Alec Pierce News
Saturday, August 29, 9:08 AM
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce (ankle) participated in warmups but won't play in the preseason finale against the Detroit Lions, Mike Chappell reported on Saturday. The fourth-year wideout came off the Physically Unable to Perform list last week and practiced with the team for the first time on Thursday since having offseason ankle surgery. Pierce is reportedly shooting for a Week 1 return as he looks to repeat his 2025 success, having set career highs with 47 receptions for 1,003 yards and six touchdowns. The 26-year-old has the opportunity to capitalize on those numbers by inheriting a larger workload now that Michael Pittman Jr. has departed for the Pittsburgh Steelers. However, fantasy managers should temper their expectations early in the season since it is unclear how long it will take Pierce to get up to speed after missing training camp. Pierce's fantasy stock is on the rise, but he should be considered a W4/flex option until he's fully healthy.

Carnell Tate News
Thursday, August 27, 9:30 AM
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Carnell Tate had a much-needed productive day in Thursday's joint practice with Chicago. AtoZ Sports Nashville reported that Cam Ward found Tate on a back-shoulder throw down the sideline to open a move-the-ball period, then hit him for a red-zone touchdown. Tate also got open for another potential score, but Ward missed the throw. The No. 4 overall pick has been one of Tennessee's more noticeable practice players this summer, including a three-touchdown day earlier in August, but none of it has shown up in preseason games yet. Tate has been targeted five times through two exhibitions without a catch. He also missed one practice last week because of stiffness before returning two days later. Thursday was a better snapshot of what Tennessee has been seeing from Tate in camp. He has started with the first-team offense this preseason and remains positioned for a significant role alongside Calvin Ridley and Wan'Dale Robinson.
