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.

Kaelon Black - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Sit in most leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: Low-end RB3 ANALYSIS: So, that was a bit of a surprise.

Black not only won the […]
Parker Washington - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in all leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: High-end WR2 ANALYSIS: The Jacksonville Jaguars' wide receiver room was one of the most heavily discussed position groups in the fantasy community this offseason.

BALLER MOVE: Start in all leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3 ANALYSIS: Carolina Panthers wide receiver Jalen Coker (ankle) is dealing with an ankle injury he picked up in Week 1.

Jameson Williams - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in all leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: Borderline WR2 With Upside ANALYSIS: Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams has an abnormally high drop rate, which isn't great for his potential to earn more targets in his offense.
