New York Jets wide receiver Adonai Mitchell has been heavily targeted lately, but he's a risky fantasy option heading into a tough matchup against the New England Patriots in Week 17. To his credit, Mitchell has enjoyed a career resurgence since being traded to the Jets, commanding at least six targets in each of his last six games. However, he has caught just 45.6% of his targets since the trade, averaging a modest 8.6 full-PPR points per game during that span. This week's matchup is far from ideal for Mitchell, especially as he adjusts to the quarterback play of inexperienced rookie Brady Cook, who will earn another start on Sunday. The Patriots have allowed the seventh-fewest catches and ninth-fewest receiving yards to wide receivers in 2025. Mitchell has a high ceiling and low floor, which makes him a risky option as the fantasy playoffs continue. He's only worth adding off the waiver wire in leagues with at least 12 teams.

New York Jets wide receiver Adonai Mitchell will attempt to keep the good times rolling in Week 16 when his team squares off with the hosting New Orleans Saints at Caesars Superdome. Mitchell's output with the Jets has been anything but predictable. In five games since joining the team, the former second-round pick has notched three outings with two or fewer receptions and two with six or more and a touchdown, presenting as a true boom-bust option in New York's attack. With the news that teammate Garrett Wilson (knee) will miss the remainder of the campaign, Mitchell should act as, at worst, a 1B option in tandem with John Metchie III. Metchie and Mitchell complement each other nicely, though an inexperienced signal-caller in rookie Brady Cook lowers the team's overall ceiling. That said, New Orleans' defense is by no means a juggernaut, leaving the door open for fantasy viability as the Jets try to close out the campaign on the right foot. Mitchell lands as RotoBaller's PPR WR36 for his outing with the Saints.

New York Jets wide receiver Adonai Mitchell scored the second touchdown of his career in Week 15 against the Jaguars, catching six of nine targets for 58 yards. Even with undrafted rookie Brady Cook at quarterback, Mitchell earned another nine targets on Cook's 33 pass attempts. Excluding his first game with the Jets, where he played only 49.1% of the snaps, the second-year wideout ranks as the WR20 in PPR points in four games since joining the team. He's played 85.4% of the snaps, ranking 10th among all wide receivers in targets (33) and posting the highest air yards share (53.4%) in the league over that span. The quarterback situation will limit his ceiling, but Mitchell is flashing the upside that fantasy managers want to see. It'll be a challenge for Mitchell to produce on Sunday against the New Orleans Saints, who have now strung together five straight games where they've held the opposing quarterback to under 200 passing yards. He is in flex consideration for Week 16.

Most fantasy managers were probably avoiding all of the New York Jets' offensive skill players with rookie quarterback Brady Cook making his first career start in Week 15 against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. Wide receiver Adonai Mitchell still managed to produce for fantasy managers who were brave enough to start him, as he finished with six catches on nine targets for a team-high 58 yards and a touchdown in the 48-20 loss. His six receptions tied for the team high, while his nine targets and 58 receiving yards led the team. The 23-year-old also carried the football one time for a loss of four yards. It's not always going to be pretty the rest of the way for Mitchell with New York's less-than-ideal QB situation, but he proved on Sunday that he's a weekly flex consideration. In his five games with the Jets, he's been targeted 40 times and has 18 catches for 236 yards and two touchdowns.

