Alec Pierce Out For Week 16

Alec Pierce Out For Week 16

Colts WR Alec Pierce (concussion) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Titans. He leaves behind 4.1 targets per game, giving WRs Michael Pittman and Josh Downs slight boosts. WR Adonai Mitchell figures to soak up most of Pierce's snaps but is only viable in DFS tournaments.

Colts WR Josh Downs (shoulder) is active for today’s game vs. the Broncos. He practiced all week, including full workouts on Thursday and Friday. The shoulder is less of a concern than QB Anthony Richardson’s play and the matchup against a Broncos defense ranked sixth in adjusted fantasy points allowed to slot receivers.
