IR with a 'hopes to return' tag is not a fantasy asset, it's a bench slot you can't afford to keep occupying. Pierce was a WR3 flyer at best with a 105 sharp rank and single-digit VOR, not a player you stash on faith. Drop him in redraft leagues and grab someone who can actually play Sunday. Dynasty guys can stash if the bench spot is free, but don't get sentimental about it.
