Who Should I Start? Jermaine Burton or Adonai Mitchell

Sunday, August 10, 2:22 PM

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Jermaine Burton (undisclosed) missed practice on Sunday with an undisclosed injury and is considered day-to-day, according to ESPN's Ben Baby. He was a full participant in the team's practice on Saturday, so it's not clear when exactly this injury occurred. A third-round pick in 2024, Burton recorded just four catches in 14 games as a rookie. With Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins earning the lion's share of the wide receiver targets in Cincinnati and Andrei Iosivas entrenched as a solid WR3, it will be difficult for Burton to factor in fantasy without at least one injury to a player ahead of him on the depth chart.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Adonai Mitchell caught two of his six targets for 37 yards in a 24-16 loss to the Baltimore Ravens in the first week of preseason action. Mitchell finished tied for second on the team in targets and third in receiving yards while playing throughout the first half of the game. The second-year receiver showed flashes at times in 2024 and has drawn positive buzz from Colts brass during training camp this year. Mitchell should open the year as the No. 2 receiver across from Michael Pittman Jr., but his fantasy production could be spotty in what is not expected to be an explosive Indianapolis passing offense. The Colts' second preseason game comes next Saturday against the Green Bay Packers.
