Sharp take
Sharp SixFadeIR with no timetable and a heel that has already been operated on once is not a stash, it is a roster spot you are renting out for free. Pierce was giving you 2.1 points in Week 2 and sits at WR105 in sharp rank with 7.0 points of value over replacement, which is the statistical definition of replaceable. Indianapolis is a 3.0-point underdog in a 42.5-point total, so there is not much being vacated either. Cut him unless your IR slot is empty and costs you nothing. If it costs you something, this is an easy decision.
