Who Should I Start? Alec Pierce or Tre' Harris

Saturday, December 13, 1:41 AM

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce (rib) practiced in full all week and doesn't carry an injury designation heading into Sunday's clash with the Seahawks. Pierce finished the 2024 campaign with seven touchdowns, a career-high. However, he has only scored twice this season. While the decline in trips to the end zone is a significant concern, he at least appears well on his way to having his best year in terms of receptions and receiving yards. With Indy desperately trying to remain in the postseason conversation, the team will look for a win over Seattle on Sunday. The Seahawks have one of the most formidable defenses in the National Football League, which would make life difficult for anyone. Yet, it may be an even tougher week for Pierce and the rest of the pass-catchers, considering Philip Rivers or Riley Leonard (knee) will take over in place of Daniel Jones (Achilles), who will miss the remainder of the year. With that in mind, Pierce isn't the safest fantasy option by any means in Week 15, so managers might want to consider other options, especially with Jonathan Taylor rumored to be more involved than usual.

Los Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver Tre' Harris caught one pass for 18 yards on two targets in last week's overtime win against the Philadelphia Eagles. Although he has been on the field for about 50% of snaps recently, his route rate remains low at 38%, limiting consistent production. Harris's outlook improves slightly this week because teammate Quentin Johnston (groin) is questionable, and Harris had his most targets and receptions of the season when Johnston previously missed a game in Week 6. However, overall passing production stays limited due to Justin Herbert's hand injury, the league-worst offensive line, and the team's run-first approach against the Kansas City Chiefs' top-10 pass defense. Harris's only potential for fantasy relevance is if the Chiefs jump out to an early lead, leading to a pass-heavy game script. Even with more targets, Harris is mainly a deep-league stash for this week.
