Alec Pierce

IND Wide Receiver #14

Colts WR Alec Pierce (heel) was removed from the injury report and will play in Week 1 against the Ravens.

Pierce practiced for the first time this offseason on September 1st after undergoing ankle/heel surgery earlier this offseason. ESPN’s Stephen Holder said Pierce’s snap count is still to be determined, indicating that Pierce is unlikely to play a full complement of snaps. He can only be viewed as a boom-bust FLEX, but his field-stretching presence will trickle down to the pass-catching corps by keeping the safeties honest, which is good news.
Alec Pierce

IND Wide Receiver #14

Colts WR Alec Pierce (heel) was limited on Thursday.

Pierce is technically on track to play, but his continued practice limitations suggest he is still ramping up. If active on Sunday, he would be a boom-bust FLEX, though having him on the field would be a big boost for his teammates. Pierce’s downfield abilities help keep safeties honest, freeing up the short-to-intermediate field depths.
Jaylon Jones

TEN Cornerback #40

Titans signed CB Jaylon Jones, formerly of the Colts.

The Colts waived Jones only two days ago. He now hops across the AFC South to Tennessee. The Titans correspondingly waived CB Melvin Smith Jr.
Alec Pierce

IND Wide Receiver #14

Alec Pierce (heel) was limited in Wednesday’s practice.

Pierce is recovering from offseason surgery that caused him to miss the entirety of training camp and the preseason. The lack of reps could leave him a little rusty heading into Week 1, but the good news is that a limited practice today means he should be active versus the Ravens. Pierce will be a high-risk WR4 for the first slate of the season. Josh Downs and Tyler Warren were not on the injury report.
Alec Pierce

IND Wide Receiver #14

Colts HC Shane Steichen said Alec Pierce (ankle) is expected to play in Week 1 against the Ravens.

Pierce missed most of training camp while recovering from offseason ankle surgery, but the fifth-year speedster is expected to be on the field when the Colts take on the Ravens in the season opener. ESPN’s Stephen Holder noted that “it’s very possible” some of Pierce’s workload will be split between Keenan Allen and Ashton Dulin as he continues to ramp up after an extended absence, but Pierce will be on the field in some capacity on Sunday. Unfortunately, this makes him a risky bet for fantasy purposes unless Steichen can alleviate any concerns about Pierce being on a pitch count to start the season.
Anthony Richardson

IND Quarterback #5

Colts coach Shane Steichen said Anthony Richardson will serve as the team’s backup quarterback.

Richardson spent training camp and the preseason battling it out with Riley Leonard for the backup gig. Given the arc of Richardson’s career, earning the backup gig is undoubtedly a win for the young passer. Richardson isn’t on the redraft fantasy radar, but dynasty managers can leave the light on for him.
Keenan Allen

IND Wide Receiver #10

Colts GM Chris Ballard said Keenan Allen will play in Indianapolis’ Week 1 game against the Ravens.

In other words, there will be no in-house punishment for Allen being arrested for DWI and DWI endangering a person on Sunday morning. It’s a hard-to-augur game, as we are not entirely sure if the Ravens defense is going to take a turn for the better and if Daniel Jones is NFL-healthy rather than training-camp-healthy, but Allen should have enough of a role to land in the WR4 ranks at the very least.
Anthony Richardson

IND Quarterback #5

Colts general manager Chris Ballard said he expects Anthony Richardson, Jr. to remain with the team in 2026.

Richardson is listed alongside Riley Leonard as the team’s QB2 for now. Either Leonard or Richardson — who struggled in the preseason — will serve as Daniel Jones’ backup this season. One of the most inaccurate passers in modern NFL history, Richardson would be a massive downgrade for all Indy pass catchers if he finds his way under center in 2026.
Tyler Warren

IND Tight End #84

Tyler Warren (groin) practiced Tuesday.

Warren is recovering from an apparently minor groin injury. By all accounts he should be a full go for Week 1. Warren last season was top three among tight ends in targets per route run and first-read target rate in the balanced Colts offense. He’ll offer a sturdy weekly floor and could lead the team in targets in 2026 if he stays healthy.
Alec Pierce

IND Wide Receiver #14

Alec Pierce (ankle) practiced Tuesday.

Pierce missed most of training camp while recovering from offseason ankle surgery after signing a huge contract extension with the Colts. Pierce appears on track to suit up for Week 1. Whether Pierce is on some sort of pitch count remains to be seen. Pierce should eventually function as the team’s WR1, operating as more than a strictly downfield threat. He should be seen as a flex play for now.
