Colts WR Alec Pierce racked up 134 yards and a TD on just 3 receptions in Sunday's loss to the Jaguars. He crew just 3 targets, tying for sixth on the team, but continued to run the second-most pass routes. Pierce trailed only WR Michael Pittman Jr. in that category.
Pierce's 3 targets trailed the 7 for rookie WR Adonai Mitchell. But he ran nearly four times as many routes -- 40-12, according to Pro Football Focus.
The Colts leaned particularly hard on Pierce late in a game that found them trailing the entire second half. All of Pierce's receptions came in the game's final 5 minutes. Mitchell played just one snap in the fourth quarter, according to PFF.
Neither guy should be in week-to-week lineup plans unless you play in an especially deep league.
And QB Anthony Richardson's impending return from an oblique injury will hurt the team's passing volume.
Kyle Pitts and others have produced above expectation lately. See who might be headed for regression to the mean -- in a positive or negative direction.
