BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4
ANALYSIS: Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce has gotten off to a strong start to the season, serving as a top downfield threat for quarterback Anthony Richardson. Through two games, Pierce has eight catches for 181 yards and two touchdowns.

Alas, the good times are threatened this week as the Colts get second-year wide receiver Josh Downs back in the fold after he missed the first two games of the season. Adding another mouth to a fairly unpredictable offense definitely drops the fantasy floor for Pierce down a bit.
Fantasy managers should view Pierce as a low-end WR4 with upside this weekend against the Bears. Downs returning could certainly relegate Pierce to the fantasy graveyard, but his long-range connection with Richardson will continue to provide him a path toward fantasy relevance. It just takes one 50-yard bomb, right?
