Rise continues in Week 10 loss Mitchell brought in all six targets for 71 yards in the Colts' 30-20 loss to the Bills on Sunday. He also committed a fumble but it was recovered by Indianapolis.
Impact The rookie set new career highs in receptions and receiving yards while also setting the pace in catches on the day for the Colts. Mitchell's target total was also the second highest of his young career, with the fact Michael Pittman (back) was inactive undoubtedly helping the second-round pick's cause. Mitchell should continue to see a progressively larger role through the second half of the season, although his outlook is arguably brighter with the more accurate Joe Flacco under center as opposed to the more erratic Anthony Richardson.

Expected to see elevated snaps With Michael Pittman (back) ruled out, Mitchell is expected to see elevated offensive snaps in Sunday's game against the Bills, Stephen Holder of ESPN.com reports.
Impact "He's improving, so looking forward to him playing this week," coach Shane Steichen said of Mitchell. The rookie played a season-low five offensive snaps in last Sunday night's loss to the Vikings, but he's expected to bump up the depth chart alongside Josh Downs and Alec Pierce, though Ashton Dulin will also see playing time as a plus blocker in the run game. Mitchell has big-play ability but has been unable to show it yet in the NFL, having failed to reach 40 receiving yards in any game this season.

One grab in loss Mithcell caught his lone target for 22 yards in Sunday's 21-13 loss to the Vikings.
Impact Mitchell played just five of the Colts' 54 offensive snaps, the fewest of any Indianapolis wide receiver and his lowest snap share of the season. The rookie wideout isn't seeing enough playing time or opportunities to be relevant for fantasy purposes. Barring injuries to members of the Colts' receiving corps, Mitchell cannot be trusted to produce for fantasy heading into a Week 10 matchup against the Bills.

Impact Mitchell again continues to be a favorite of quarterback Anthony Richardson in the fourth receiver role as he had four targets on ten routes while playing on just 13 of the offense's 64 snaps, according to Pro Football Focus. However, the Colts may switch to Joe Flacco at quaterback this week at Minnesota.

Two receptions in win Mitchell had two receptions for 30 yards on three targets in Sunday's win over Miami.
Impact Mitchell played on just 14 of the offense's 62 snaps operating as the No. 4 receiver but was second on the team in targets. He's developed a rapport with Anthony Richardson on deep passes, but may not get many targets unless the Colts are playing from far behind.

Two receptions in win Mitchell had two receptions for nine yards on four targets in Sunday's win at Tennessee.
Impact Mitchell played on 15 of the offense's 70 snaps as he is getting limited regular work as the fourth receiver. However, his role could increase if Michael Pittman has any setback to a back injury (Pittman played through a sore back Sunday).
OCTOBER 14 • ROTOWIRE
Four receptions in loss Mitchell had four receptions for 38 yards on seven targets and one carry for four yards in Sunday's loss at Jacksonville.
Impact Mitchell surprisingly played on 19 of the offense's 79 snaps and had seven targets after having no receptions and four targets combined the prior two games with the return of Josh Downs from an ankle injury. Mitchell had another drop and mixed performance, so he may struggle to find steady work as the No. 4 receiver with the top three receivers healthy.

Held catchless against Steelers Mitchell failed to secure any of his three targets in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Steelers.
Impact Mitchell added one carry for 10 yards in the contest. The rookie wideout failed to record a catch for the second-straight week with teammate Josh Downs back in the lineup in each of the last two games. Mitchell played 20 percent of the Colts' offensive snaps in Week 4, limiting his opportunities to contribute in a meaningful way. As long as Michael Pittman, Alec Pierce and Downs are healthy, the 21-year-old Mitchell will likely continue to operate in a reserve role, limiting his fantasy utility. The Colts will visit the Jaguars in Week 5.

Moves to limited role Mitchell did not have a reception and had just one target in Sunday's win over Chicago.
Impact With Josh Downs returning from a high ankle sprain, Mitchell moved to a reserve role. He played just seven snaps on offense and fell behind Alec Pierce who played on 43 of the offense's 56 snaps. He even played less than Ashton Dulin (14 snaps). Mitchell appeared to have won the third receiver role over Pierce in the preseason, but Pierce has had several big plays the first three games while Mitchell had a crucial drop in Week 2. It may take some time before Mitchell finds a prominent role in the offense again barring injuries to the top three receivers.

Just one reception, key drop in loss Mitchell had one reception for 30 yards on four targets in Sunday's loss at Green Bay. He had a crucial easy drop on a key third-down play.
Impact Mitchell showed promise in the season opener when he was wide open for two possible touchdowns but Anthony Richardson overthrew him. Mitchell worked as the No. 3 receiver and started in the slot again, but he could have a smaller role when Josh Downs returns as soon as next week. Mitchell's high-profile drop won't help his case in the short term.
