Who Should I Start? Josh Palmer or Adonai Mitchell

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Joshua Palmer made two long plays in a Week 8 win over the New Orleans Saints. Palmer was targeted four times, making two catches for 72 yards. He made one grab for 45 yards and the other for 27. While he wasn't as involved as expected, he made the most out of the two catches he was able to secure, finishing second on the team in receiving yards despite being just fourth in catches and targets. With rookie Ladd McConkey establishing himself as quarterback Justin Herbert's favorite target, Palmer is shaping up to be more of a boom-or-bust type of fantasy receiver. The Chargers offense could look different once Quentin Johnston (ankle) and D.J. Chark (groin) return to the field, but Palmer should continue to have a role.

Indianapolis Colts rookie wide receiver Adonai Mitchell caught two of his three targets for 30 yards in the team's 16-10 win over the Miami Dolphins. Mitchell finished second in receiving yards for Indy, behind Michael Pittman Jr., who finished with 63. All of Indy's pass-catchers finished with underwhelming stat lines, given Miami's run funnel defense. Despite finishing second in yards, Mitchell continues to see a very low snap share, logging just 14 total snaps with six routes run in the matchup. While he has still seen production in the limited snaps, it does make him hard to trust as a viable option moving forward. The former Longhorn is likely off the radar in Week 8 when the Colts take on the Houston Texans.
