EDGE Analysis

While splitting time with Danny Amendola in the Patriots' three-receiver sets, Mitchell's fantasy upside is modest these days. An injury to either Chris Hogan or Julian Edelman could, however, change that.

Mitchell (hamstring) was listed as limited at Wednesday's practice.

EDGE Analysis

The rookie wideout will probably draw a questionable designation for Sunday's game against the Steelers, but we'd expect him to suit up for the contest and continue in his role, splitting time with Danny Amendola in the Patriots' three-receiver sets.

Mitchell (hamstring) was on the field for 11 out of the Patriots' 64 snaps on offense in Sunday's win over the Bengals, ESPN's Mike Reiss reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mitchell, who continues to split time with Danny Amendola in the Patriots' three-receiver packages, did not record a catch in the game. He remains an injury away (to either Chris Hogan or Julian Edelman) from fantasy reliability.

EDGE Analysis

Mitchell continues to split time with Danny Amendola in the Patriots' three-receiver sets, which limits his fantasy reliability for the time being. An injury down the road to either Chris Hogan or Julian Edelman could change that, however.

Mitchell (hamstring) was listed as limited at practice Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Mitchell's lineup utility these days is modest as he continues to split time with Danny Amendola in the Patriots' three-receiver sets. He previously dealt with an elbow injury to start the season, so the hamstring is a new issue that makes the rookie wideout's status worth tracking as Sunday's game against the Bengals approaches.

Mitchell was on the field for 25 of the Patriots' 80 snaps on offense in Sunday's 33-13 win over the Browns, ESPN's Mike Reiss reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mitchell -- who caught two passes for seven yards Sunday -- continues to split time with Danny Amendola in the Patriots' three-receiver sets, thus placing him an injury away (to either Chris Hogan or Julian Edelman) from any sort of fantasy reliability.

Mitchell was on the field for 20 of 56 offensive snaps in Sunday's 16-0 loss to the Bills, ESPN's Mike Reiss reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mitchell was not targeted in the game and while the Patriots' passing attack is in line to be boosted by the return of top QB Tom Brady, the rookie wideout -- who has been splitting time with Danny Amendola in the Patriots' three-receiver package -- is probably still an injury away (to either Chris Hogan or Julian Edelman) from fantasy reliability.

Mitchell caught one pass (on two targets) for 27 yards in Thursday's 27-0 win over the Texans.

EDGE Analysis

Per ESPN's Mike Reiss, Mitchell was on the field for 17 of the Patriots' 64 snaps on offense Thursday, while Chris Hogan led the way on that front by recording 57 snaps and Julian Edelman was out there for 48. At this stage, Mitchell is a speculative fantasy option, but his team context is destined to change as the season rolls along, once injuries hit his fellow wideouts, and of course in Week 5, when the Patriots welcome top QB Tom Brady back to their lineup.
