Who Should I Start? Dyami Brown or Alec Pierce

Tuesday, August 19, 12:19 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dyami Brown (lower body) was a full practice participant at training camp on Tuesday after he was held out of the team's second preseason game on Sunday against the New Orleans Saints with stiffness in his lower body, according to Mia O'Brien. First-round receiver/defensive back Travis Hunter (upper body) also missed Sunday's exhibition contest and is day-to-day. Jacksonville's receiving corps is a little banged up, but Brown's and Hunter's injuries aren't serious enough to put them in danger of missing Week 1 of the regular season. The 25-year-old Brown has made some noise in camp this summer as he battles for the WR3 role with Parker Washington behind Hunter and Brian Thomas Jr. He had a career-best 308 receiving yards and one touchdown in 16 games for the Commanders in 2024, but Brown will be left to the waiver wire in most 12-team fantasy formats.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce will host the Denver Broncos in Week 2 after enjoying a blowout win over the Miami Dolphins in Week 1. Pierce was mostly quiet, catching just one of his three targets for a 36-yard gain in the contest. The veteran will look for more work in a tough matchup against a Broncos secondary that shut down the Tennessee Titans pass-catchers in Week 1. Pierce can be very boom/bust, but is not a recommended fantasy option unless desperate in Week 2.
