Who Should I Start? Dyami Brown or Alec Pierce

Tuesday, November 11, 3:38 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dyami Brown cleared the league's concussion protocol and was given the green light to play in the Week 10 loss to the Houston Texans. Brown had an opportunity for more involvement in the passing game with rookie first-rounder Travis Hunter (knee) on Injured Reserve and Brian Thomas Jr. (ankle) inactive, but he ended up playing just 37% of the offensive snaps while failing to catch his only target. Newcomer Jakobi Meyers led the Jags with 41 receiving yards on three catches, and Parker Washington scored through the air and on special teams. Brown has only 19 catches on 35 targets for 219 yards and one touchdown in eight games in his first year in Duval, but he makes more sense as a waiver addition in deeper leagues now that Hunter will miss the rest of the season. The 26-year-old will still be a boom/bust dart throw, though, and his short-term fantasy value will depend on whether Thomas misses more time with his ankle injury.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce will come out of his Week 11 bye to take on the Kansas City Chiefs on the road in Week 12. Pierce has enjoyed a mini-breakout in 2025, catching 28 passes for 585 yards and one touchdown in eight games, putting him on pace to set new career highs in catches and receiving yards. The veteran wideout would be garnering more notoriety, but he has only scored one touchdown despite averaging 20.9 yards per catch. Pierce is due for some positive regression in the scoring department, but remains a solid flex option in all fantasy leagues even without the TDs. Fantasy managers can insert him into starting lineups in Week 12, despite a tough matchup against a KC defense that is allowing just the 27th-most fantasy points per game to the position.
