Who Should I Start? Alec Pierce or Trey Palmer

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.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Trey Palmer (concussion) cleared the league's concussion protocol and is officially active for the Week 7 contest on Monday night against the Baltimore Ravens. Palmer has already suffered two separate concussions this year and has missed the last two games as a result. The 23-year-old will be active on Monday night, but don't expect him to see the field all that much behind the likes of Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, rookie Jalen McMillan and Sterling Shepard. Before the second-year pass-catcher's second concussion, he caught just four of his six targets for four yards and a touchdown in four games played for the Bucs. The sixth-round selection took on the No. 3 role in 2023 when Russell Gage was injured, but he's further down the receiver depth chart in Tampa in 2024.
