Outlook: Patriots' rookie wide receiver Ja'Lynn Polk has a strong chance to break out into fantasy relevance given the state of the Patriots' wide receiver depth chart, which is one of the weakest in the league. This should allow him to compete for playing time much earlier than some of the receivers selected ahead of him in the draft who find themselves in more competitive offenses.
However, the Patriots' offense lacks high power, so red zone opportunities will likely be limited, which puts a cap on Polk's realistic ceiling. Additionally, New England's quarterback situation is uncertain, with mediocre veteran Jacoby Brissett competing with rookie Drake Maye. This will likely lead to growing pains if and when the team decides to change quarterbacks.
Despite these challenges, Polk is a low-cost option who could reasonably end up as the Patriots' WR1 in 2024. While it's unrealistic to start calling him "this year's Puka Nacua," few players taken this late in drafts have the potential to provide even a WR2 season. Therefore, it may be worth taking a chance on this young pass catcher.

Outlook: The Colts selected Texas wide receiver Adonai Mitchell, with the 52nd (Round 2) pick of the 2024 draft. Heading into the draft, there were conflicting views on Mitchell from many analysts. Some viewed him as a Round 1 talent - an athletic freak, featuring a long frame and explosive 4.34 speed. However, he lacked the polish in route running and contested catch ability that many teams were looking for. Ultimately, he has the kind of athletic profile that is worth taking a stab at in Round 2.
Mitchell will slot in as a deep threat for the Colts. He will have to compete with Alec Pierce for this role but Mitchell will certainly be featured in this offense in some capacity. A rotation with Pierce or a full-time role for Mitchell are both realistic outcomes.
Mitchell has the profile to deliver some big plays and can certainly do this with Anthony Richardson's cannon for an arm. He can be a late-round upside play in drafts but the red flags in his prospect profile should keep drafters from getting too aggressive.
