Who Should I Start? Adonai Mitchell or Isaiah Bond

Friday, October 17, 8:37 PM

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Adonai Mitchell will be active in Week 7 against the Los Angeles Chargers after he was inactive in Week 6 and played just six snaps in Week 5. The Colts effectively benched Mitchell after he made several mistakes in a Week 4 loss to the Los Angeles Rams, but they will turn back to him with both Josh Downs (concussion) and Ashton Dulin (chest) inactive for Week 7. The Chargers represent a tough matchup for Mitchell as they are allowing just the 30th-most fantasy points per game to receivers this season. It also remains to be seen just how much the Colts use Mitchell in Week 7, even with him active. He should not be in fantasy lineups against the Chargers this weekend.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Isaiah Bond turned in a quiet outing in a Week 6 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, catching just two of his five targets for nine yards. The rookie wideout will now look to bounce back at home in a Week 7 contest against the Miami Dolphins. Bond has ascended to the WR2 role in Cleveland with Cedric Tillman (hamstring) out, but he has yet to turn that into production on the field, as his best performance is a three-catch, 58-yard outing in Week 4 against the Detroit Lions. The Dolphins have been unable to do much right on defense this season, although they have been decent against receivers, allowing just the 23rd-most fantasy points per game to the position. Bond is a low-end flex play who should probably remain on fantasy benches this weekend.
