2025 Fantasy Outlook
Pierce had a mini-breakout in 2024, leading all qualified receivers in yards per catch (22.3), yards per target (11.9) and aDOT (21.4), with each of those numbers rising for a second straight year. He scored on seven of his 39 catches, including three TDs of 40-plus yards, but he rarely saw shorter passes to complement the deep stuff and thus finished with less than five targets per game for a third time in three pro seasons. The 2022 second-round pick may be capable of using his 4.41 speed and big frame (6-3, 211) to succeed in shorter areas of the field, but the odds of finding out for sure in 2025 don't look good, as the Colts are bringing back fellow WRs Michael Pittman and Josh Downs while giving QB Anthony Richardson one last shot to win the starting job. Pierce is the one Indianapolis pass catcher that might actually benefit from Richardson's chaotic style of play, but it would likely still be in the form of sporadic spike weeks rather than steady volume.

RANKS
Signed a four-year, $6.6 million contract with the Colts in May of 2022.
Gains 69 yards Sunday
Pierce had two receptions on five targets for 69 yards in Sunday's 38-14 win over the Titans.
ANALYSIS
Pierce followed up a season-high 98 receiving yards in Week 7 with his second-highest total through six starts in 2025. Michael Pittman stole the show with a 8-95-1 receiving line in the win, but Pierce still left his mark on the contest with a game-high reception of 50 yards. Pierce is averaging 64.3 receiving yards per game this season, but a lack of scoring (zero touchdowns) holds him back from standard-league relevance against the Steelers next Sunday.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2022
Pierce has averaged 554 yards and two touchdowns in his two years with the Colts. In each year, the quarterback play has been questionable. In his career, the receiver has been frequently used as a deep threat. That’s a role that Pierce could retain in 2024. However, the team drafted Adonai Mitchell, and if the rookie has a solid training camp, it may be a formality that Mitchell takes over the starting role and relegates Pierce to No. 4 receiver duties. If Pierce somehow holds onto the starting role and Anthony Richardson stays healthy, Pierce has the potential to build on his early-career numbers. Ultimately, it would seem that Mitchell will win the starting role at some point. As a result, Pierce may not be in position to see regular targets.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Colts' WR2 for Week 7
Pierce is slated to serve as the Colts' No. 2 wideout behind Michael Pittman for Sunday's game against the Chargers due to the absences of Josh Downs and Ashton Dulin, Amanda Foster of the Colts' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Downs sustained a concussion and Dulin suffered a chest injury during the Colts' Week 6 win over the Cardinals, which prevented both players from practicing this past week. In their absences, Pierce and second-year wideout Adonai Mitchell are in line to see larger roles on offense, with the former commanding at least four targets from quarterback Daniel Jones in each of the Colts' last three games. Pierce has 11 catches on 17 targets for 219 yards through four regular-season games.
