From the episode
Alec Pierce got a big paycheck and was very good... I don't necessarily think Alec Pierce is going to be very good for fantasy football simply because it depends on the role... If you paid Alec Pierce eighty four million and guaranteed money, it's a four year hundred fourteen million dollar contract... If you paid him that money to just stretch the field and be what he was last year, you have made an egregious mistake with your resources.
STACKED’s take
Positive signalRole
Skeptical despite $114M deal; likely stays as deep threat, not possession role.
Alec Pierce received a $114M contract (4 years, $84M guaranteed), signaling the Colts expect him to take on more than just stretching the field. However, the source is skeptical Pierce will be very good for fantasy football, believing he will stay in his current role of stretching the field and catching deep bombs despite the team's public statements that he will handle way more targets. The speaker notes Pierce had high-volume target weeks (13, 10, 8 targets) during the season, suggesting he could handle more responsibility, but remains skeptical he will be a massive producer.
