Should You Start or Sit Alec Pierce in Week 11?
Alec Pierce’s final stat line (4-81-1) against the Bills was encouraging, and if you started him, congratulations.
Don’t count on it.
Not only was Joe Flacco far from consistent, but he didn’t get Pierce fed until the game was decided (33 yards and a touchdown came on the final drive of the one-sided contest). Garbage time isn’t something I expect to be a part of Sunday’s game against the Jets, making Pierce’s 22.5 aDOT for the season an auto-fade.
Through 10 weeks, the Jets are the ninth-best defense in terms of opponent deep completion percentage and the second-best at preventing deep touchdown passes. Pierce has yet to show the ability to consistently earn targets; in this spot, the risk far outweighs the slim chance that he connects on a splash play that earns him double-digit points.
