Who Should I Start? Noah Brown or Adonai Mitchell

Wednesday, September 3, 3:50 PM

Washington Commanders wide receiver Noah Brown (knee) was listed as a limited participant on the Wednesday on the team's first injury report of the year, according to Dan Salomne of Giants.com. Brown was injured all the way back in June in minicamp, but now we know he's been tending to a knee injury. It's good news that he's practicing at all, but he might have to get in a full practice the next two days to avoid a questionable tag heading into the Week 1 regular-season opener on Sunday against the division-rival New York Giants. Now that Terry McLaurin is no longer holding out, the 29-year-old Brown won't be a realistic starting lineup option in fantasy if he's active this weekend after the addition of Deebo Samuel Sr. to the offense. He is competing primarily with Luke McCaffrey for Washington's WR3 role in 2025.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Adonai Mitchell caught his lone target for a four-yard gain in a 41-14 preseason win over the Cincinnati Bengals on Saturday. Mitchell got the start but was overshadowed by Laquon Treadwell, who popped off for 116 yards and a touchdown in the win. The second-year receiver's spot on the roster is safe but he appears to be behind Michael Pittman Jr., Josh Downs, and Alec Pierce on the depth chart. That being said, Downs is already dealing with a hamstring injury, a situation that could give Mitchell a larger role early in the season. For now, Mitchell is nothing more than a late-round dart throw in fantasy drafts.
