Alec Pierce Catches Crucial TD Pass In Week 13 Win

Monday, December 2, 11:32 AM

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce (foot), who had missed two practices earlier in the week, was cleared to suit up and wound up playing a pivotal role in the Colts' 25-24 win over the Patriots on Sunday. While two catches for 16 yards isn't noteworthy, one of those catches was a touchdown reception that came with 12 seconds left in the game that put the Colts in position to win the game on a successful two-point conversion by quarterback Anthony Richardson on the following play. Pierce did receive six targets in the game, which was second-most behind Michael Pittman Jr.'s seven, and was a slight uptick in his usual usage with Josh Downs (shoulder) missing the contest due to injury. When the Colts come out of their bye, expect Pierce's involvement to take a slight step back if Downs returns, although he's always a threat to break off a couple of big chunk plays per game using his speed.

Kayshon Boutte Busy In Week 13, Plays Nearly Every Snap

Monday, December 2, 2:49 AM

New England Patriots wide receiver Kayshon Boutte caught three of his six targets for 41 yards during Sunday's Week 13 loss to the Indianapolis Colts. The 22-year-old played 71 of the Patriots' 72 offensive snaps on Sunday; this 99 percent snap share was his highest mark of the season. He now has 12 catches for 127 yards over his last four games, ranking as the overall WR56 in PPR leagues during that span. Boutte's high snap share and big-play ability make him an intriguing depth option in fantasy football, but managers can't justify starting him until he delivers FLEX-caliber production on a more consistent basis. The second-year receiver's next chance to make an impact will come on the other side of the Patriots' bye in Week 15 when they take on the Arizona Cardinals.
