Adonai Mitchell's Connection with Geno Smith Standing Out

Friday, July 31, 6:59 PM

New York Jets wide receiver Adonai Mitchell has shown strong chemistry with quarterback Geno Smith early in training camp. Smith and Mitchell had a fantastic spring and have picked up right where they left off early in camp. After being traded from the Indianapolis Colts to the Jets during the 2025 season, Mitchell emerged, recording 24 receptions for 301 yards and two touchdowns in eight games with the team. The former second-round pick struggled early in his career with drops and costly mistakes, but has seen a jump in production in New York, with the team's No. 1 receiver, Garrett Wilson, out for most of the 2025 season. Despite Wilson being back and new rookies entering the fold, Mitchell has all the talent and may have found his match with Smith as his quarterback.

Dak Prescott Won't Play in Preseason

Monday, August 3, 11:26 AM

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott will sit out the preseason after head coach Brian Schottenheimer said the team does not plan to play its starters, according to Nick Harris. Prescott has not appeared in an exhibition game since 2019, so this continues Dallas' recent approach with its franchise quarterback. He sat out all three preseason contests last year before starting every regular-season game and completing 404 of 600 passes for 4,552 yards, 30 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions. The decision should leave Joe Milton III and Sam Howell with the preseason quarterback work as they compete for the backup job. Prescott does not need exhibition snaps to secure his role, and Dallas can use the games to evaluate the rest of the depth chart. His absence does not change his fantasy outlook, and he remains locked in as the Cowboys' starter for Week 1.
