Who Should I Start? Alec Pierce or Parker Washington

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.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington recorded three receptions for 38 yards and a touchdown in a 20-7 win against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. After a 73-yard kickoff return against the Kansas City Chiefs last week, Washington showed off his receiving ability Saturday night, capping off a 17-play drive with a 25-yard touchdown from Mac Jones. At just 22 years old, Washington has potential value in dynasty leagues if he gets playing time down the line. However, this season, Washington will be stuck behind Christian Kirk, Gabe Davis, and Brian Thomas Jr., making him nothing more than an intriguing backup option in the case of injuries. To begin the year, redraft fantasy managers should leave Washington in free agency, but he is a name to keep an eye on during the season.
