2024 Fantasy Outlook
The Colts used the 52nd pick in the 2024 draft on Mitchell, a combine standout who was never his team's top receiver in college. He had just 560 yards in two seasons at Georgia behind WR Ladd McConkey and TE Brock Bowers, before coming into his own at Texas in 2023 with a 55-845-11 receiving line on 92 targets (28 fewer looks than first-round pick Xavier Worthy). There was talk of Mitchell sneaking into the first round after the 2024 Combine, where he had the longest broad jump (136 inches) and third-fastest 40 time (4.34 second) among wide receivers -- while checking in at 6-2, 205. Physically, he's the prototype for a No. 1 receiver, and with plenty of upside for continued development given that he'll turn 22 in October. He figures to replace Alec Pierce as the deep threat alongside Michael Pittman and slot man Josh Downs, with the Colts obviously hoping Mitchell won't be as one-dimensional as Pierce (though it might take some time). Big-time volume in Year 1 is unlikely, as the Colts still have Pittman locked in for a large target share and figure to run a lot with QB Anthony Richardson and RB Jonathan Taylor. Read Past Outlooks

Expected to see elevated snaps
With Michael Pittman (back) ruled out, Mitchell is expected to see elevated offensive snaps in Sunday's game against the Bills, Stephen Holder of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
"He's improving, so looking forward to him playing this week," coach Shane Steichen said of Mitchell. The rookie played a season-low five offensive snaps in last Sunday night's loss to the Vikings, but he's expected to bump up the depth chart alongside Josh Downs and Alec Pierce, though Ashton Dulin will also see playing time as a plus blocker in the run game. Mitchell has big-play ability but has been unable to show it yet in the NFL, having failed to reach 40 receiving yards in any game this season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could see larger role vs. Titans
Seth Walder of ESPN.com believes Mitchell could break out against the Titans due to fellow wideouts Michael Pittman and Josh Downs dealing with back and toe injuries, respectively.
ANALYSIS
Mitchell has shown flashes of his potential during his rookie year, but it hasn't translated into a breakout performance through the first five games of the regular season. Pittman and Downs are both listed as questionable for Sunday's game, but if either of them cannot suit up, Mitchell would have an opportunity to see more snaps and targets in the passing game. During the Colts' Week 5 loss against the Jaguars, Mitchell caught four passes on seven targets for 38 yards.
