Report: Colts WR Alec Pierce had second PRP injection

Aug 11, 2026

Nathan Brown of the Indianapolis Star reports that Pierce underwent a second PRP injection since then to help with lingering soreness and speed up healing. The injection was not due to a setback in his rehab, Brown adds.

Fantasy Impact:

Pierce has not seen the practice field in 2026. The story reminded us that Pierce underwent what the Colts originally called a “clean-up” surgery on his left ankle in late March. Pierce had hoped to avoid surgery by taking a platelet-rich plasma injection after the 2025 season. He was given a 4-6-month recovery timeline, putting the start of the season in doubt, the story added. The team has not given a timeline, and it's unclear if the second injection could set him back. But, it doesn't seem like good news. If Pierce has to miss time, Warren and Downs could benefit the most in terms of targets and workload.

Jets Beat: WR Garrett Wilson focal point of passing game

One thing is clear: Garrett Wilson is a focal point of the passing attack. The Jets and offensive coordinator Frank Reich want to get him the ball. He’ll see his targets.

Fantasy Impact:

The story went on to describe how Wilson is more of a player who gets to an area on the field, then gets open – that’s his superpower. As a result, the story went on, it takes a little bit for a quarterback and receiver like that to get on the same page. But, the story added, Smith and Wilson are starting to find that chemistry in practices and their relationship continues to grow.

Jets Beat: Looks like team will feature RB Breece Hall

yesterday · 8:25 PM EDT

The Jets gave Breece Hall a contract extension this offseason, and it looks like they plan on featuring him more prominently as their lead back this season.

Related players: Braelon Allen, Isaiah Davis

Fantasy Impact:

The story pointed out that HC Aaron Glenn, going into his first season, made it a point to stress a backfield committee, implying a near-even split between Hall, Allen and Davis. The story added that all three will likely be involved, but it's been clear the focus is on Hall. What could be even better news is Hall has looked good this summer, the story said, as has Allen.

Chargers may use 'hot hand' at RB

Mike McDaniel on the running back share between Omarion Hampton, Kimani Vidal and Keaton Mitchell:

“Bad news, fantasy owners. Good news is I see all three of those guys producing at a very high level. Bad news is I can’t tell you which games those are.”

Fantasy Impact:

The post went on to say McDaniel added he’ll probably use all three every game, with the workload depending on the opponent and “hot hand.” It's not the first time it's been reported the Chargers may go with a committee at the position. Hampton is probably still the back to own and comes with the best draft capital at least. He's coming into his second season after missing time as a rookie. Vidal filled in nicely for him at times last season. In a nine-week span between Week 6 and Week 15, Vidal had over 12 carries in seven of those weeks. Mitchell is coming from Baltimore where he burst on the scene in 2023 producing several big plays over eight games before being injured most of 2024. Last season, Mitchell averaged just over five touches a game and could see a similar role with the Chargers.
