When Is Alec Pierce Coming Back - Week 9 Fantasy Football Injury Return Update (2026)
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce signed a four-year, $116 million contract to return to the Colts this offseason, and […]
- They have not had an alpha at WR in forever. Love Alec Pierce, but he’s a unique player and probably never a huge volume guy. This is reflective of the Ballard philosophy: More of a by committee approach bc he didn’t prioritize the position. · Quoting Sableye's Gems: @HolderStephen I completely agree but I have said since the AR days that the receiving group here was very mediocre compared to actual contenders. It is especially bad now but the same way they didn’t set Jones up for success coming off injury they didnt set young prospect AR up properly either

- Oct 25 Stephen Holder (X) If even Stephen Holder is saying Shane should move on maybe just maybe it’s time 😂 · Quoting Stephen Holder: My professional opinion: None of their QBs would have much success vs that Vikings defense minus Alec Pierce and Tyler Warren. But Jones’ season long trajectory has been so bad that you lose nothing by trying something else.

But Jones’ season long trajectory has been so bad that you lose nothing by trying something else. · Quoting Stephen Holder: NEW: Colts QB Daniel Jones now has the worst TD-to-INT ratio of any starter after throwing another crucial interception into double coverage. But, remarkably, he hasn’t lost his coach’s backing.

- Oct 13 Stephen Holder (X) We've spent a lot of time addressing how the Colts aren't adapting well to the loss of Alec Pierce. The film of Sunday's game against the Steelers offers good examples of how Josh Downs, specifically, is affected. Look at how often he draws two defenders in his area (thread)

- Oct 11 ESPN NFL Injury Report Alec Pierce: Injured Reserve
- Oct 11 Mike Chappell (X) Colts offense not getting it done, and that's been the case all season. *965 net passing yds fewest in 1st 5 games since 1997. *1,469 total yds fewest since 2011. *Jones has averaged 6.1 yds/att or fewer in 5 straight games for 1st time in career. *Yes, they miss Alec Pierce*
- At this point, it might be better for the #Titans to use the Colts game plan a few yrs ago with Alec Pierce, Michael Pittman and Carson Wentz. Just throw it up there and hope for a PI call.

With the Colts making overtures on Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr., who is expected to be traded imminently, makes you wonder about the prospect of a return anytime soon for Alec Pierce. They are still expecting him back at some point, but I have yet to hear a timeline.

Yds/att. one of those barometers for success. 7-7.5 yds/att. a great area to be in. Jones has had 10 starts with less than 5 yds/att. He's 1-9 after Sunday. Team can say what it wants, but it's been unable to replicate what Alec Pierce brings · Quoting Mike Chappell: Turnovers, lack of oomph in pass game issues w/Colts offense in 1st 4 gms:
*8 TOs - T-4th most since 2000. Most since very forgettable 2022 (9).
*Daniel Jones - 7 TOs, T-2nd most with Josh Allen. Drake Maye with 9.
*Jones 4.2 yds/att. vs Commanders - 4th-lowest in 86 starts.
