Adonai Mitchell Fighting an Uphill Battle for Playing Time in Indianapolis

Tuesday, October 28, 9:38 PM

Ever since he dropped the football just before crossing the goal line for a costly fumble in Week 4, Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Adonai Mitchell has struggled to see the field. Across his last three games played, the 23-year-old has recorded one catch for eight yards on three targets. Mitchell played 89% of the Colts' offensive snaps in Week 4, but he's failed to crack 17% of the snaps since. Indianapolis has a trio of talented wideouts in Michael Pittman Jr., Josh Downs, and Alec Pierce, so there's not a huge need for Mitchell's services as long as the team's top three wide receivers are healthy. Mitchell has flashed upside at points in his career, but he appears to be facing an uphill battle for playing time in Indianapolis. Barring an injury to a player ahead of him on the depth chart or a trade, Mitchell can likely remain off the radar of redraft fantasy managers.

Devaughn Vele Sees Season High Five Targets in Week 8

Wednesday, October 29, 12:38 AM

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Devaughn Vele caught one of his five targets for 10 yards in their Week 8 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Vele played a season high 51.4% of the snaps and had his most targets in a game since Week 12 of last season with the Broncos. The 27-year-old was traded to the Saints for a fourth-round pick in late August and has mostly held a depth role through eight games, catching five of 10 targets for 39 yards and a touchdown. Barring a trade to either Chris Olave or Rashid Shaheed, Vele is unlikely to be relevant for fantasy purposes this season.
