Alec Pierce caught 4-of-6 targets for 61 yards in the Colts’ Week 1 loss to the Ravens.
Pierce hauled in a 13-yard pass on the Colts’ opening drive but didn’t log his second reception of the game until the third quarter. The speedster, who has made a name for himself as a deep threat, saw just one pass of 20-plus air yards in Sunday’s loss, with all of his receptions coming in the intermediate part of the field. With the game nearly out of reach in the fourth quarter, Pierce caught passes of 14 and 23 yards to get the Colts into scoring range before Tyler Warren capped the drive with a nine-yard receiving touchdown. Pierce’s six targets tied Keenan Allen for the team lead on Sunday, but we’ll need to see more volume before we can confidently project him as anything more than a WR3 for next week’s game against the Chiefs.
