New York Jets wide receiver Adonai Mitchell posted the best game of his young career in Week 13 against the Atlanta Falcons, totaling eight receptions for 102 yards and a touchdown on 12 targets. The second-year wideout recorded a career high in targets, receptions, and yards, and scored his first career touchdown in his third game with the Jets since being acquired at this year's trade deadline. The 2024 second-rounder has flashed the ability and upside at times in his young career, but was buried behind multiple good players in Indianapolis and had some frustrating moments, which ultimately led to him being traded away. The 23-year-old broke out on Sunday against the Falcons and looks like a strong addition to a Jets offense that desperately needs playmakers alongside star wideout Garrett Wilson, who is on injured reserve with a knee injury. Mitchell will be a hot waiver add this week, and he has the upside to be an impactful player down the stretch.

New York Jets wide receiver Adonai Mitchell will look to be more in sync with quarterback Tyrod Taylor in Week 13 against a mercurial Atlanta Falcons defense. Mitchell has seen a solid target share since debuting with the Jets two weeks back, absorbing 24% of the passes thrown between Taylor and Justin Fields. However, the second-year pro connected on only three of his 13 targets (52 yards), despite consistently working open against opposing DBs. While Atlanta's back end is no walk in the park, Mitchell should continue to work in a sort of 1A/1B tandem with teammate John Metchie III, and see enough work to be a decent dart throw for fantasy as New York's offense attempts to gain traction. The Texas native has enough ability as a separator to make an impact, but fantasy managers in shallower leagues may want to give it some more time before slotting him into their lineups. Mitchell is RotoBaller's PPR WR63 ahead of Sunday's bout with the Falcons.

New York Jets wide receiver Adonai Mitchell will get another opportunity to garner an increased piece of his team's passing pie in Week 12's road outing with the Baltimore Ravens. Mitchell made his Jets' debut in last Thursday's loss to the Patriots. Despite commanding the most targets on New York's roster (six), he came away with just one catch and ten yards. Not all of that was the ex-Indianapolis Colt's fault, but he didn't help his case with a few brutal drops. With teammate Garrett Wilson (knee) out for the foreseeable future, it's the least tenured Jets' pass-catchers, Mitchell and John Metchie III, with the highest probability of emerging from the pack in his absence. For what it's worth, the latter played on more snaps in Week 11, though it's possible that fluctuates as they spend more time with the organization. Maybe Mitchell sports modest production down the stretch, but fantasy managers can avoid him outside of DFS formats for at least another week. The 23-year-old ranks as RotoBaller's PPR WR72 for Sunday's contest with the hosting Ravens.
Nov 22, 2025 11:06 AM EST
New York Jets wide receiver Adonai Mitchell is carving out a larger role with his new team, filling the void left behind by Garrett Wilson (knee), who is on injured reserve. Mitchell played 49 percent of the offensive snaps last week, which is his second-highest mark of the season. Although he caught just one pass for 10 yards, he also commanded a season-high six targets. Acquired from the Colts last month, Mitchell is enjoying a fresh start after a very disappointing year and a half in Indianapolis. Going forward, his fantasy value hinges on the Jets' quarterback play. Mitchell will continue to earn high volume as a top receiver alongside Tyler Johnson, John Metchie, and Isaiah Williams, but whether Tyrod Taylor or Justin Fields can consistently get him the football remains to be seen. He's worth stashing in deeper redraft leagues, but we need to see more consistent production before inserting him into lineups.

New York Jets wide receiver Adonai Mitchell made his team debut against the New England Patriots last week. Mitchell was traded to the Jets in the deal that sent defensive back Sauce Gardner to the Indianapolis Colts. Mitchell didn't have a ton of time to learn the playbook, but was immediately heavily involved in the passing attack. Mitchell was targeted six times, but was only able to haul in one of those passes for 10 yards in the loss. The result obviously isn't good, but the six targets is promising for Mitchell. The Jets are without Garrett Wilson (knee), so someone needs to step up for this team. The 23-year-old figures to get a decent amount of chances down the stretch for the Jets. Mitchell could be worth a look as a deep league option as he continues to build chemistry with his new quarterback.
