Who Should I Start? Adonai Mitchell or Jack Bech

Sunday, August 24, 7:50 AM

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Adonai Mitchell caught his lone target for a four-yard gain in a 41-14 preseason win over the Cincinnati Bengals on Saturday. Mitchell got the start but was overshadowed by Laquon Treadwell, who popped off for 116 yards and a touchdown in the win. The second-year receiver's spot on the roster is safe but he appears to be behind Michael Pittman Jr., Josh Downs, and Alec Pierce on the depth chart. That being said, Downs is already dealing with a hamstring injury, a situation that could give Mitchell a larger role early in the season. For now, Mitchell is nothing more than a late-round dart throw in fantasy drafts.

Las Vegas Raiders rookie wideout Jack Bech enters 2025 as a depth option in Chip Kelly's retooled offense. A second-round pick and former second-team All-Big 12 performer, Bech managed just four preseason receptions but flashed traits that have coaches intrigued. His combination of size, toughness, and ball skills make him a reliable possession target, while his body control and catch focus allow him to win contested situations. Though early-season opportunities may be limited, Bech's ability to battle defenders, track the ball downfield, and generate yards after contact could earn him a larger role as the season progresses.
