squistion 12,451 Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 (edited) Couldn't find a thread on this guy to bump. One of my favorite rookies after the top choices are gone. Had 4 catches for 55 yards tonight in the pre-season opener before suffering what appeared to be a season ending gruesome elbow injury. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atINYtkxS0k However, it looks like it was not serious as first feared, although he still needs an MRI: http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nfl/11312/malcolm-mitchell The Boston Herald reports Patriots WR Malcolm Mitchell has been diagnosed with a dislocated left elbow, but may only miss four weeks. The injury had the looks of a potential season-ender, so it's extremely good news. It still knocks Mitchell out for the rest of the preseason, and leaves him doubtful for Week 1. He needs a Friday MRI to confirm the extent of the damage. Either way, injured reserve is probably no longer in his future. Mitchell is an intriguing stash in Dynasty leagues, but not a re-draft consideration. Aug 11 - 11:09 PM Edited August 1, 2018 by squistion 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Faust 5,000 Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Quote An MRI on Patriots WR Malcolm Mitchell's dislocated elbow came back clean. That's exactly what the Patriots were hoping for. Mitchell suffered a horrible-looking elbow injury after hauling in a catch in Thursday's preseason opener against the Saints but it looks like he might only miss four weeks. If that timeline holds, Mitchell could be ready for Week 1 against the Cardinals. Mitchell was having a great debut before he got hurt (four catches for 55 yards) and makes for an interesting dynasty stash. Source: Adam Caplan on Twitter Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You may need to reset your expectations of where you can get him (unless you are talking IDP). This injury might give his value a slight hit. Took him in 3 leagues (2.02 to 2.10) and wasn't expecting much his rookie season, but the injury may set him back so he probably won't be a reliable flex play this season. That said, still excited about his long term prospects and realistically he still should not make it out of the 2nd round in most drafts so I would target him 2.05 - 2.08 range.

Faust 5,000 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Quote Patriots WR Malcolm Mitchell (dislocated elbow) was in full pads for Monday's practice. In other words, if he's not completely fine, he's close to it. Mitchell's Thursday injury had the looks of a season-ender, but ended up being little more than a scare. Injuries have always been Mitchell's bugaboo, but this isn't going to be the one that fells him. Mitchell offers a lot of upside for a fourth-rounder, but is still much more of a Dynasty than re-draft consideration for 2016.

elguapo07 295 Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 (edited) I think he can be a better LaFell for the Pats. I'm talking the LaFell of '14 who went 74/953/7td. Don' t think he reaches that level this year but certainly I can see him hitting that level in '17 or '18. Dobson sucks, not sure if he'll be on the roster week 1. Mitchell looked real good and if he doesn't miss much time I can see him contributing this year as possibly their 4th/5th receiving option. I'm buying.

Faust 5,000 Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Quote ESPN Patriots reporter Mike Reiss considers rookie Malcolm Mitchell the leading candidate for the starting "X" receiver job. As it stands now, Mitchell will man the X, Julian Edelman the Z, and Chris Hogan the slot. Danny Amendola, Keshawn Martin, and Aaron Dobson are behind them. While Mitchell being a starter seems nice, he's deep down the target totem pole in this setup, especially when we factor in Rob Gronkowski, Martellus Bennett, and Dion Lewis. Mitchell is more of a Dynasty stash. Source: ESPN.com Aug 17 - 2:07 PM Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FGITLOTR 343 Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 I'll start the crazy talk. With Kelvin facing the Seattle D this week, I'm starting Mitchell over him. With Gronk almost certainly out this week, it bodes well for Michell. There is no comparison between he and Hogan. In dynasty leagues, this kid has a bright future Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bfrahm3 224 Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Drafted him in dynasty but with him doing nothing early on and having some injury problems I had to drop him. Will probably try and get him back since I could easily see him becoming the pats #1 WR as soon as next year. Edelman still gets his targets but he is getting older and though he hasn't had problems this year always had small injuries. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Anarchy99 6,133 Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 I would expect NE to run a lot of sets with White and Lewis together out of the backfield, Edelman on one side, and a rotation of Mitchell and Hogan on the other. Bennett most likely will be kept in to block quite a bit. Edelman will see lots of targets, both RBs should be PPR options, and Mitchell probably won't see a ton of targets and will be somewhat TD dependent for fantasy purposes.

I believe he can be a championship difference maker and I thought so last week when I went around picking him up. Just for starters, considering the hobbled state of Marty B's ankle and maybe shoulder, he might be the best red zone option on the team right now. He's not a big guy but he's got huge 10.5 inch hands and from what I see he knows how to utilize them to make the kind of contested catches you need to make in the end zone. You also have the fact that Edelman and Hogan have been living on the injury report most of the season. Some might say just NE playing Patriot games but Hogan has missed some time with his back and Edelman's numbers are a little down across the board. I also think the Patriots might want to get him more up to speed for the playoffs and increase his playing time over last few weeks while trying to increase rest for Edelman and maybe Hogan. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dion or White out of the backfield can be contained. So you really think Mitchell is a PPR difference maker? Seriously yes. Inman is a player whose value is contingent upon Tyrell's health. Yes he just had one good week but Mitchell has had two. (Yes I have Inman but won't play him unless we know that Tyrell is limited or out.) Rawls as all Seattle RB's this year have been underperformers because of the o-line. Landry has been demoted simply because of the emergence of Ajayi. Mitchell has potential to be a season winner for fantasy players especially with Bennett hobbled. I'm expecting 7 catches-80 yards and a score this week. Not bad for a flex.
