Colts' Adonai Mitchell: Rise continues in Week 10 loss
Adonai Mitchell brought in all six targets for 71 yards in the Indianapolis Colts' 30-20 loss to the Bills on Sunday. He also committed a fumble, but it was recovered by Indianapolis.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.

Colts' Adonai Mitchell: Expected to see elevated snaps
With Michael Pittman (back) ruled out, Adonai Mitchell is expected to see elevated offensive snaps in Sunday's game against the Bills, Stephen Holder of ESPN.com reports."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.

Colts' Adonai Mitchell: Four receptions in loss
Adonai Mitchell had four receptions for 38 yards on seven targets and one carry for four yards in Sunday's loss at Jacksonville.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 options healthy. He appeared to have won the third receiver role over Alec Pierce in the preseason, but Pierce has a clear hold on that job at this point.

Colts' Adonai Mitchell: Held catchless against Steelers
Adonai Mitchell failed to secure any of his three targets in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Steelers.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 Indianapolis 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.

Colts' Adonai Mitchell: Moves to limited role
Adonai Mitchell did not have a reception and had just one target in Sunday's win over Chicago.With Josh Downs returning from a high ankle sprain, Mitchell moved to a reserve role. Mitchell 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 Week 2. It may take some time before Mitchell finds a prominent role in the offense again barring injuries to the top three receivers.
