From the episode

in these last two games with having Alec Pierce out of the lineup, so interested in hearing Stefania's thoughts on when we think we'll see Alec Pierce back because it is part of the equation. Things will be a little more crowded.

STACKED’s take

NeutralDepth Chart

Pierce's absence has boosted Downs; his return will crowd the receiver room.

Alec Pierce is currently out of the lineup, which has benefited Josh Downs' target share and utilization; when Pierce returns, the receiver room will become more crowded and Downs' target distribution will likely decrease.
