Who Should I Start? Jordan Matthews or Alec Pierce

Wednesday, October 25, 10:24 AM

Veteran wide receiver/tight end Jordan Matthews signed with the Carolina Panthers as a member of the practice squad on Wednesday. The 31-year-old last played for the Philadelphia Eagles in 2019, catching four passes for 33 yards in two games. Matthews once posted a 997-yard season, but that was in 2015. In 2023, there's little to no chance he becomes fantasy-relevant, and it's probably a long shot for him to even join the active roster this season. The Vanderbilt alum can be ignored for fantasy football until further notice.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce took his only target of the day for a 58-yard touchdown in the team's 23-20 win against the Las Vegas Raiders. The touchdown came late in the first half, which would make for his only catch of the game. Pierce has been an underwhelming fantasy option this season, as today's win marked just the second time he's posted a double-digit fantasy outing. Pierce will look to remain involved in the team's Week 18 matchup against the Houston Texans but is largely off the fantasy radar for that contest.
