Pierce ready for opener; contract extension and Pittman's departure should boost targets.

Pierce is back at practice and ready for the season opener against Baltimore after sitting out nearly all summer. He'll continue as the field-stretcher, leading the league in yards per reception among receivers with at least 25 receptions for each of the past two seasons. The source expects his role to change in 2026: he signed a massive contract extension in the offseason, and Michael Pittman is gone, which should result in a bump in routes and targets that will help Pierce's weekly fantasy floor and make him less volatile. For now, treat him as a boom-or-bust WR3/WR4 while his role develops early in the season.
