Who Should I Start? DeAndre Hopkins or Alec Pierce

Saturday, November 8, 10:18 AM

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins hasn't finished inside the top 50 of his position since Week 2 this year. The veteran pass-catcher continues to be more of an outlet option, rather than a consistent threat each week. In Week 9, he failed to bring in the only target he saw in a blowout win over the Miami Dolphins. His opponent in Week 10, the Minnesota Vikings, has been tough against opposing receiving groups this season, and the Ravens have finally gotten healthier on offense. That means there will likely be fewer targets for Hopkins after the other four that are higher in the pecking order. Hopkins isn't a recommended option in any format this week.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce is coming off his best game of the season, catching six of 13 targets for 115 yards in a 27-20 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Pierce has been a big-play machine in 2025, averaging 20.9 yards per catch, although he surprisingly is still looking for his first touchdown of the season. He will look to find the end zone in a Week 10 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons in Berlin, Germany. The Falcons have done a good job limiting opposing receivers this season, allowing just the 26th-most fantasy points per game to the position thus far. That being said, the Colts have been explosive on offense and should be able to move the ball on Sunday. Fantasy gamers can treat Pierce as a boom/bust flex option in Week 10.
