BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 26% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: It's hard to trust the Colts' passing offense right now. In Week 1, Anthony Richardson completed just nine passes, and that number only rose to 17 completions last week. As a result, rookie wide receiver Adonai Mitchell might not have much fantasy value in his first season.
That has certainly been the case early on, as Mitchell has caught just two passes for 32 yards across his first two career games. Still, he's worth an add in most 14-plus team leagues because of his potential upside in the second half of the season.
Adonai Mitchell could have easily gone for 150+ and 2 TDs yesterday

Mitchell was drafted in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft and totaled 11 touchdowns in his final college season at Texas. If there are any positives with the rookie after just two games, it's that he has seen at least four targets in each of his first two games while playing over 55% of the offensive snaps in both contests. So, fantasy managers should take a chance on him in deeper formats.