Nov 18, 2025 7:43 PM EST
New York Jets wide receiver Adonai Mitchell will make his debut with the team in Week 11 in the Thursday night divisional game versus the New England Patriots at Gillette Stadium. The Jets acquired Mitchell at last week's trade deadline in the deal that sent star cornerback Sauce Gardner to the Indianapolis Colts. Mitchell was a healthy scratch in last week's win over the Cleveland Browns, but now he'll make his debut for Gang Green, and he could immediately have a big role in New York with both Garrett Wilson (knee) and Josh Reynolds (hip) currently on Injured Reserve. The 23-year-old former second-rounder has big-play potential, but he's still looking for his first NFL touchdown after dropping a would-be long touchdown earlier this year, right before he crossed the goal line with the Colts. Mitchell is worth a deep-league flier for his opportunity in his new digs.
Nov 13, 2025 7:31 PM EST
The New York Jets acquired wide receiver Adonai Mitchell from the Indianapolis Colts at last week's trade deadline in the big deal that sent star cornerback Sauce Gardner to Indy. Mitchell did not make his debut with the Jets in their Week 10 win over the Cleveland Browns, but he should be active on Thursday night when the team takes on the division-rival New England Patriots in primetime. The Jets' passing attack has been the worst in the NFL through 10 weeks, so expectations must be tempered, but there's no denying that the 23-year-old former second-rounder has a big opportunity coming his way. Garrett Wilson (knee) could be heading to Injured Reserve, and Josh Reynolds (hip) is already on IR. In addition to Mitchell, the Jets are looking to the likes of John Metchie III, Tyler Johnson, Arian Smith, and Isaiah Williams to step up. Mitchell is arguably the best athlete of the bunch, making him a watch candidate in fantasy leagues as he prepares to make his Jets debut.
Nov 13, 2025 1:21 PM EST
New York Jets wide receiver Adonai Mitchell should make his team debut this Thursday night when they take on the hosting New England Patriots. The former Texas Longhorn didn't suit up for the Jets in Week 10 as he'd only joined Gang Green five days before they met with the Browns. New England doesn't present as a favorable matchup. However, Mitchell should see a decent amount of playing time, particularly with teammate Garrett Wilson (knee) facing a considerable injury. As has been the case for a few weeks now, head coach Aaron Glenn has delayed naming a starter. The instability works against Mitchell, although he'll still be worth keeping an eye on, as the athleticism and opportunity are there. The 23-year-old ranks as RotoBaller's PPR WR79 for this weekend's slate of action.
Nov 12, 2025 9:04 PM EST
New York Jets wide receiver Adonai Mitchell could make his debut with the team this weekend when they take on the visiting Cleveland Browns at MetLife Stadium. The former Texas Longhorn was acquired by New York earlier this week in a trade with the Indianapolis Colts and has already drawn praise from his coaches and teammates. However, head coach Aaron Glenn was non-committal ahead of Week 10's outing on whether or not he'd suit up. The Jets' passing offense has left much to be desired in 2025, creating space for Mitchell to make an impact down the stretch. The former second-round pick was an exceptional separator in college and possesses immense athleticism. For now, fantasy managers are better off taking a wait-and-see approach, particularly against a vaunted Browns' defense. Mitchell lands as RotoBaller's PPR WR91 if he's active for Sunday's outing.
Nov 8, 2025 10:57 AM EST
New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn is non-committal on whether newly acquired wide receivers Adonai Mitchell and John Metchie III will make their debuts with the team in Week 10 on Sunday against the Cleveland Browns, according to Rich Cimini of ESPN. Glenn said that Mitchell is "a true X" receiver who can win in one-on-one matchups, while Metchie is a "master" route-runner out of the slot. Maybe Mitchell and Metchie need more time to study the offensive playbook? The Jets acquired Metchie from the Philadelphia Eagles last week and Mitchell from the Indianapolis Colts at Tuesday's trade deadline. Garrett Wilson (knee) will return this weekend from a knee injury that kept him sidelined for the last few games, but there is an opportunity for both Mitchell and Metchie to carve out roles with Josh Reynolds (hip). But in a bad Jets passing attack, both Mitchell and Metchie aren't much more than deep-league dart throws.
