  • Sees 58 targets in eight Jets games

    Mitchell caught 33 of 74 targets for 453 yards and two touchdowns while rushing once for minus-4 yards in 16 games split between the Colts and Jets.

    Analysis: Mitchell played eight games with each team in 2025 but saw a major uptick in usage after being traded to the Jets, catching 24 of 58 targets for 301 yards and his first two NFL touchdowns with New York. His abhorrent 43.4 percent catch rate (56 catches on 129 targets) through two NFL seasons is a red flag, but subpar quarterback play has certainly contributed to that ugly statistic, though Mitchell has played his part with drops and mental mistakes. The 2024 second-round pick's ability to get…read more

  • Catches three of nine targets

    Mitchell caught three of nine targets for 41 yards in Sunday's 42-10 loss to the Patriots.

    Analysis: Mitchell has 55 targets in seven games with the Jets but has caught only 24 of them. He has 320 receiving yards and two touchdowns since coming over from the Colts in a midseason trade. Brady Cook has a 1:7 TD:INT in four games (three starts) since taking over as the Jets' starting quarterback, so Mitchell could be held back by poor quarterback play again in Week 18 against the Bills.

  • Three catches in Week 16 defeat

    Mitchell caught three of six targets for 43 yards in Sunday's 29-6 loss to the Saints.

    Analysis: Mitchell finished second on the team in receiving yards behind backup running back Isaiah Davis' 52. This was the sixth time in as many games with the Jets that Mitchell has drawn at least six targets. Whether the Jets start undrafted rookie Brady Cook at quarterback for a third consecutive game or turn back to one of Tyrod Taylor or Justin Fields (knee), Mitchell should continue to function as the team's top downfield target in Week 17 against the Patriots.

  • Six catches, TD on nine targets

    Mitchell caught six of nine targets for 58 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 48-20 loss to the Jaguars. He also rushed once for minus-4 yards.

    Analysis: Mitchell got the Jets on the board with a nine-yard touchdown catch in the first quarter. The twitchy wide receiver has been targeted 40 times in five appearances for the Jets. Mitchell has been inconsistent while dealing with subpar quarterback play, but his mix of athleticism and target share will give the 52nd overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft some enticing upside in Week 16 against the Saints, no matter whom the Jets tab as their starting quarterback.

  • One-catch game following breakout

    Mitchell caught one of six targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Mitchell cooled off after his breakout performance against the Falcons in the previous game, though he wasn't helped by subpar quarterback play from third-stringer Brady Cook, who replaced Tyrod Taylor (groin) in the first half. Mitchell caught eight of 12 targets for 102 yards and a touchdown against Atlanta but has caught only four of 19 targets for 76 yards across three other appearances for the Jets. His target volume has been encouraging, but the inconsistent wide receiver's floor will…read more

  • Breaks out with 102 yards, TD

    Mitchell caught eight of 12 targets for 102 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Falcons.

    Analysis: Mitchell burned Mike Hughes for a 52-yard touchdown in the third quarter, and the 23-year-old wide receiver drew a 27-yard pass interference penalty on A.J. Terrell in the first quarter, in addition to accounting for 102 of Tyrod Taylor's 172 passing yards. The Jets acquired Mitchell from the Colts along with two first-round picks for Sauce Gardner, who suffered a calf injury Sunday against the Texans.

  • Catches just two of seven targets

    Mitchell caught two of seven targets for 42 yards in Sunday's 23-10 loss to the Ravens.

    Analysis: Mitchell has caught three of 13 targets in two appearances for the Jets. The 2024 second-round pick of the Colts is getting more opportunities with his new team after being included alongside two first-round draft picks in the trade that sent Sauce Gardner to Indianapolis, but Mitchell has struggled to convert his chances into production so far. Mitchell should continue to see significant playing time in Week 13 against the Falcons, as the Jets will remain without top wideout Garrett Wilson…read more

  • One catch in Jets debut

    Mitchell secured one of six targets for 10 yards in the Jets' 27-14 loss to the Patriots on Thursday night.

    Analysis: Mitchell surprisingly led the Jets in targets in his team debut, although he and Justin Fields clearly had trouble connecting. Nevertheless, with Garrett Wilson (IR, knee) now sidelined for at least three more games, Mitchell should have plenty of opportunities to build a rapport with whoever is under center between Fields and Tyrod Taylor for New York over the next several contests.

