Alec Pierce activated off PUP by Colts

Alec Pierce activated off PUP

The Indianapolis Colts are activating wide receiver Alec Pierce off the PUP list, per Adam Schefter, who credited @mchappell51 with the initial report. Pierce had ankle surgery in March and has been working toward a return.

What this means for his fantasy value

Activation off PUP means Pierce can begin practicing and ramping up with the team. The Colts are targeting the regular-season opener for his return, which suggests they expect him healthy on time.

If he hits that timeline, Pierce re-enters Indianapolis's receiver depth chart as a player worth monitoring on the waiver wire in redraft leagues and as an asset to track in dynasty. His status heading into Week 1 is now worth watching.
