Video: Danny Kelly's 8 Players He Wont Let His Leaguemates Draft Before Him - 2026 Fantasy Football My Guys
we're kind of out on Alec Pierce... there was a video a couple weeks ago uh of him like walking around with a slight limp, but worse than that is his left calf looked like 20% smaller than his right calf... there's a real chance Alec Pierce isn't 100% in like week two, week three of the season... you're expecting him to take on this new role where he's a more complete receiver. I I don't think so

STACKED’s take

Negative signalInjury

Calf injury concern and role fit doubts override contract logic.

Injury concern and role uncertainty make Pierce a fade despite his $30 million per year contract with the Colts. Video evidence shows him walking with a slight limp, and more concerning, his left calf appeared 20% smaller than his right calf, suggesting potential calf strain or atrophy. There is a real chance Pierce isn't 100% in weeks 2–3 of the season. Additionally, he is expected to take on a new role as a more complete receiver, which the source doubts he can execute. The source explicitly states 'we're kind of out on Alec Pierce' and is more bullish on Josh Downs and Tyler Warren instead.
