WR Adonai Mitchell, IND (1 Viewer)

Downs dealing with a toe injury as well and didn't practice today. Wonder if Mitchell is going to get those targets now or if Pierce will get more than usual.
If Pittman and Downs are both down, I expect Pierce's activity to increase significantly. Dulin's snap count (and possibly target share) would also probably increase. He played over 40% of the snaps before Downs came back in week 3. Mitchell just doesn't strike me as ready to to take the leap. Who knows though, I've been proven wrong before and the guy's athleticism really jumps off the screen if you watch him. Mitchell is probably worth a pre-emptive flyer for that reason alone, but I'm not expecting much and certainly not starting him.
 
With Pittman out and Downs hurting, would really appreciate this nascent Alpha to experience a growth-spurt.

I know there's more to Alec Pierce than meets the eye, and he certainly has some untapped potential to be mined.

Please, Ashton Dulin, don't go mucking up the works. TIA.
 
This could be the last week to pick him up for free. Let’s not forget how Richardson missed him deep twice in week one for 2 missed touchdowns

So we should pick him up so Richardson can miss him in the end zone again?
That’s not what he’s saying. A better QB (Flacco) connects with Mitchell on those plays. Mitchell’s numbers could be better than they are, but it’s going to depend on who the QB is. If Steichen puts Richardson back in there then that will put a damper on the passing game. Sticks with Flacco and Mitchell has intriguing upside. For now though Downs and Pierce are the safer bets.

Exactly. Flacco is a huge factor in this. Downs is dealing with a toe too
 
Mitchell has also had a couple ugly drop. Let’s not pretend the low production is only about poor QB play
Nobody’s pretending anything but that’s a fair point, Mitchell has shown alligator arms recently. Wasn’t long ago that Pierce was being criticized for the same problem though.

I don't remember Pierce being criticized for drops, but I'll take your word for it.

Drops can be a mental hurdle or a technique issue. With Mitchel, it seems like it's a little bit of both.

Mental hurdles seem like they can be cleared a lot easier than technique issues that have been repped since pee wee football though. Clearing those means countless hours of hard work to change what you've been doing for a decade plus. I don't know if I trust Mitchell to put in that kind of work. I've said it before, but his profile screams Denzel Mims to me. Maybe that's fair, maybe it's not. I hope he proves me wrong because I acquired him for almost nothing. If he turns into anything at all, I don't think his value will ever be lower. If you believe, now's the time to pounce.

Pierce his rookie year https://x.com/NimblewNumbers/status/1569017939948347392

Pierce last year https://x.com/RomeovilleKid/status/1690418765962326016

Does look like a third year breakout is in the works though. I was wrong earlier about Pierce being WR4 on the team, he's probably WR1 right now with Pittman on the shelf.

As for Mitchell I agree it's down to mentality and technique. He's shying away from contact and not completing his routes. If he cleans up his game, and gets quality targets, he can be a force in fantasy football. Until then he's a wait-and-see rookie WR. Pierce is the Colts WR to own if you want fantasy production right now. Mitchell is who I like to be an alpha long term, but I'm also betting on him making the necessary improvements to get there.

Thanks. I did believe you, but I’ve followed him relatively closely and didn’t remember any of that. Maybe a see what you wanna see situation. I do believe Pierce has relatively small hands for his size, but in today’s league where stickum is legal in the form of gloves, it’s probably less important of a metric.
 
I have to start this guy this week. 16 team redraft Adams/Pittman/Pacheko etc.

I was hoping for Flacco but it looks like Richardson is going to play :(

Still not a terrible dart throw if you're in a deep league. He's capable of catching a long one for a TD, maybe a lot more. When I'm hurting across the board like you are I'd much rather take a chance on a low floor high ceiling guy than a guy I know is likely to get me 4-5 points, nothing more, nothing less.

Just watched all his targets from last week. He did have one rep where he would’ve been hit hard and made a “business decision.” Didn’t look good on him but he usually gets a ton of separation and Flacco looked for him a lot. With Pittman and possibly Downs not playing I think he’ll get plenty of looks underneath as well as a couple deep shots. If Flacco plays I think he has a good game.

I've applauded his separation going back to week 1. But the fact is, he isn't connecting with his QB. Could be he's not the right spot. Could be anything but the stats don't lie. He has a 30% catch rate on the season. 6 catches on 20 targets. The drop you mention wasn't the only ugly drop he's had this season. He's had 3 recorded drops this season. Even if Pittman and Downs don't play (I believe we'll see Downs), Mitchell doesn't suddenly become some complete WR they pepper with targets, especially against a tough defense. My guess is the Colts try to go run heavy/ball control and hope the Titans make mistakes on offense. Mitchell's been given opportunities. He might turn into something, but he has a long way to go. Don't forget about Dulin if Downs doesn't play.