  • Set to debut with Jets

    Mitchell is active for Thursday night's game against the Patriots.

    Analysis: Mitchell, who the Jets acquired Nov. 4 in a trade with the Colts, was inactive Week 10, but now that he's had some time to get up to speed with his new team's offense, the 2024 second-rounder will be among the pass catchers that will be tasked with helping to fill the void created by top WR Garrett Wilson (knee) having been placed on IR on Thursday. In his debut with New York, Mitchell profiles as a speculative lineup option, but down the road he could earn a key role in the Jets offense and in…read more

  • Won't make team debut Sunday

    Mitchell (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Browns.

    Analysis: Though he could have a chance to carve out a meaningful role in the second half of the season in a Jets receiving corps lacking in quality options beyond No. 1 wideout Garrett Wilson, Mitchell will get more time to get up to speed with a new playbook after he was acquired from the Colts on Tuesday as part of the deal that sent star cornerback Sauce Gardner to Indianapolis. With the Jets making both Mitchell and Allen Lazard healthy inactives for Week 10, the team will be left with Wilson, Tyler…read more

  • Coach doesn't reveal Week 10 status

    Head coach Aaron Glenn was non-committal Friday on whether Mitchell will be available for Sunday's game against the Browns, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Mitchell was acquired in a trade from the Colts on Tuesday, so he's still familiarizing himself with the Jets' playbook. Glenn referred to Mitchell as "a true X" receiver, suggesting that Mitchell's playing time will come on the outside if he suits up for his Jets debut in a receiving corps that's expected to welcome back top option Garrett Wilson (knee) against the Browns.

  • Part of Gardner trade with Jets

    The Colts traded Mitchell and two first-round picks to the Jets for CB Sauce Gardner on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Indianapolis invested a second-round pick in Mitchell in the 2024 Draft, but he wasn't able to make much of an impact, as the wide receiver totaled 32 catches on 71 targets for 464 yards and no touchdowns in 25 games through one-and-a-half seasons. In the move to New York, he'll join a receiving corps that lacks depth behind Garrett Wilson (knee), giving Mitchell a second chance to justify the draft capital used on him. If Wilson is still limited coming out of the Jets' Week 9 bye, Mitchell…read more

  • Just one reception in loss

    Mitchell had one reception for two yards on one target in Sunday's loss at Pittsburgh.

    Analysis: Mitchell played four snaps on offense. He's still behind Ashton Dulin, who played seven snaps on offense. While it's encouraging that Mitchell is getting any targets following his demotion for a much-publicized mental error in Week 4 when he erased a would-be 76-yard receiving touchdown by dropping the ball prior to crossing the goal line, he's not likely to get much more playing time without injuries in the receiving corps.

  • No receptions in Week 8 win

    Mitchell failed to haul in his lone target while playing nine of the Colts' 53 snaps on offense in Sunday's 38-14 win over the Titans.

    Analysis: Since making a much-publicized mental error in Week 4 when he erased a would-be 76-yard receiving touchdown by dropping the ball prior to crossing the goal line in the third quarter of a loss to the Rams, Mitchell has seen his playing time get cut significantly. The return of Alec Pierce from a two-game absence was a contributing factor, but Mitchell has also been bypassed for the No. 4 spot on the depth chart at receiver by Ashton Dulin, who has out-snapped Mitchell in three of the past four…read more

  • Bypassed on depth chart

    Mitchell had one reception for eight yards on his only target in Sunday's 38-24 win over the Chargers.

    Analysis: A healthy inactive for the Colts' Week 6 win over the Cardinals, Mitchell was back in the mix Sunday but handled only a light role on offense. The second-year wideout played just five snaps, and the Colts turned to Anthony Gould as their No. 3 receiver ahead of him while Josh Downs (concussion) and Ashton Dulin (chest) were both out with injuries. Gould took the field for 39 of the offense's 60 snaps.

