Alec Pierce's Colts Opener in Doubt: Survivor Read

Alec Pierce's Week 1 availability is in question

Adam Schefter has weighed in on whether Colts receiver Alec Pierce will be ready for Indianapolis's season opener, and the short version is that his status isn't locked in. That's the entire extent of what's confirmed right now — a question mark next to a starting wideout heading into Week 1.

What it means for your survivor pick

A cloudy status for one receiver isn't reason to blacklist the Colts, but it's the kind of small unknown that matters when you're staking your season on a single game. If Indianapolis is on your shortlist, hold off on committing until the practice reports and the official Week 1 injury designation clear things up — the last thing you want is to lock a pick before the picture sharpens. Survivor is a game of avoiding avoidable risk, so let the news settle before you decide.
