BALLER MOVE: Monitor in Weeks 14 & 15; Stream in All Leagues for Week 16
OWNED IN: 25% Fleaflicker
ANALYSIS: There is a lot to like here. Mitchell saw 10 targets in the Patriots Week 13 victory over the Rams, catching eight of them for a solid 82 yards. He didn’t score a touchdown, but he got greedy last week with two TDs anyway. Mitchell has now strung together a helpful three-week span, and the opportunity looks ripe here with Rob Gronkowski’s hulking target share on the shelf. There is some cold water to pour on the hot coals though, as the Patriots now have to do battle with Baltimore and Denver. Those teams are very good at defense, if you didn't know, and may force the Patriots to get extremely creative rather than simply relying on their perimeter receiver. If you survive until their matchup with the Jets in Week 16 though, we could see another two-TD game out of Mitchell for sure.