I agree. I think we can bank on him improving as the season goes on. I remember Justin Jefferson starting slow his rookie year. I think after week 4 Jefferson became a must start. Not saying he’s anything near JJ, just saying it’s normal for rookies to start slow. Changing QBs certainly plays a factor as well.
 
I was not on his train in the summer, but the buzz has been pretty consistent, and he's a special athlete. (I was out in this guy and Brian Thomas, looks like two whiffs).

Only from a dynasty lens, I think the arrow is pointing in the right direction. And after the "business decision" play which got some traction, I might now be higher on him than consensus. Maybe a lot higher.

I could see a lot of things breaking his way. For one, ARich isn't throwing for 300 yards, but that can change. Bad QB situations become good ones quickly.

For another, I think there's a good chance Michael Pittman is only decent. If I thought Pittman was a true #1, that would cap AD. But Pittman has been a compiler in IND. I drafted this guy as a rookie, and I cannot recall a special game from him.

Fully agree. Pittman has always stuck me as a solid #2 WR, if Mitchell is up to it, Pittman isn't a huge roadblock.

I was in on both Mitchell and Thomas (more out on Worthy and Coleman) so time will tell with all of these.

We'll learn some this week with Pittman and likely Downs out. I think Pierce is pretty 1 dimensional, and Indy has no TE of note.

Pittman isn't a huge roadblock.
I think two things can be true.

That Pittman was a bad extension, which I was saying this off-season. Even with high WR salaries paying $22M to a possession WR who rarely gets in the end zone was to way to much IMO. So I think it's safe to say I feel the same way as you both do about Pittman, but.....

They are paying him $22M and it's to be a high volume possession WR and he's no going anywhere until end of 2025 at the earliest. Thus he is in fact a tremendous roadblock.

Add in that Downs is a high volume target earner, and IMO the best WR on the team if he can hold up from a health angle, and it's a double roadblock, only made worse when AR15 is the QB.

I'm big on AD's upside long term, real big, thought he and Brian Thomas ,who I loved ,were kind of similar, and I'm putting him in some lineups this week so the here and now looks promising as well. But when all the WR's and AR15 is healthy I doubt he'll ever be in a lineup of mine except out of desperation. Not until 2026 anyway when they can get out of Pittmans deal.

My guess is he'll end up being the classic third year breakout WR.

If he goes 5/110/2 this week my opinion won't change.

I'm not saying Mitchell can't become something, but Justin Jefferson is a horrible mention. They shouldn't be discussed in the same sentence, it's not fair to either. One is a freak athlete with a lot of question marks, the other was known for his route running and football IQ but had another gear no one really knew he possessed. Jefferson looked absolutely special in the preseason which paired with all the draft nerd buzz is why I drafted him everywhere. He was electric in the preseason which I usually wouldn't put much stock in, but he just had "it." Jefferson's first two games weren't great, Cousins threw for 95 yards in one of them, but in his third game in the NFL JJ went for 7 catches, 175 yards and a TD. The rest is history. Jefferson might be the best WR I've ever seen because everything he can do, and that's not really hyperbole at this point. It's mind-boggling that Ruggs, Jeudy and Raegor were all drafted before him. I hope none of those GMs still have jobs in the NFL.

i agree, just mentioning how rookie wrs might take time to get going. My memory was wrong I thought it was week 4 where he blew up
 
Agree about liking his talent but not the situation over the next few years. May have a decent short-term window here though to become a bigger factor going forward.
 
Downs returned to practice today and it sounds like there's a chance Richardson returns this week. For anyone that was planning on starting Mitchell this week, it may be time to reconsider those plans.

Pittman also practiced in full I believe. If true, reading the tea leaves, Mitchell may be making progress in practice as Wayne suggests. Whenever a player of Pittman's status and situation rushes back to the field through injury it always makes me wonder who's coming behind him.

ETA - I don't hate AR for a player like Mitchell. Guys like AR don't really throw on anticipation, they throw on what they see, and it's undeniable AM is getting separation. On top of that, Richardson doesn't seem bad throwing it deep.
 
How the hell do any of us legislate usage for these Colts WR's? Downs short-medium targets, Pittman medium targets, Pierce deep targets? What exactly is AD Mitchell's role? He seems to be a mix of all three of the guys and that won't get you on the field when each of these guys are better than him at the things they are respectively doing.

Feels like Wicks all over again. I think AD Mitchell needs Downs or Pittman to miss a ton of games...it's like Jaylen Wright too.