Nov 7, 2025 12:41 PM EST
The New York Jets acquired wide receiver Adonai Mitchell at Tuesday's trade deadline in the deal that sent All-Pro cornerback Sauce Gardner to the Indianapolis Colts. Although Mitchell, a second-rounder by the Colts last year out of Texas, is still searching for his first NFL touchdown, he will have increased opportunity for the 1-7 Jets the rest of the season. Top wideout Garrett Wilson (knee) looks primed to make his return this weekend against the Cleveland Browns, but it's possible that Mitchell could settle in as the team's WR2 when all is said and done this year. Josh Reynolds (hip) is currently on Injured Reserve, and nobody else in New York's WR corps has really stepped up as a reliable option in the passing game. Mitchell had nine catches for 152 yards on 16 targets through eight games in a crowded WR room in Indy. For the increased opportunity alone, Mitchell is worth a waiver-wire pickup in deeper fantasy leagues.
Nov 5, 2025 1:12 PM EST
As part of the deal that sent All-Pro cornerback Sauce Gardner to the Colts, the New York Jets acquired second-year wide receiver Adonai Mitchell, who now finds himself on a less crowded depth chart. While the quarterback situation in New York lacks the surprising stability that Daniel Jones has been able to provide for the Colts, the Jets are in need of secondary options in the passing game. Garrett Wilson (knee) will be returning to practice after missing the last two games, but even with his absence, the Jets do not have another wide receiver on the roster with more than 11 catches on the season. Mitchell has spent time in the dog house while in Indianapolis, but his speed and talent are undeniable, and the former 2nd-round pick is worth a stash in deeper leagues.
Nov 4, 2025 2:13 PM EST
The New York Jets are acquiring wide receiver Adonai Mitchell and two first-round picks from the Indianapolis Colts on Tuesday in exchange for cornerback Sauce Gardner, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. It's a big haul for the 1-7 Jets on trade-deadline day. Mitchell, a former second-rounder in 2024 out of Texas, was in the Colts' doghouse after dropping a potential 76-yard touchdown pass just before crossing the goal line in Week 4, and now he's headed out of town. The 23-year-old will certainly have a clearer path to playing time in New York, but it remains to be seen if he'll be able to take advantage of it and settle in as the Jets' WR2 behind Garrett Wilson (knee) in a passing game that has been one of the worst in the NFL in 2025. Mitchell caught nine of his 16 targets for 152 yards and no scores in eight games for Indy this year after posting a 23-312-0 line in 17 games in his rookie season in 2024.
Nov 4, 2025 1:08 PM EST
Ever since he dropped the football just before crossing the goal line for a costly fumble in Week 4, Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Adonai Mitchell has struggled to see the field. Across his last three games played, the 23-year-old has recorded one catch for eight yards on three targets. Mitchell played 89% of the Colts' offensive snaps in Week 4, but he's failed to crack 17% of the snaps since. Indianapolis has a trio of talented wideouts in Michael Pittman Jr., Josh Downs, and Alec Pierce, so there's not a huge need for Mitchell's services as long as the team's top three wide receivers are healthy. Mitchell has flashed upside at points in his career, but he appears to be facing an uphill battle for playing time in Indianapolis. Barring an injury to a player ahead of him on the depth chart or a trade, Mitchell can likely remain off the radar of redraft fantasy managers.
Oct 28, 2025 9:38 PM EST
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Adonai Mitchell will be active in Week 7 against the Los Angeles Chargers after he was inactive in Week 6 and played just six snaps in Week 5. The Colts effectively benched Mitchell after he made several mistakes in a Week 4 loss to the Los Angeles Rams, but they will turn back to him with both Josh Downs (concussion) and Ashton Dulin (chest) inactive for Week 7. The Chargers represent a tough matchup for Mitchell as they are allowing just the 30th-most fantasy points per game to receivers this season. It also remains to be seen just how much the Colts use Mitchell in Week 7, even with him active. He should not be in fantasy lineups against the Chargers this weekend.