  • Chance at redemption Week 7

    Mitchell, who was inactive for the Colts' Week 6 win over the Cardinals, will play Sunday against the Chargers, while Indianapolis will be without Josh Downs (concussion) and Ashton Dulin (chest), James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Mitchell's Week 4 performance against the Rams encapsulated both his upside and drawbacks, as he recorded 96 receiving yards but made multiple mental mistakes, including losing hold on the football just before crossing the goal line to turn a would-be touchdown into a touchback. He subsequently played just six snaps Week 5 and was inactive Week 6. Injuries have paved the way for the 2024 second-round draft pick to reclaim a role in three-receiver sets alongside Michael Pittman and Alec Pierce,…read more

  • Relegated to smaller bench role

    Mitchell did not have a reception on his lone target and played just six snaps on offense in the fourth quarter in Sunday's blowout 40-6 win over Las Vegas. He moved to the second-team unit after making several mistakes in the prior week's loss to the Rams, the Indianapolis Star reports.

    Analysis: With Alec Pierce (concussion) missing his second straight game, it was Ashton Dulin who moved into the starting three-receiver set and played on 47 of the offense's 66 snaps, resulting in two receptions for 55 yards. Mitchell was demoted due to dropping the football prior to passing the goal line to wipe out a would-be 76-yard touchdown and then committing a holding penalty to negate a 53-yard rushing touchdown in Week 4. It's not clear if Mitchell's fall down the depth chart will last just one…read more

  • Set for decreased role in Week 5

    Mitchell is expected to handle a more limited role on offense during Sunday's game against the Raiders, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Mitchell was given an opportunity at a larger role in Week 4 against the Rams due to the absence of Alec Pierce (concussion). Though the second-year wideout logged three catches (on four targets) for 96 yards, he had a 76-yard receiving touchdown wiped out after inadvertently dropping the football right before reaching the end zone. He then had a costly holding penalty in the fourth quarter that negated a Jonathan Taylor 53-yard rushing touchdown. Pierce will end up missing a second straight…read more

  • Key mistakes in loss to Rams

    Mitchell recorded three receptions on four targets for 96 yards in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Rams.

    Analysis: Mitchell saw an increased role with Alec Pierce (concussion) sidelined, but the second-year wideout's positive moments were overshadowed by two huge gaffes. Mitchell should have had a momentum-changing 76-yard touchdown reception early in the third quarter, but he held the ball out before crossing the goal line and fumbled through the back of the end zone for a touchback. He was later called for a holding penalty that nullified a 53-yard touchdown run by Jonathan Taylor. Mitchell has…read more

  • In line for increased snaps

    With Alec Pierce (concussion) ruled out for Sunday's game against the Rams, Mitchell is expected to see increased playing time on offense.

    Analysis: Mitchell has played just 23 percent of the offensive snaps through three games as the Colts' fourth WR, but with Pierce sidelined, Mitchell figures to play a prominent role in two- and three-wide sets on the outside opposite Michael Pittman with Josh Downs manning the slot. Mitchell has been targeted eight times on his limited playing time this season, catching four passes for 41 scoreless yards.

    Mitchell did not have a reception on two targets in Sunday's win at Tennessee.

    Analysis: Michell played on 24 of the offense's 57 snaps as he saw an increase in playing time, but that didn't translate into more opportunities. He drew raves in training camp, so he could still shine if an injury in the receiving corps gives him more opportunity.

    Mitchell had two receptions for 21 yards on two targets in Sunday's win over Miami.

    Analysis: Mitchell played on just 15 of the offense's 73 snaps as he was the clear No. 4 receiver. He was the star of training camp by dominating opposing corners in scrimmages, but that may not translate into significant playing time unless there are injuries elsewhere in the receiving corps.

  • One catch in preseason finale

    Mitchell brought in his only target for four yards in the Colts' 41-14 preseason win over the Bengals on Saturday afternoon.

    Analysis: Mitchell was in on the opening possession, when he recorded his four-yard grab from the afternoon's starter, Riley Leonard. The second-year wideout saw limited playing time this preseason on his way to a 4-49 line on eight targets across the trio of exhibitions, and he projects to open the season as the likely No. 4 receiver.

  • One catch in second preseason game

    Mitchell had one reception for eight yards on his lone target in Saturday's preseason loss to Green Bay. He also had a key offsides penalty which negated a 38-yard pass play to Anthony Gould.

