Alec Pierce News

Alec Pierce a WR5 vs. Denver

Saturday, September 13, 8:20 AM

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce will host the Denver Broncos in Week 2 after enjoying a blowout win over the Miami Dolphins in Week 1. Pierce was mostly quiet, catching just one of his three targets for a 36-yard gain in the contest. The veteran will look for more work in a tough matchup against a Broncos secondary that shut down the Tennessee Titans pass-catchers in Week 1. Pierce can be very boom/bust, but is not a recommended fantasy option unless desperate in Week 2.

Josh Downs News

After Slow Week 1, Josh Downs Bounces Back in Week 2

Monday, September 15, 8:35 PM

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Josh Downs disappointed in Week 1, catching just two passes for 12 yards in a win over the Miami Dolphins. Fortunately for his fantasy managers, Downs looked more like his usual self in Week 2, hauling in six of his eight targets for 51 yards against the Denver Broncos. With the Indy offense humming along with Daniel Jones under center, Downs should continue to string together productive fantasy outings, especially in PPR leagues. He should be treated as a high-end WR3/flex option heading into a Week 3 road matchup against the Tennessee Titans.
