Who Should I Start? Josh Reynolds or Adonai Mitchell

New York Jets wide receiver Josh Reynolds (hip) was placed on Injured Reserve after suffering a hip injury in the team's Week 8 thriller against the Cincinnati Bengals. Reynolds is eligible to return in Week 13 against the Falcons. The 30-year-old was having a quiet season in a bad Jets passing attack, catching 11 of 21 targets for 101 yards in five games. With star wideout Garrett Wilson (knee) also injured, the Jets will be relying on a wide receiver crew consisting of two newly acquired wideouts in John Metchie III and Adonai Mitchell, along with Arian Smith and Tyler Johnson.

New York Jets wide receiver Adonai Mitchell will retain decent flex value for Sunday's meeting with a formidable New England Patriots' defense at MetLife Stadium. The Texas native has primarily operated as the team's WR1 since coming over via trade with the Indianapolis Colts. In six appearances, Mitchell has racked up at least six looks in each, although his output has been anything but consistent. Still, even with rookie signal-caller Brady Cook under center, the wideout is worthy of a high-upside flex, despite a challenging outing against the Pats at home. Cook's inexperience undoubtedly caps Mitchell's ceiling. However, the latter has been the most likely Jets' skill player to hit pay dirt, picking up six red zone opportunities during his tenure - the most of any New York WR. While Mitchell's floor is low, his athleticism and big-play ability make him an enticing low-end asset in the fantasy playoffs. He'll rank as RotoBaller's PPR WR46 for Week 17's clash.
