Alec Pierce vs Trey McBride: Who Should You Start?

Comparing Alec Pierce (WR, Indianapolis Colts) against Trey McBride (TE, Arizona Cardinals) means weighing two different roles in your fantasy lineup. Alec Pierce averaged 10.7 PPG in 2025 over 15 games, while Trey McBride posted 14.9 PPG across 17 games.

Cross-position FLEX decisions cannot be made on PPG alone. Positional scarcity, matchup quality, floor versus ceiling, and league scoring format all shift the answer. A 14 PPG tight end in a thin TE week is often worth more than a 16 PPG receiver in a deep WR week, because the opportunity cost on the waiver wire is wildly different.

DraftCall's AI engine weighs all of these signals and returns a verdict with clear reasoning, so you are not cross-referencing four different rankings tabs on a Sunday morning.

Alec Pierce has his bye in Week 14, Trey McBride in Week 11. Plan your FLEX rotation around those weeks, especially if either player is anchoring your roster.

The Bottom Line

The 2025 numbers favor Trey McBride at 14.9 PPG, 4.2 points per game above Alec Pierce's 10.7. But season stats only tell part of the story. DraftCall's AI factors in weekly matchup, recent form, and injury status to give you a verdict that updates with the latest data.
