BALLER MOVE: Sit in All Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR61
ANALYSIS: Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Adonai Mitchell was a popular sleeper candidate entering the year. Unfortunately, the rookie is only the WR96 for the year, averaging 2.1 half-point PPR fantasy points per game. While many expected the former Texas star to be the No. 2 wide receiver opposite Michael Pittman Jr., Alec Pierce has filled the role over the first two weeks.
Furthermore, Mitchell’s fantasy outlook took another hit this week, with Josh Downs expected to make his season debut tomorrow against the Chicago Bears. The second-year receiver hasn’t played because of a high-ankle sprain he suffered in training camp. Mitchell will revert to the No. 4 wide receiver role and have difficulty earning snaps and targets.

Therefore, fantasy players should avoid starting the rookie receiver in any format this week. Not only will he struggle to see targets, but Mitchell also has an awful matchup. The Bears have one of the top pass defenses in the NFL, giving up only 21 receptions for 268 receiving yards and one touchdown to wide receivers this season, with Nico Collins accounting for most of that production.
