Colts WR Alec Pierce (ribs) was removed from the injury report and will play in Week 15 against the Seahawks.The Colts' field-stretching wide receiver is a capable player, but this is an unfortunate situation. The Seahawks' pass defense is one of the league's best, and the Colts still have not decided on whether Philip Rivers or Riley Leonard (knee) will start this week. Pierce is a boom-bust WR5.
Alec Pierce (ribs) is practicing in full for Week 15 against the Seahawks.Pierce left Week 14's game for a concussion evaluation in the fourth quarter. He was never given an injury designation and did not enter the league's concussion protocol after the game. A full practice today with a different injury listed on the report means he should be good to go for Week 15. With either Riley Leonard or Phillip Rivers now starting in place of an injured Daniel Jones, our hopes aren't high for Pierce as a fantasy option versus Seattle's elite defense.

Alec Pierce caught 5-of-8 targets for 80 yards in Indianapolis' Week 14 loss to the Jaguars.Pierce appeared to catch a garbage time touchdown, but instant replay overruled the catch after it was decided that he was fumbling control of the ball as he hit the ground. After the play he was sent to the bench and evaluated for a concussion. Pierce was on video talking to reporters after the game in the locker room, which is a good sign for his status going forward, but we'll probably get something more firm on that on Monday. He's continued to be the best receiver the Colts have, but with Riley Leonard now leading the quarterback room, it's probably more of a WR3 package against the tough Seahawks defense in Week 15.
