Alec Pierce Quiet In Week 7 Win

Monday, October 21, 1:31 AM

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce caught two of his five targets for 15 yards in the team's 16-10 win over the Miami Dolphins. Pierce led Indy in targets, tied with wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. Pierce and quarterback Anthony Richardson did connect on a 28-yard pass that nearly had him in the end zone, but the play was ultimately negated due to an illegal formation penalty. Pierce has been a very boom-or-bust option for fantasy managers and will likely continue to stay in a similar role moving forward. That being said, Pierce will have a more favorable matchup in Week 8 against the Houston Texans and can potentially be viewed as a WR4/5 option in the contest.

Kayshon Boutte Quiet Despite Leading Patriots In Routes Run

Sunday, October 20, 7:02 PM

New England Patriots wide receiver Kayshon Boutte caught one of his two targets for 33 yards during Sunday's Week 7 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. The second-year receiver wasn't able to replicate his impressive Week 6 stat line that included a touchdown, but he was still heavily involved. He finished Sunday's contest with 50 snaps (most among Patriots wide receivers) and 37 routes run (most among all Patriots players). Boutte is off the redraft radar going forward but remains an intriguing dynasty stash as he continues to earn meaningful offensive snaps.
