Mitchell's first target was an end zone look that was well-defended by Pats corner Marcus Jones. His second was a deep shot late in the game where Jones again got the better of Mitchell. This time, Mitchell had the upper hand at the catch point but still couldn't come down with the ball. It's just not happening for Mitchell this year. He's struggling to earn targets and fails to do anything when the occasional look comes his way. Mitchell is not on the fantasy radar as the playoffs approach.
Colts WR Alec Pierce (foot) is active for today s game vs. the Patriots. He missed the first two practices of the week but returned to a full workout on Friday. With WRs Josh Downs (shoulder) and Ashton Dulin (ankle) out, Pierce, Michael Pittman, and Adonai Mitchell are locked in as the top three WRs against New England s 20th-ranked WR defense.
Pierce followed consecutive no-shows in practice with a full sessions Friday, drawing the questionable tag for Week 13 against the Patriots. His status is suddenly one to follow for the Colts as both Josh Downs and Ashton Dulin have been ruled out. Pierce's presence likely moves electric rookie Adonai Mitchell into the slot.
Colts WR Alec Pierce (foot) is listed as questionable for this weekend's game vs. the Patriots. He missed the first two practices of the week but returned to a full workout on Friday. That should have him on track to play on Sunday, but we'll get Indianapolis' inactives around 11:30 am ET. WRs Josh Downs (shoulder) and Ashton Dulin (ankle) are both out, which will mean a big boost in playing time for WR Adonai Mitchell.
Colts WR Alec Pierce (foot) did not practice on Wednesday. We don't have any details on his foot injury. WR Josh Downs (shoulder) is not expected to play vs. the Patriots this weekend, while WR Ashton Dulin (ankle) also missed Wednesday's practice. That leaves Michael Pittman, Adonai Mitchell, and Anthony Gould as the three healthy WRs on Indianapolis' active roster.
