Adonai Mitchell's Fantasy Relevance Slipping Away?

Saturday, April 25, 7:40 AM

New York Jets wide receiver Adonai Mitchell is quickly losing grasp of the fantasy relevance that he possessed during the back half of the 2025 season. Mitchell was traded from the Colts to the Jets midseason, and he responded by emerging as their top receiver with Garrett Wilson sidelined. He had six-plus targets in six of his last seven games in 2025, ranking as the overall WR31 in PPR leagues during that span. Unfortunately for Mitchell and his fantasy managers, not only is Wilson healthy again, but there are plenty of other new additions that will steal targets from the 23-year-old. Most notably, the Jets drafted tight end Kenyon Sadiq and wide receiver Omar Cooper Jr. in the first round. Wilson, Sadiq, and Cooper should all operate ahead of Mitchell in the pecking order, and he'll presumably also lose targets to Mason Taylor and Breece Hall. Dynasty managers might be able to salvage a little trade compensation by selling high on Mitchell's second half last year, but his outlook going forward is relatively bleak. He's certainly not on the redraft radar for 2026.

Jaylin Noel Could Find Meaningful Role Out of Slot

Tuesday, April 28, 6:01 AM

Houston Texans wide receiver Jaylin Noel took nearly two-thirds of his snaps out of the slot as a rookie after seeing nearly a 75% rate at Iowa State, but his path to playing time in 2025 was often blocked by veteran Christian Kirk. Kirk signed a one-year deal with the 49ers in free agency, and the primary slot duties in Houston should now fall to Noel. 2023 third-round pick, and a personal favorite target of quarterback C.J. Stroud, Tank Dell is expected back after missing all of his third season with a dislocated knee and multiple torn ligaments. Despite his small frame, Dell has spent most of his time on the outside since turning professional, and while 2026 will mark his first time working in offensive coordinator Nick Caley's system, history would suggest that, despite their radically different body types, he will present more of a competition to Jayden Higgins in two-receiver sets. Noel should still see plenty of run as the third receiver on the field in 11 personnel, and at RotoBaller's WR72, it's possible he's being severely slept on after showing significant flashes in the two mid-season games missed by Kirk.
