Who Should I Start? Alec Pierce or Cedric Tillman

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce had another one of his trademark long catches on Sunday, recording a 39-yarder, along with a 16-yard and 19-yard reception, totaling 74 yards on his three catches. A week after seeing a season-high in targets, with the return of Michael Pittman Jr., the 24-year-old had the third-most targets on the day for the Colts with four. With the performance, the former second-round pick maintained his team-lead in receiving yards with 590, 23 yards more than Josh Downs (567). Pierce figures to see similar target share and air yards next week against the Lions which will leave him in the WR4/5 range.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Cedric Tillman turned in his slowest performance since being elevated to a full-time role last week as he caught just three passes for 47 scoreless yards in a loss to the New Orleans Saints. Tillman will look to bounce back at home against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 12's Thursday night game. The Steelers have been tough on opposing receivers this season as they are allowing the eighth-fewest fantasy points per game to the position thus far. Tillman has shown a high ceiling since taking over as a starting receiver in Cleveland, making him a strong play as a high-end WR3 heading into Week 12 despite the difficult matchup.
