October 30, 2024
The Ravens placed Pierce (calf) on injured reserve Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Pierce failed to record a stat across 13 defensive snaps before sustaining a calf injury in the Ravens' Week 8 loss to the Browns. The issue now appears serious enough to land Pierce on IR, forcing him to miss Baltimore's next four games. His earliest possible return would be in Week 13 against the Eagles. Expect Broderick Washington to see additional reps with the Ravens' first-team defense while Pierce is sidelined over the coming weeks.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2021
2018
Pierce signed a three-year, $27 million contract in March 2020, but he later opted out of the 2020 season due to concerns about his asthma. He and Dalvin Tomlinson should form one of the better interior run-stuffing duos in the league, with Sheldon Richardson likely coming off the bench to provide a pass rush. The 28-year-old Pierce had 151 tackles but only 3.5 sacks in four seasons with the Ravens, mostly serving as a nose tackle on early downs.
The Samford product has played in all 32 games to this point in his NFL career, racking up 51 tackles and 3.0 sacks from the defensive interior. Built like a fire hydrant at 6-foot, 340 pounds, Pierce eats up space and moves offensive linemen with his strength and leverage, allowing fellow linemen like Brandon Williams to hunt down the ball carrier. He'll reprise that role again in 2018 as a starter in Baltimore's front.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Week 9 return expected
DTMinnesota Vikings
November 3, 2021
Pierce, currently sidelined by an elbow injury, is expected to play Sunday against Baltimore, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Pierce has missed each of the team's last three games with the injury. Prior to getting hurt, Pierce had recorded two sacks and nine tackles while playing around 50 percent of the team's defensive snaps. If he were to return Week 9, Pierce would provide a boost to a Vikings defensive front that will be looking to slow down a run-heavy Ravens offense.
