Who Should I Start? Odell Beckham Jr or Adonai Mitchell

Monday, December 16, 7:20 PM

Former Miami Dolphins wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. cleared waivers on Monday and is now officially a free agent. Beckham and the Dolphins mutually agreed to part ways late last week, and now the 32-year-old veteran pass-catcher is free to sign with any team he pleases. He reportedly already had several potential landing spots in mind, and although Beckham probably won't have any kind of significant role with another team down the stretch in 2024, he could find a new home relatively quickly. We'd expect OBJ to try and sign with a contender to provide veteran receiving depth going into the postseason in several weeks. The former 12th overall pick by the New York Giants in 2014 out of LSU has been on the decline for several years now and had only nine catches on 18 targets for 55 yards and no touchdowns in nine games with Miami before being waived.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Adonai Mitchell has just two receptions over the last four contests, but has an opportunity to get more involved on Sunday against the Titans. With Alec Pierce set to miss the game having not cleared concussion protocol, Mitchell could work in as the primary deep threat in this matchup. That may not mean much for fantasy, however, as the 22-year-old will be on the receiving end of passes coming from quarterback Anthony Richardson who has a 47.0% completion rate, while Pierce recorded three catches or less in 11 of the 13 full games he played prior to Week 15, so Mitchell's workload should look similar. The Titans have allowed the fifth-fewest points to opposing WRs on the season, which won't make it any easier for the wideouts. View Mitchell as nothing more than a WR5/6 dart throw for fantasy on Sunday.
