Who Should I Start? Andrei Iosivas or Adonai Mitchell

New York Jets wide receiver Adonai Mitchell remains nestled into the No. 2 receiver role, and there's a case to be made that he's trending up in dynasty leagues. The Jets didn't have the flashiest start to free agency, but they arguably upgraded their quarterback position a little by acquiring Geno Smith. Any sort of quarterback change is an upgrade for Mitchell, who spent the back half of last season catching passes from Justin Fields, Tyrod Taylor, and Brady Cook. We also expect the return of Garrett Wilson (knee) to work in Mitchell's favor. While Wilson's return drops Mitchell from first to second on the depth chart -- and therefore could cost him some targets -- it will also allow him to run routes against a team's No. 2 cornerback, rather than a primary, lockdown corner. Mitchell could get open more often, allowing him to use his route-running and playmaking skills to rack up fantasy points. The Jets have made it clear they want to get him involved, too. 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. In an offense that should be pass-heavy while playing from behind, we expect Mitchell to fetch plenty of targets and carve out a fantasy-relevant role next year. There's still an intriguing window to buy low on Mitchell in dynasty leagues, especially before training camp gets underway.
