Who Should I Start? Alec Pierce or Dax Milne

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce (rib) practiced in full all week and doesn't carry an injury designation heading into Sunday's clash with the Seahawks. Pierce finished the 2024 campaign with seven touchdowns, a career-high. However, he has only scored twice this season. While the decline in trips to the end zone is a significant concern, he at least appears well on his way to having his best year in terms of receptions and receiving yards. With Indy desperately trying to remain in the postseason conversation, the team will look for a win over Seattle on Sunday. The Seahawks have one of the most formidable defenses in the National Football League, which would make life difficult for anyone. Yet, it may be an even tougher week for Pierce and the rest of the pass-catchers, considering Philip Rivers or Riley Leonard (knee) will take over in place of Daniel Jones (Achilles), who will miss the remainder of the year. With that in mind, Pierce isn't the safest fantasy option by any means in Week 15, so managers might want to consider other options, especially with Jonathan Taylor rumored to be more involved than usual.

The Carolina Panthers released wide receiver Dax Milne on Thursday, along with another slew of roster cuts. The 2021 seventh-round pick by the Washington Commanders out of BYU spent most of last season on Carolina's practice squad following stints in Washington and Las Vegas. Overall, the 25-year-old has played in 28 career games (none since 2022), racking up 15 receptions for 120 yards and one touchdown. He also has 40 career punt returns and 15 career kickoff returns. Based on his inability to crack an active roster and his early-offseason release, it would be a surprise if he makes an impact for a team anytime soon.
