The first is Alec Pierce, who is the only receiver in the past 20 years (likely longer) to hit 1,000 yards with an aDOT over 20. His role is not conducive to strong fantasy numbers, but he hit enough home runs last year to make it work. After signing a four-year deal to stay in Indy this offseason, it would have been reasonable to expect his role to change. An offseason ankle surgery that might cost him all of camp has likely put a stop to that.

Pierce is one of the source's biggest fades of the year; he is the only receiver in the past 20 years (likely longer) to hit 1,000 yards with an aDOT over 20, indicating his role is not conducive to strong fantasy numbers despite hitting enough home runs last year. After signing a four-year deal to stay in Indianapolis, his role was expected to change, but an offseason ankle surgery that might cost him all of camp has likely put a stop to that improvement.
