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.
One long catch in season debut
Pierce had one reception for 36 yards on three targets in Sunday's win over Miami.
ANALYSIS
Pierce started at wideout opposite Michael Pittman and played the most snaps (60) of any receiver, but was far behind the leaders in targets (Michael Pittman with eight and Tyler Warren with nine). Pierce looks to be mostly a deep threat in the offense and may be a boom-or-bust candidate for fantasy purposes.

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
No contract talks
Pierce and the Colts have not discussed a contract extension, Stephen Holder of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Pierce is entering the final year of his rookie deal and has established a key role as a deep threat in the Indy offense. However, the team has already committed to Michael Pittman on a substantial long-term deal, and they also drafted tight end Tyler Warren in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft. That could make Pierce expendable, particularly as Adonai Mitchell projects to fill a similar role in the offense if he can develop in his second season as a pro.
