Who Should I Start? Jakobi Meyers or Adonai Mitchell

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers is "locked in as a starter" as training camp gets underway, according to Tashan Reed of The Athletic. Reed also notes that Meyers spent most of his time in OTAs working from the slot. The 28-year-old has been a consistent producer across his two seasons in Las Vegas. He took over as the team's number one receiver after the Raiders traded Davante Adams early in the 2024 season and posted career highs in catches (87) and receiving yards (1,027). Meyers will likely be new Raiders quarterback Geno Smith's second-favorite target behind star tight end Brock Bowers. He finished as the WR23 in PPR points-per-game in a similar role last season.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Adonai Mitchell has reportedly struggled early in training camp. According to James Boyd, Mitchell dropped two passes during Saturday's practice. That now makes four dropped passes in four practices. Fantasy managers shouldn't read too much into this as it's still early in camp. Head coach Shane Steichen didn't seem bothered by it, saying players are going to have good and bad plays at times. Mitchell is going to have an uphill battle for playing time with Josh Downs, Michael Pittman Jr., and Alec Pierce at the top of the depth chart. It's also worth noting that the Colts added tight end Tyler Warren in the first-round of this year's draft. Mitchell might only be worth stashing in dynasty leagues or deep formats to begin the season.
