Who Should I Start? Alec Pierce or De'Von Achane

Tuesday, October 21, 2:44 PM

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce has had at least four catches and 65 yards in three of his five games played this season, and he is coming off a season-high five catches for 98 yards against the Chargers. While he has yet to find the endzone in 2025, he's seen increasing involvement in a Colts offense that has been historically good through seven weeks. Likely, he's already rostered, but he is a priority waiver add wherever he's still available, as he's virtually guaranteed at least one big play per game. Only once in his five games has he failed to bring in a catch of at least 25 yards, and his 21.1-yard average depth of target trails only Tyquan Thornton. He should continue to provide an untraditional floor, with the potential for a huge game if he's able to pop one for a score.

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane has been one of the top running backs all season despite his team's offensive inconsistencies. Achane had his best game of the season last week, racking up 128 rushing yards, two rushing touchdowns, four catches, and 22 receiving yards in his team's narrow loss to the Chargers. He has six touchdowns in his six games this season, averaging 65 rushing yards and 32.5 passing yards per game. He's had a total of 10 catches in the last two weeks without Tyreek Hill (knee) available, and he should remain very involved and productive as both a rusher and receiver as the Dolphins go to Cleveland to take on the Browns. Even though the Browns have allowed the second-fewest fantasy points to running backs this season, Achane's volume and production are enough to still make him the RB6 in RotoBaller's Week 7 rankings.
