Who Should I Start? Demarcus Robinson or Adonai Mitchell

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.
