No receptions Monday Pierce did not have a reception on two targets in Monday's loss to Pittsburgh.

Impact Pierce has disappeared in the Indy offense after a promising first half of the season. He has just four receptions and 14 targets in his last four games, including two games with no receptions. With Jelani Woods having a big game (eight catches) and Parris Campbell improving after a terrible first half of the season, Pierce's role in the passing game may continue to suffer even if this is a short-term slump.

Weak production on eight targets Pierce caught three passes for 28 yards on eight targets against Philadelphia on Sunday.

Impact Pierce's target count was encouraging, and his weak efficiency is rationalized by the fact that it was a very difficult matchup. Pierce saw a lot of Darius Slay, the top Eagles corner and one of the league's best corners in general. The Steelers don't have any such cover men on their defense, so Pierce has a good chance to get back on track against Pittsburgh in Week 12.

No receptions Sunday Pierce did not have a reception on two targets in Sunday's win at Las Vegas.

Impact Pierce played on 37 of the offense's 64 snaps and notably wasn't a starter (Austin Dulin started in a three-WR set). He had clicked with Matt Ryan earlier in the season, so it would have seemed the move back to Ryan as the starting quarterback would help Pierce. It's possible the coaching change to Jeff Saturday has moved Pierce back in the game plan, meaning this performance can't be entirely written off.

Just one reception in loss Pierce had one reception for 23 yards on two targets in Sunday's loss at New England.

Impact Sam Ehlinger passed for just 103 yards as the Colts struggled in a blowout loss, so it's hard to read too much into this performance. The Colts have a much better matchup at Las Vegas last week, but Ehlinger's struggles could limit Pierce to only a few deep balls per game.

Leads Colts in receiving yards Pierce recorded three receptions on five targets for 65 yards in Sunday's 17-16 loss to the Commanders.

Impact Pierce's line isn't all that impressive on its own, but he made a couple of athletic catches and was regularly targeted deep down the field. His performance was highlighted by a 47-yard catch, the Colts' longest play from scrimmage. While the switch from Matt Ryan to Sam Ehlinger at quarterback could hurt the likes of Michael Pittman and Jonathan Taylor, Pierce is one potential beneficiary due to the relative arm strength of each signal-caller combined with Pierce's role in the offense.

Just three receptions Pierce had three receptions for 37 yards on four targets in Sunday's loss at Tennessee.

Impact Pierce has become a favorite target of Matt Ryan, but he didn't get many looks Sunday with the passing offense struggling. Ryan needed to check down to shorter targets while constantly under pressure, leading to nine targets for Michael Pittman in the slot and five for running back Nyheim Hines.
