Who Should I Start? Kyle Philips or Alec Pierce

Saturday, August 10, 9:58 PM

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Kyle Philips hauled in all three of his targets for a total of 18 yards during Saturday's preseason game against the San Francisco 49ers. Philips had generated plenty of buzz prior to his rookie campaign in 2022, but injuries have held him to just 13 games, 23 catches, and 259 receiving yards since then. Even after his solid showing in Week 1 of the preseason, he is buried behind players like Calvin Ridley, Tyler Boyd, DeAndre Hopkins, and Treylon Burks on the Titans' depth chart. As a result, Philips remains off the fantasy radar in all formats.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce caught two of his five targets for 15 yards in the team's 16-10 win over the Miami Dolphins. Pierce led Indy in targets, tied with wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. Pierce and quarterback Anthony Richardson did connect on a 28-yard pass that nearly had him in the end zone, but the play was ultimately negated due to an illegal formation penalty. Pierce has been a very boom-or-bust option for fantasy managers and will likely continue to stay in a similar role moving forward. That being said, Pierce will have a more favorable matchup in Week 8 against the Houston Texans and can potentially be viewed as a WR4/5 option in the contest.