New York Jets wide receiver Adonai Mitchell has been the next receiver to fall victim to an inconsistent offense. Mitchell was a part of the blockbuster trade where the Indianapolis Colts sent him and two future first-round picks to the Jets in exchange for cornerback Sauce Gardner. The trade took place right before the deadline, and at the time, it shook up both teams' long-term and short-term plans. Since arriving in New York, Mitchell has seen only one game with over three catches despite seeing six or more targets in every game. The Jets offense will also have rookie quarterback Brady Cook, a 2024 undrafted free agent, starting for the first time in his NFL career against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Mitchell will remain an unreliable fantasy option for fantasy managers heading into Week 15.
Dec 13, 2025 9:47 PM EST
New York Jets wide receiver Adonai Mitchell will act as a primary option in the team's passing game for at least one more week as they take on the hosting Jacksonville Jaguars this Sunday. Mitchell came crashing back down to Earth in Week 14 after a career day the week prior, hauling in just 1-of-6 looks for 24 yards. It was a disappointing outing for fantasy managers who took a chance on him. Despite being without teammate Garrett Wilson (knee) yet again in Week 15, Mitchell and the rest of the Jets' skill players will receive a significant downgrade with rookie quarterback Brady Cook getting the start. For what it's worth, Mitchell figures to garner the more valuable, downfield targets between him and John Metchie III. However, that also makes the former's opportunities more volatile and susceptible to poor outcomes. He'll land as RotoBaller's PPR WR48 in this week's ranks.
Dec 13, 2025 2:30 AM EST
New York Jets wide receiver Adonai Mitchell was a hot waiver-wire pickup last week after his eight-catch, 102-yard performance on a season-high 12 targets that included his first touchdown of the season in the Week 13 win over the Atlanta Falcons. Fantasy managers who picked him up and started him in Week 14 against the Miami Dolphins were disappointed, though, as he caught just one of six targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 34-10 loss. The 23-year-old wasn't helped by the fact that quarterback Tyrod Taylor injured his groin early in the game and never returned. Justin Fields (knee) was inactive, so third-stringer Brady Cook was forced into action and struggled mightily. Mitchell will continue to get opportunities in New York's offense with Garrett Wilson (knee) potentially done for the year, but outside of his strong Week 13 performance, Mitchell has caught only four of 19 targets for 76 yards in his other three games for the Jets. He'll be a low-floor WR4/flex in deeper fantasy leagues heading into a Week 15 matchup against the first-place Jaguars with New York's QB situation unsettled.
Dec 8, 2025 12:25 PM EST
New York Jets wide receiver Adonai Mitchell is coming off his best game as a pro in Week 13's defeat of the Falcons, but will face a more challenging test this Sunday in their division-rival Miami Dolphins. Mitchell was a force in last weekend's victory, pacing all Jets' pass-catchers in yards (102), receptions (eight), and targets (12) - all personal-bests. He also punched in the first touchdown of his 28-game career. It was a stellar performance for the second-year pro, who can hopefully build off it with some stability under center. Miami has been a favorable matchup for opposing quarterbacks, although their back-end has graded well this season, limiting fantasy wideouts to the ninth-fewest points per outing (28.11). That said, Mitchell has been a menace on out-breaking patterns, and the Dolphins haven't been as formidable on D over the past few weeks. The former Texas Longhorn is RotoBaller's PPR WR32 for Sunday's bout.
Dec 6, 2025 1:24 AM EST
New York Jets wide receiver Adonai Mitchell has seen his stock rise since being traded to the New York Jets and being provided the opportunity to line up as the Jets' No. 1 wide receiver with Garrett Wilson (knee) on the Injured Reserve. In his three games since playing with the Jets, he's seen 25 targets and hauled in 11 of them for 154 receiving yards and a touchdown. His breakout game came in Week 13, where he went for over 100 receiving yards and a score. With Tyrod Taylor under center and the passing attack looking better the last few weeks for the Jets, Mitchell will hold WR3/flex fantasy value moving forward, especially while Wilson remains sidelined.
Dec 3, 2025 9:38 AM EST
New York Jets wide receiver Adonai Mitchell had a breakout game in his team's Week 13 win over the Atlanta Falcons, recording eight catches for 102 yards and a touchdown on 12 targets. Since being acquired by the Jets in early November, Mitchell has established himself as a key piece in the team's offense. Across his last three games, the 23-year-old has earned 25 targets. Mitchell has also played at least 85% of New York's offensive snaps in each of the last two weeks. With star Jets wideout Garrett Wilson (knee) on Injured Reserve through at least Week 14, Mitchell should continue to have opportunities to contribute. Mitchell should be a priority target on the waiver wire for fantasy managers heading into his Week 14 matchup against the Miami Dolphins.
Dec 1, 2025 10:21 AM EST
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.
Nov 30, 2025 6:07 PM EST
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.
Nov 29, 2025 12:40 AM EST
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.
Nov 20, 2025 10:44 PM EST
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.
