Who Should I Start? Dyami Brown or Adonai Mitchell

Tuesday, August 19, 12:19 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dyami Brown (lower body) was a full practice participant at training camp on Tuesday after he was held out of the team's second preseason game on Sunday against the New Orleans Saints with stiffness in his lower body, according to Mia O'Brien. First-round receiver/defensive back Travis Hunter (upper body) also missed Sunday's exhibition contest and is day-to-day. Jacksonville's receiving corps is a little banged up, but Brown's and Hunter's injuries aren't serious enough to put them in danger of missing Week 1 of the regular season. The 25-year-old Brown has made some noise in camp this summer as he battles for the WR3 role with Parker Washington behind Hunter and Brian Thomas Jr. He had a career-best 308 receiving yards and one touchdown in 16 games for the Commanders in 2024, but Brown will be left to the waiver wire in most 12-team fantasy formats.

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.