    Analysis: Mitchell has been a star of training camp by dominating opposing corners in scrimmages, according to James Boyd of The Athletic, but his path to success during regular-season games isn't clear. Mitchell sits fourth on the depth chart at receiver and the Colts may struggle to have competent quarterback play. Mitchell also needs to avoid mistakes like the one he made Saturday and last season. Still, he could surprise if given an extended opportunity this season.

  • Targeted six times

    Mitchell caught two of six targets for 37 yards in Thursday's preseason game at Baltimore.

    Analysis: The Colts used QBs Anthony Richardson (finger) and Daniel Jones but rested most of their other projected starters, including WRs Michael Pittman, Josh Downs and Alec Pierce. That left Mitchell, Ashton Dulin and Anthony Gould with heavy workloads throughout the first half, drawing at least four targets apiece. For Mitchell, it was much the same as what we saw last season, with his ability to get open and draw targets not translating to production -- both because of shaky QB play and his own…read more

    Analysis: Mitchell had the lowest catch rate among wide receivers with at least 45 targets in his rookie season at 41.8 percent (23 catches on 55 targets). The 2024 second-round pick dropped at least four passes in the first week of training camp but turned things around by catching at least three deep passes in the Colts' last four practices.

  • Held catchless in win

    Mitchell failed to secure his lone target in Sunday's 26-23 win over the Jaguars.

    Analysis: Mitchell was a complete non-factor in Sunday's contest, unable to reel in the only pass that came his way. The rookie wideout played just 16 of the Colts' 78 offensive snaps while operating as the No. 4 wide receiver behind Michael Pittman (71), Alec Pierce (64) and Josh Downs (59). Mitchell finished the 2024 campaign with just 23 receptions for 312 yards, failing to find the end zone through 17 games.

    Analysis: Mitchell reeled in two passes Sunday, marking the first time the wideout recorded multiple passes in a contest since Week 10. The rookie wideout has had a mostly disappointing first season, recording 23 receptions on 54 targets for 312 yards while failing to find the end zone through 16 games. The 22-year-old will look to finish the year strong against the Jaguars in the Week 18 season finale.

    Analysis: The speedy rookie finished second on the team in receiving yards despite the modest total as he filled the perimeter role normally belonging to the sidelined Alec Pierce (concussion). Mitchell's 36-yard reception in the latter portion of the second quarter helped set up a Matt Gay field goal and gave Mitchell, who hadn't recorded a reception in the previous two games, his fourth catch of 20-plus yards on the campaign.

    Analysis: Sunday will mark Pierce's first absence of the season, though he did miss nearly half of last week's loss to the Broncos after being concussed. After Pierce was sidelined last week, Josh Downs and Mitchell were the biggest beneficiaries behind Michael Pittman in terms of playing time. It should be much of the same versus Tennessee, with Ashton Dulin mixing in for his blocking prowess.

    Mitchell did not have a reception on four targets in Sunday's loss at Denver. He also threw a backwards pass that was returned for a touchdown on a trick play and officially ruled a fumble.

    Analysis: For a second consecutive game, Mitchell got significant playing time on offense (37 of the offense's 76 snaps) but failed to produce. He had no receptions on two targets in a Week 13 loss to the Patriots. Mitchell had a rapport with Anthony Richardson on deep passes earlier in the season, but they've failed to rekindle the connection since the QB's return to the lineup.

    Mitchell did not have a reception on two targets in Sunday's win at New England. He had his third drop of the season.

    Analysis: It was a disappointing performance from the rookie, who moved into a larger role with Josh Downs out due to a shoulder injury. Mitchell started opposite Michael Pittman in a two-receiver set to begin the game and played 35 of the offense's 62 snaps while running 16 routes. Mitchell could get a chance to bounce back after Indy's bye in Week 14, as it's not immediately clear if Downs will be ready to return.

    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 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.

    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.

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.

  • 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.

    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 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.

  • Held catchless against Steelers

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

    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…read more

  • Moves to limited role

    Mitchell did not have a reception and had just one target in Sunday's win over Chicago.

    Analysis: 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…read more

  • Just one reception in loss

    Mitchell had one reception for 30 yards on four targets in Sunday's 16-10 loss at Green Bay.

    Analysis: 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 (ankle) returns, possibly as soon as Week 3.

  • Five targets in NFL debut

    Mitchell caught one of five targets for two yards in Sunday's 29-27 loss to the Texans.

