he's established himself as one of the league's most dangerous vertical threats, culminating in a 1,033-yard campaign last year despite catching just 47 passes on 84 targets

STACKED’s take

Pierce's 1,033 yards on 47 catches shows elite efficiency; alpha transition remains unproven.

Pierce has never eclipsed 84 targets or 47 catches in a single season despite establishing himself as one of the league's most dangerous vertical threats. His 2025 campaign yielded 1,033 receiving yards on just 47 catches across 84 targets, leading the NFL in yards per reception in back-to-back years (22.3 YPR in 2024, 21.3 YPR in 2025). The critical fantasy question is whether he can transition from a deep-threat specialist into a true, all-around alpha receiver capable of handling increased volume and intermediate route responsibilities.
