Who Should I Start? Jameis Winston or Alec Pierce

Friday, November 22, 5:29 AM

Cleveland Browns quarterback Jameis Winston completed 18 of his 27 passes for 219 yards and an interception while adding three carries for seven yards, a touchdown, and a lost fumble in a 24-19 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 12's Thursday night game. It was a cold, snowy day in Cleveland, which dampened the Browns' passing attack as they leaned on the running game for all three of their touchdowns. Winston did have a short touchdown pass dropped by David Njoku in the second half as several receivers had difficulty squeezing the ball in the cold conditions. Settling in as a boom/bust QB2 in fantasy, Winston will now have extra time to prepare to take on the Denver Broncos in Week 13's Monday night game.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce had another one of his trademark long catches on Sunday, recording a 39-yarder, along with a 16-yard and 19-yard reception, totaling 74 yards on his three catches. A week after seeing a season-high in targets, with the return of Michael Pittman Jr., the 24-year-old had the third-most targets on the day for the Colts with four. With the performance, the former second-round pick maintained his team-lead in receiving yards with 590, 23 yards more than Josh Downs (567). Pierce figures to see similar target share and air yards next week against the Lions which will leave him in the WR4/5 range.