    Analysis: The rookie wideout didn't make an impact in his NFL debut, but Mitchell had opportunities to do so and got overthrown by Anthony Richardson -- including on what would have been a wide-open touchdown in the second quarter. Mitchell finished second on the Colts in targets, but it's not clear how big a role he'll have when Josh Downs (ankle) gets healthy. Mitchell will try to establish more chemistry with his QB in Week 2 against the Packers.

  • Poised for decent volume in debut

    Mitchell could see additional targets Sunday against the Texans, as JJ Stankevitz of the Colts' official site reports that Josh Downs (ankle) has been ruled out.

    Analysis: Mitchell's likely to play primarily in the slot, but there will likely be more opportunities for both the rookie second-round draft pick and Alec Pierce alongside Michael Pittman in Downs' absence. Mitchell showed promising chemistry with quarterback Anthony Richardson as they connected for a touchdown in the preseason finale, and they will look to carry that success over into the regular season.

  • Scores TD in preseason finale

    Mitchell caught two of four targets for 18 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's 27-14 preseason win over the Bengals.

    Analysis: Mitchell had a pair of nine-yard receptions on the opening drive, the second of which resulted in a touchdown over the middle from the slot. Anthony Richardson completed only one more pass across the starters' four other drives in the game, so Richardson was unable to build on his hot start. Mitchell's ability to line up outside or in the slot should earn the rookie second-round pick plenty of playing time out of the gate, especially with Josh Downs' (ankle) status uncertain for the Sept. 8…read more

  • Catches pass from backup QB

    Mitchell caught one of two targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 34-30 preseason loss to the Broncos. He started at slot receiver with the starting offense.

    Analysis: Both of Mitchell's targets came from backup Joe Flacco on the third drive of the game, as the rookie wide receiver wasn't thrown to by Anthony Richardson on the first two possessions. Mitchell and Alec Pierce had been splitting first-team reps in training camp prior to Josh Downs' high-ankle sprain in practice Wednesday, which could open the door for both Mitchell and Pierce to play prominent roles early in the regular season alongside No. 1 receiver Michael Pittman. Mitchell will look to flash…read more

  • Gets work as slot receiver

    Mitchell worked in the slot with the first-team offense in Friday's practice with Josh Downs sidelined with a high-ankle sprain, Kevin Bowen of 92.5 FM The Fan Indianapolis reports.

    Analysis: Mitchell and Alex Pierce have been in competition for the No. 3 receiver role, but both could begin the campaign in three-receiver sets if Downs misses regular-season games. It's notable that Mitchell got work in the slot, as he had mostly been seen as a perimeter receiver and deep threat. The 2024 second-round draft pick could find an additional path to playing time as a result.

  • Listed as co-starter at No. 3 WR

    Mitchell and Alec Pierce are listed as co-starters at the third wide receiver spot on the Colts' first unofficial depth chart.

    Analysis: Mitchell and Pierce have been splitting time with the first-team offense so far in training camp, with reports suggesting Pierce has been more productive but Mitchell has had impressive moments. It's still early in the competition for playing time, but it's notable that the Colts are giving the rookie equal billing so soon rather than deferring to the more senior wideout.

  • Even split for No. 3 WR competition

    Mitchell and Alec Pierce have rotated playing time between the first- and second-team offenses through the first week of training camp, Indianapolis 93.5 The Fan reports.

    Analysis: Mitchell and Pierce are battling for the No. 3 receiver role in the offense. It's early in the contest, but it's notable that Mitchell as the rookie didn't immediately begin camp with the second unit. The Colts used the 52nd pick in the 2024 Draft on Mitchell, a combine standout who made a strong impression in spring practices.

  • Thriving at OTAs

    Coach Shane Steichen said Thursday that Mitchell is "making a lot of plays" at OTAs, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 the Fan reports.

    Analysis: It sounds like the rookie second-round pick is getting a lot of first-team reps, in part because top wide receiver Michael Pittman has been out with a minor knee injury. Wearing a No. 10 jersey to signify the number of WRs drafted before him this spring, Mitchell has taken advantage of the early opportunity by catching a number of passes from starting QB Anthony Richardson. Still, it's unclear if Mitchell will head into Week 1 as a depth/rotation receiver or if he'll immediately supplant Alec…read more
