000-yard season might not be easy, but Pierce has solidified himself as a big-play threat for fantasy managers after leading the NFL in yards per catch in each of the last two seasons.
