From the episode

He got 84 targets last year... he did have a really high ADOT... In 2024, he led the league, yes... I think he's one of the best in the league at what he does.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Pierce led the league in yards per target in 2024 with elite deep-ball efficiency.

Pierce is a deep-threat specialist with elite yards per target production; he led the league in yards per target in 2024 and has maintained strong deep efficiency over his last two seasons despite receiving 84 targets last year with a high average depth of target (ADOT). His production is driven by vertical route running and contested catch ability, making him a valuable scheme fit for teams needing deep-ball threats; the source characterizes him as 'one of the best in the league at what he does' and meaningfully better than Taequann Thornton at those specific deep-threat skills, though his role remains limited to vertical routes rather than intermediate/shallow range work.
