Colts placing Alec Pierce on IR: Big-play WR aggravated heel injury, hopes to return this year
CBS Sports reports the Colts are placing Alec Pierce on injured reserve after he aggravated the left heel he had surgery on this offseason. He hopes to return later this season.
Pierce underwent surgery on his left heel this offseason
Sharp take
Sharp SixBenchIR means a minimum absence, and Pierce was giving you 2.1 points before it happened. He is rostered in every league that exists, with a season projection of 177.9 and a value over replacement of 7.0, which is another way of saying he is a bench body with upside on a team that is a 3-point underdog in a 42.5-point game. That is not a roster spot worth protecting for weeks on a heel that already needed surgery once. Drop him for anything with a pulse and a target share if your bench is tight. Stash him if you have the room to be patient.