Oct 17, 2025 8:37 PM EST
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Adonai Mitchell is a healthy scratch for the team's Week 6 contest on Sunday against the visiting Arizona Cardinals at Lucas Oil Stadium. With Alec Pierce (concussion) returning after a two-game absence, Mitchell will be the odd man out in Indy's receiving corps. The 23-year-old is firmly in head coach Shane Steichen's doghouse after two big blunders in the Week 4 loss to the Los Angeles Rams that cost the team the game. Mitchell dropped the football just before crossing the goal line in what would have been a long touchdown catch, and then he was called for holding on a big running play that would have gone for a touchdown. After that rough Week 4, Mitchell has fallen down the receiving depth chart for the Colts and is currently behind Michael Pittman Jr., Josh Downs, Pierce, and Ashton Dulin.
Oct 12, 2025 12:13 PM EST
When asked if Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Adonai Mitchell would be active for the Week 6 contest against the visiting Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, head coach Shane Steichen said, "We're working through that," according to Jake Arthur of Locked On Colts. Mitchell is currently in the dog house in Indy after making two crucial mistakes in the team's Week 4 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. Alec Pierce (concussion) missed a second straight game in last week's blowout win over the Las Vegas Raiders, but Mitchell took on a much smaller role, playing just six offensive snaps and being targeted just once. Ashton Dulin was the beneficiary of the offense with Mitchell essentially benched, and he caught two passes for 55 yards. Pierce has cleared the league's concussion protocol and will play against Arizona, so there's a chance Mitchell will be a healthy scratch. Regardless, Mitchell's arrow is pointed firmly downward right now.
Oct 10, 2025 1:40 PM EST
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Adonai Mitchell will be active this weekend for his team's outing against the visiting Las Vegas Raiders, but is expected to see a decreased role, per ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. Mitchell boasted decent output in Week 4 (3/96), but a costly fumble and holding penalty have him in the dog house ahead of Week 5. Fowler notes that fellow wideout Ashton Dulin will take on a larger workload with Mitchell likely to ride the pine for most of Sunday's contest. It's unfortunate timing for the University of Texas product, as he'd have seen another uptick in snaps with Alec Pierce (concussion) out for a second consecutive week. Even if Mitchell can work himself back into the good graces of the coaching staff, he'll resume WR4 duties upon Pierce's return.
Oct 5, 2025 12:26 AM EST
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Adonai Mitchell had a forgettable performance in a 27-20 Week 4 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. Mitchell finished with three catches for 96 yards but made two costly mistakes in the close loss. First, he lost control of the ball right before he crossed the goal line on a long reception that should have gone for a touchdown. Then, his holding penalty wiped out a 53-yard touchdown run from Jonathan Taylor. Mitchell is in line for an increased workload with Alec Pierce (concussion) set to miss a second-straight game, but it remains to be seen just how much the Indy coaching staff trusts him after last week. He is a risky fantasy option heading into Week 5.
Oct 4, 2025 11:19 AM EST
When asked if Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Adonai Mitchell will be active for the Week 5 contest on Sunday against the visiting Las Vegas Raiders, head coach Shane Steichen said the team is "working through that," according to Mike Chappell of FOX 59. With Alec Pierce out with a concussion in the Week 4 loss to the Los Angeles Rams, Mitchell caught three of his four targets for 96 yards. It wasn't a bad showing, but a couple of huge blunders highlighted his day -- First, a near 80-yard touchdown was for naught when he fumbled right before the goal line. After that, he had a holding call that negated a long touchdown run for the Colts. Those blunders could make him a healthy scratch this weekend, even though Pierce will miss a second straight game. If the 22-year-old is a healthy scratch, Ashton Dulin would be in line to serve as the WR3 for the Colts.
