Indianapolis Colts WR Alec Pierce (ankle) may miss the first few weeks of the 2026 season, according to coach Shane Steichen.
Huddle Up: Pierce had ankle surgery in April and Colts GM Chris Ballard said at the time that he was looking at a three-month recovery, so "missing a couple weeks," sounds reasonable. Pierce signed a four-year, $114 million contract with the Colts after leading the NFL for a second consecutive season in yards per reception (21.3). He also posted career highs with 47 receptions for 1,003 yards in 15 games. If healthy, Pierce could be a WR2 candidate due to his deep ball threat and connection with QB Daniel Jones.

Indianapolis Colts WR Alec Pierce (ankle) and DL DeForest Buckner (neck) will not participate in OTAs, according to head coach Shane Steichen.
Huddle Up: Pierce's missing OTAs should not be a red flag, knowing the contract the team rewarded him with. He still remains a viable option in fantasy leagues in 2026 as a WR2 ceiling and a reliable WR3 floor.

Huddle Up: Fantasy players can keep an eye on the situation to see what Pierce can do at training camp, but he should be ready for the start of the season. He has become the No. 1 receiver for the Colts and should see a good amount of targets each game. He can be considered at least a No. 3 receiver in fantasy leagues.

Impending free-agent WR Alec Pierce (Colts) and the Indianapolis Colts have agreed to terms on a four-year contract extension worth $114 million, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network on Monday, March 9.
Huddle Up: Pierce set career highs in receptions, targets and yards in 2025, delivering his first 1,000-yard campaign in the process. Pierce was likely to have a robust free-agent market, but he will stay in Indianapolis for the foreseeable future. Pierce could be in the WR3 mix for fantasy purposes, but could see target volume now that he has a lot of money tied to him, to make him a high-upside fantasy WR2 with continued big-play potential.
