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

Saturday, November 1, 2:51 AM

New York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson is in line for a high-volume receiving day, poised to exploit a favorable Week 9 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers defense. Robinson, currently the WR23 with 10.08 fantasy points per game, is leading the Giants in targets (57) and operating with an 82.6% snap share, solidifying his role as the top receiving option following injuries. The 49ers defense, while strong against scoring (8th in points against), is the 21st-ranked fantasy defense versus wide receivers, allowing a generous 33.81 fantasy points per game. Notably, San Francisco struggles to generate pressure (31st in sacks), which benefits quarterback Jaxson Dart and gives Robinson more time to separate. This high-target floor and plus matchup make Robinson a strong WR2 play with significant upside in this home contest.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce has almost exclusively been known as a downfield pass-catcher throughout his career. Across his first three NFL seasons, Pierce averaged 4.3 targets per game and 17.6 yards per reception. Now in his fourth season, Pierce is still making big plays. However, there are signs that Indianapolis is viewing him as a more well-rounded wide receiver. Through his first seven games played in 2025, Pierce is averaging 6.4 targets per contest. He's been particularly involved in recent weeks with 28 targets over his last three games played. Pierce has yet to find the end zone this season, but he scored seven touchdowns across 16 games in 2024. Heading into a Week 10 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons, Pierce should be rostered in all fantasy leagues with 12 or more teams.
