Alec Pierce or Jordan Addison: Who Should You Start?

The call

• Role isn't the issue: 86% snap share and an 18% target share over 15 games means he's on the field for everything Indy runs.
• The problem is the price of admission — WR47 at 9.7 projected points sits below the typical WR3/flex cut line in a 12-team PPR league, and PPR scoring doesn't flatter a low-volume field-stretcher.
• Availability is the swing factor: the sheet lists him as PUP-P with status normalized to unknown, so this call is unstartable until his game status clears.
• Matchup offers no tiebreaker — the DvP composite ranks Baltimore 24 of 32 (softer end) but it's built on a 0-game sample at 0.00 confidence, so treat it as noise. A 23.0 implied total with a 3.5-point spread points to a competitive script rather than a pass-heavy chase.

The call

• The role is not the problem: 85% snap share and a 21% target share over 14 games make Addison a locked-in WR2 who gets fed regardless of script.
• The matchup is neutral at best — Green Bay grades 17 of 32 in the DvP composite, and that number carries a 0-game sample with 0.00 confidence, so there's no edge to bank on.
• A 21.5 implied team total with a 1.5-point spread points to a tight, moderate-scoring game — enough passing volume to matter, not enough to project a spike week.
• Tiebreaker: start him if your alternative is a sub-15% target-share flyer; sit him if you have a WR attached to a higher implied total or a genuinely soft coverage matchup.
