Who Should I Start? Alec Pierce or Pat Bryant

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce (foot) returned to practice Tuesday after sitting out Monday with a blister in his foot. Pierce has stood out early in camp as he enters a contract year. The 25-year-old led the NFL with a sky-high 22.3 yards per catch and picked up seven touchdowns in 2024, but he only caught 37 passes on 69 targets. Pierce continues to deal with a less-than-stellar situation at quarterback with Daniel Jones and Anthony Richardson Sr. vying for the job. There are also a handful of other Colts who could eat into his targets. Pierce finished third on the team in targets last year, trailing well behind Michael Pittman Jr. and Josh Downs, and the Colts have since added first-round tight end Tyler Warren.

According to Zac Stevens, rookie wide receiver Pat Bryant has been impressing the organization early in training camp. Bryant is getting open, making plays, and showing he can be a legitimate threat in this offense right away. The Broncos used a third-round pick to select Bryant during this year's draft. He's currently slated as the fourth wideout behind Courtland Sutton, Marvin Mims, and Devaughn Vele on the depth chart. Despite that, Bryant has a chance to jump even higher on the depth chart before the season begins. If his success continues, Bryant could be an impact player at the start of the regular season.
