Alec Pierce aggravated heel injury, will miss at least several weeks
ProFootballTalk reports Alec Pierce aggravated a heel injury and will miss at least several weeks as Indianapolis sits at 0-2. He is listed as Out.
As the Colts try to turn around a season that has started with two straight losses (and now nine in a row), they'll be missing one of their highest-paid players, for multiple weeks.
Sharp take
Sharp SixBenchRight · −6.9 under the linePierce carries 7.0 points of value over replacement, which is not the kind of edge you hold a roster spot for over multiple weeks. He is rostered in 100% of field teams and he put up 10.1 FFPC points in Week 1, so the tie-breaker is entirely about your bench depth, not his ceiling. If you have a bye-week hole or a live waiver target, he is the cut. If your bench is dead weight anyway, stash him and stop thinking about it.
