From the article

Pierce surged late and had a breakout season, leading the Colts with just over 1,000 receiving yards... However, Pierce's reception total is bothersome. He finished with only 47 catches, just one more than Jonathan Taylor, and was fourth among Colts pass-catchers... it's just the options later that I prefer that make him an easy player to fade.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalBust

Pierce's 1,000 yards masked low catch rate; safer options exist at ADP 74.

Alec Pierce's value spike is driven by his new contract and Michael Pittman Jr.'s departure, but the source doubts he will catapult to a high-end WR2; while Pierce led the Colts with 1,000+ receiving yards and a league-leading 19.4 aDOT (minimum 50 targets), his 47 receptions (just one more than Jonathan Taylor) and fourth-place finish among Colts pass-catchers raise concerns about steady volume. With Tyler Warren and Taylor as offensive focal points and Josh Downs improving, Pierce's ceiling may already be reached; the source prefers Courtland Sutton's safer floor or Parker Washington and Quentin Johnston at lower ADP.
