Pierce primed for breakout as Colts' No. 1 with 8.5% TD rate and target upside

Alec PierceWR

Pierce is available at ADP 84.32 as WR36 and is positioned for a breakout season. Indianapolis signed him to a massive contract and traded away Michael Pittman Jr., making Pierce the team's clear-cut No. 1 wide receiver. Last year, he finished as WR27, averaging 12.2 PPR fantasy points per game. Critically, Pierce has posted 13 receiving touchdowns over the past two seasons on only 84 receptions and 153 targets, an 8.5% touchdown rate. Assuming he sees the same 111 targets Pittman received last year, Pierce should record his first career season with double-digit touchdowns.
