Who Should I Start? Adonai Mitchell or Roman Wilson

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.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Roman Wilson finished with two receptions for 72 yards on four targets in a 17-14 preseason loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The second-year pro did all of his damage in the contest's opening quarter. He ran past multiple defenders to secure a 42-yard deep ball from Mason Rudolph and later found space on a crossing route to gain 30 yards on a pass from Skylar Thompson. After a rookie season plagued by injuries, Wilson has shown promise heading into the 2025-2026 campaign. With teammate Calvin Austin III (abdomen) currently injured, Wilson has a clear path to earning the WR2 role behind D.K. Metcalf. The 24-year-old will look to build on this strong performance in Pittsburgh's final exhibition game against the Carolina Panthers.
