Who Should I Start? Dareke Young or Adonai Mitchell

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Dareke Young caught three of his four targets for a team-high 44 receiving yards in Saturday's 16-3 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers. The 2022 draftee's catch and target totals also tied for most on the team. He was also involved in Seattle's longest play of the game. Tucked in close to the Seahawks' line, Young was marked only by a linebacker who he easily outran while crossing over the middle. Once open, Sam Howell fired a dart to Young for a gain of 26 yards. Young showed good hands in the game but he is not a viable fantasy option.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Adonai Mitchell is a healthy scratch for the team's Week 6 contest on Sunday against the visiting Arizona Cardinals at Lucas Oil Stadium. With Alec Pierce (concussion) returning after a two-game absence, Mitchell will be the odd man out in Indy's receiving corps. The 23-year-old is firmly in head coach Shane Steichen's doghouse after two big blunders in the Week 4 loss to the Los Angeles Rams that cost the team the game. Mitchell dropped the football just before crossing the goal line in what would have been a long touchdown catch, and then he was called for holding on a big running play that would have gone for a touchdown. After that rough Week 4, Mitchell has fallen down the receiving depth chart for the Colts and is currently behind Michael Pittman Jr., Josh Downs, Pierce, and Ashton Dulin.
