Who Should I Start? Wan'Dale Robinson or Alec Pierce

New York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson is a compelling but volatile fantasy option for Week 3 after the best game of his career. Robinson exploded for 24.2 fantasy points against the Cowboys, hauling in 8 of 10 targets for 142 yards and a touchdown, earning high praise from quarterback Russell Wilson. While fantasy managers may question if he can repeat this performance, he gets an ideal opportunity against a vulnerable Kansas City Chiefs secondary. The Chiefs rank as the 25th-best defense against fantasy wide receivers, allowing a generous 39.95 points per game to the position, making Robinson a high-upside WR3/flex play this week.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce (concussion) missed practice again on Thursday, putting his Week 4 status against the Los Angeles Rams in serious doubt. The Colts face a tough challenge against a Rams defense that currently ranks sixth against the pass, though Indianapolis enters the matchup with the league's No. 2 overall offense. Pierce has been a steady complementary piece this season, hauling in nine of 13 targets for 171 yards, ranking fourth on the team in both receptions and targets. If he's unable to play, tight end Tyler Warren should remain heavily involved, while Michael Pittman Jr. and Josh Downs continue to serve as reliable options in the passing game. Quarterback Daniel Jones has excelled at distributing the ball across multiple weapons, and he'll need to maintain that balance to keep the offense rolling against one of the league's stingiest secondaries.
