Who Should I Start? Terry McLaurin or Alec Pierce

Sunday, November 24, 5:07 PM

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin caught five of his six targets for 102 yards and a score in their loss to the Dallas Cowboys. McLaurin was held in check through most of the afternoon but finally broke free as he tallied an 86-yard score late in the fourth quarter to set up the potential game-tying extra-point attempt. Even though McLaurin was having a quiet game, Daniels still looked his way six times, which was third most on the team, behind only Noah Brown and Zach Ertz. Given his big-play ability, fantasy managers should still view him as a must-start option in Week 13 when he faces the Tennessee Titans.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce garnered his usual looks on Sunday but turned his four targets into just one catch in the 24-6 loss to the Lions. The one catch was a nice 39-yard grab, and Anthony Richardson missed him badly on a wide-open throw early on in the contest for what would have been a huge gain or even a touchdown. The continued dose of deep shots to the speedy receiver is encouraging, as one of these weeks it could turn into a big day for the 24-year-old, but it is hard to predict when that will be, especially if Richardson doesn't improve his accuracy. Week 13 brings a somewhat favorable matchup against the Patriots, but that contest will be on the road on what will be a chilly day in Foxboro. Nevertheless, Pierce figures to be a boom/bust WR5 again.
