Who Should I Start? Dyami Brown or Alec Pierce

Friday, October 31, 12:48 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dyami Brown is firmly in the mix as a waiver-wire pickup before the team's Week 9 contest on Sunday against the Las Vegas Raiders after the Jaguars placed rookie first-rounder Travis Hunter (knee) on Injured Reserve on Friday due to a knee injury that he suffered in Thursday's practice. Brown and Parker Washington are both worthy waiver-wire pickups with expanded roles coming in Jacksonville's passing game alongside Brian Thomas Jr. (shoulder). The 25-year-old Brown is only rostered in 2% of Yahoo leagues currently, but he should be seeing a drastic bump in volume and added targets in the coming weeks. He enters this weekend's action with 16 catches on 27 targets for 194 yards and one touchdown in six games so far this season. Washington should probably be the priority off waivers for fantasy managers in need of WR help.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce has been a big-play machine for his team in 2025. With 386 yards on just 18 receptions, Pierce's 21.4 yards per reception leads the NFL. That being said, Pierce is still looking for his first touchdown of the year after finding the end zone seven times in 2024. Pierce draws an interesting Week 9 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers on the road. The Steelers are allowing the sixth-most fantasy points per game to receivers this season. Pierce isn't a safe play due to his typical low volume in the passing game, but he is worth a look as a boom/bust flex option in deeper leagues.
