Who Should I Start? Adonai Mitchell or Jalen McMillan

Saturday, November 8, 10:57 AM

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.

When asked about wide receiver Jalen McMillan (neck), Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said his timetable for a return hasn't changed with the news that he's dealing with broken bones in his neck, in addition to a severe sprain that he suffered in the preseason. When asked if a December timetable is still in play, Bowles said, "See how it heals." The 23-year-old has shown some improvement, and the Bucs still have hope that he can return at some point this season, but for fantasy purposes, it's unlikely that McMillan is going to have any kind of impact. Tampa could sure use the help at receiver, though, with Mike Evans (collarbone) potentially missing the rest of the year, and Chris Godwin (leg) still not practicing. The injuries at wideout for the Bucs have opened the door for rookie Tez Johnson to become a weekly flex play in fantasy behind rookie first-rounder Emeka Egbuka.
