Alec Pierce fantasy football start 'em, sit 'em picks for Week 6 (2024). Should you start or sit Alec Pierce for fantasy football lineups?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR48
ANALYSIS: Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce has been one of the biggest fantasy football surprises this season. The former Cincinnati star has never been fantasy-relevant in his career until this year. Yet, he is the WR17 in 2024, averaging 12.3 half-point PPR fantasy points per game.
Unfortunately, it’s hard for fantasy players to trust Piece in their starting lineups every week. He has only one game with more than three targets this season. Furthermore, the veteran has scored 20 or more fantasy points in as many games as he scored 4.9 or fewer this year (two).
Last week, Pierce had a massive performance on only three targets, totaling three receptions for 134 receiving yards, a touchdown, and 20.9 fantasy points against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
FLACCO TO PIERCE FOR A 65-YARD TD TO TIE IT.
Joe Flacco MAGIC.

Fantasy players in deeper leagues can start Pierce in Week 5 against the Tennessee Titans, with Michael Pittman Jr. (back) not expected to play. Furthermore, his fantasy appeal improves if Josh Downs misses the game because of a toe injury.

Mike Evans - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ team leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: High-end WR3/FLEX ANALYSIS: After 12 spectacular seasons with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, veteran wide receiver Mike Evans found a new home with the San Francisco 49ers this past offseason.

DJ Moore - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ team leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: High-end WR3 ANALYSIS: The Buffalo Bills made a splash this past offseason, acquiring veteran wide receiver DJ Moore from the Chicago Bears. Moore had been a top-24 fantasy receiver for all six years from 2019 through 2024, but he dropped to WR35 last year. After the […]
Rhamondre Stevenson - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in all leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: Low-end RB2 ANALYSIS: The New England Patriots' running back room has been heavily analyzed all summer long. TreVeyon Henderson's youth and explosiveness have consistently caught drafters' attention more often than Rhamondre Stevenson’s safer floor and secured volume. The two saw a similar workload last season until Stevenson […]
Jaylen Warren - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start as RB2 in PPR leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB2 ANALYSIS: After three seasons as the Steelers' RB2 behind Najee Harris and making zero starts, Jaylen Warren finally took the starting job in 2025 and silenced many of his critics. He admittedly got off to a slow start, but really got going following a […]
Marvin Harrison Jr. - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start as WR3 in 12-Team PPR leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/FLEX ANALYSIS: Are NFL fans being too harsh on Marvin Harrison Jr.? The Ohio State product was picked fourth overall in 2024 and had an objectively solid rookie season, which was unfortunately overshadowed by Brian Thomas Jr., Malik Nabers, and Ladd McConkey's outstanding rookie […]
