Who Should I Start? Jahan Dotson or Adonai Mitchell

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Jahan Dotson will go on the road to face off against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 12. The 24-year-old has been a non-factor for fantasy purposes in 2024 but has the chance to step in as the No. 2 option beside superstar A.J. Brown, as DeVonta Smith (hamstring) has been ruled out. Dotson has just four targets over the past three weeks and is sharing playing time with rookie Johnny Wilson, but with six teams on bye and the matchup against the Rams being great, he will be on the flex radar in Week 12. Wilson should also see his role increase, making both players incredibly risky starts, but Dotson should have a slight edge over the rookie in terms of playing time.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Adonai Mitchell made a splash in Week 10 without Michael Pittman Jr. (six catches, 71 yards) but reverted to his status as the No. 4 receiver in Week 11 (one catch, 33 yards) and will assume that role again in Week 12 with a fully healthy receiving corps. The 22-year-old has speed and uses it for deep targets, sitting just outside the top 10 WRs in aDOT (14.2). However, without volume and with a notoriously inaccurate QB, the former second-round draft pick makes for a very risky fantasy play. If you're looking for a reason to use him, there is a strong possibility that as seven-point underdogs, the Colts will be trying to keep pace with the Lions for the entire game, which could mean a few additional deep targets for the rookie wideout. The product out of the University of Texas is a WR5/6 dart throw, even in a week with six teams on bye.
