Who Should I Start? David Bell or Adonai Mitchell

Tuesday, October 14, 7:08 PM

Cleveland Browns wide receiver David Bell (hip) announced on his X account on Tuesday that he is retiring from professional football. Bell will call it quits after suffering an off-the-field hip injury that put him on the Non-Football Injury list entering the 2025 season. The 24-year-old was a third-round selection by the Browns in the 2022 NFL draft out of Purdue. He never ended up being much of an asset for the Browns' passing game in his three seasons in the NFL, and his best showing came in his rookie campaign when he caught 24 of his 35 targets for 214 yards and no touchdowns in 16 games (three starts) in 2022. Bell will finish his short NFL career with 41 receptions, 408 receiving yards, and three touchdowns (all in 2023) in 32 games played (six starts).

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.
