Mitchell caught one of three targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 24-6 loss to the Lions.
EDGE Analysis
Mitchell continued to operate as the Colts' No. 4 wide receiver, playing just 12 of 55 offensive snaps in the contest. The rookie wideout is simply not seeing enough volume in to sustain fantasy relevance on a consistent basis. Mitchell has recorded just 20 receptions for 254 yards through his first 12 games and has failed to find the end zone so far this season. The 22-year-old Texas product will be difficult to trust for fantasy purposes heading into a Week 13 matchup against the Patriots.

Mitchell had one reception for 33 yards on two targets and also had one carry for two yards in Sunday's win at the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
He had six targets last week with Michael Pittman out with a back injury, but Mitchell saw a reduced role against the Jets. Mitchell played on just 12 of the offense's 70 snaps but has a rapport with Anthony Richardson on deep passes. He may not get many targets as the No. 3 or No. 4 receiver as long as the other options are healthy, but he's trending in the right direction.

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.
EDGE Analysis
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.

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.
EDGE Analysis
"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, and Ashton Dulin also will 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.

Mithcell caught his lone target for 22 yards in Sunday's 21-13 loss to the Vikings.
EDGE Analysis
Mitchell played just five of the Colts' 54 offensive snaps, the fewest of any Indianapolis wide receiver and his lowest snap share (10 percent) of the season. The rookie wideout isn't seeing enough playing time or opportunities to maintain relevance in redraft fantasy leagues.

Mitchell had one reception for nine yards on four targets in Sunday's loss at Houston.
EDGE Analysis
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 quarterback this week at Minnesota.

Mitchell had two receptions for 30 yards on three targets in Sunday's win over Miami.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Mitchell had two receptions for nine yards on four targets in Sunday's win at Tennessee.
EDGE Analysis
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 with his injury (Pittman played through a sore back Sunday).

Mitchell had four receptions for 38 yards on seven targets and one carry for four yards in Sunday's loss at Jacksonville.
EDGE Analysis
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. Mitchell appeared to have won the third receiver role over Alec Pierce in the preseason, but Pierce has a clear hold on the No. 3 receiver role at this point.

Mitchell failed to secure any of his three targets in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Steelers.
EDGE Analysis
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.
