22-Year-Old Wide ReceiverWR
Indianapolis Colts
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Mitchell seems to be a forgotten man, at least in fantasy circles, despite being drafted 52nd overall last spring after running a 4.34 40-yard dash at 6-foot-2, 205 pounds. He spent most of his rookie year as the Colts' No. 4 wide receiver, behind fellow Day 2 picks Michael Pittman, Josh Downs and Alec Pierce. The rookie drew targets on 28.2 percent of his routes, but he caught only 41.8 percent of those chances -- by far the lowest rate among players with 50-plus targets. QB Anthony Richardson was part of the problem, and a 14.7 aDOT further helps to explain Mitchell's terrible catch rate, but there were also a couple drops and a handful of other missed connections on which the wideout appeared at fault. And while it won't come as any surprise if Mitchell improves in his second season, he's still subject to most of the same limiting conditions outside of his control, facing fierce competition for snaps and targets in an offense with Richardson and/or Daniel Jones slinging passes.

Key mistakes in loss to Rams
WRIndianapolis Colts
September 28, 2025
Mitchell recorded three receptions on four targets for 96 yards in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Rams.
ANALYSIS
Mitchell saw an increased role with Alec Pierce (concussion) sidelined, but the second-year wideout's positive moments were overshadowed by two huge gaffes. Mitchell should have had a momentum-changing 76-yard touchdown reception early in the third quarter, but he held the ball out before crossing the goal line and fumbled through the back of the end zone for a touchback. He was later called for a holding penalty that nullified a 53-yard touchdown run by Jonathan Taylor. Mitchell has second-round pedigree and the athleticism to make splash plays, but Sunday's performance was a missed opportunity to establish himself as a reliable option for Daniel Jones.

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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Blunders cost Indy two TDs
WRIndianapolis Colts
September 28, 2025
Mitchell made two costly plays that took two touchdowns off the board for the Colts in what ended up being a 27-20 loss to the Rams in Week 4, Saad Yousuf and James Boyd of The Athletic report.
ANALYSIS
Mitchell made a spectacular catch along the sidelines early in the third quarter. However, what should have been a 76-yard touchdown turned into a disaster after the second-year wideout lost control of the ball right before crossing into the end zone, which resulted in a touchback for the Rams when it went out the back of the end zone. Mitchell made another costly mistake in the fourth quarter, when he was called for a holding penalty that negated a 53-yard touchdown run for Jonathan Taylor that would've given the Colts the lead. Even with those errors, Mitchell should continue to see increased work on offense if Alec Pierce is unable to clear the league's concussion protocol ahead of the Colts' Week 5 clash against the Raiders on Sunday, Oct. 5.
