Alec Pierce Week 11 Outlook - Colts at Jets

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Nov 14th 2024, 1:05pm EST

In the five full games Pierce has played with Richardson, he has seen a 15.5% target share, a 29.4% air-yard share, and a 15.6% first-read share, producing 2.13 YPRR and 50.2 receiving yards per game. He has consistently been the team's deep threat this season, and that has also been the case with Richardson (23.0 aDOT). The simple rule to follow with Pierce is to flex him against teams that fail to defend deep passing well. That's not the case for the Jets. They have allowed the fourth-lowest passer rating and the eighth-lowest completion rate to deep passing. 48.7% of Pierce's targets have been on deep throws this season. Sit Pierce.
