Who Should I Start? Jalin Hyatt or Adonai Mitchell

New York Giants wide receiver Jalin Hyatt is a deep-league lottery ticket who will finally get an opportunity to prove his worth in Week 5 against the Saints. With Malik Nabers out for the year, the third-year speedster will assume the WR3 role, and his familiarity with rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart from second-team reps could lead to immediate targets. Despite having zero fantasy points this season, Hyatt's world-class speed makes him an intriguing desperation play against a vulnerable New Orleans secondary. The Saints have been susceptible to big plays, allowing the second-most passing touchdowns in the NFL (9), creating a scenario where Hyatt could finally break loose for a long score.

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.
