Jets' Adonai Mitchell: Week 10 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
I know Mitchell was horrible in Week 9 at Kansas City with no catches on seven targets, but he should rebound in a better matchup against Buffalo in Week 10. I'm still looking to acquire Mitchell in most leagues, even if Garrett Wilson (concussion) is back from his absence against the Chiefs. Mitchell has 16 targets in his past two games, and he torched the Raiders in Week 8 for 27.2 PPR points. The Bills are No. 10 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing receivers, and I'll still start Mitchell in three-receiver leagues in Week 10. He's worth adding for 5-10 percent of your remaining FAAB.

Jets' Adonai Mitchell: No catches in Week 9
Rotowire
Mitchell failed to reel in any of his seven targets during Sunday's 35-12 loss to the Chiefs.
Mitchell finished second on the team in targets behind fellow wideout Omar Cooper (11) with Garrett Wilson (concussion) unavailable. Mitchell has now went without a reception in two of the last three contests, but he has garnered 19 targets in the last three weeks, and he figures to remain busy in Week 10 against the Bills.

Jets' Adonai Mitchell: Sleeper WRs
Rotowire
Garrett Wilson (concussion) is out for Week 9 at Kansas City, which makes Mitchell and Cooper high-end No. 3 Fantasy receivers in all leagues. Mitchell just had a monster game in Week 8 against Las Vegas with seven catches for 142 yards and a touchdown on nine targets, and he has scored at least 12.3 PPR points in two of his past three games. Cooper had no targets against the Raiders, but he scored at least 22.3 PPR points in each of his previous two games against New England and Miami. The Chiefs are No. 2 in fewest Fantasy points allowed to opposing receivers, but Mitchell and Cooper will be heavily targeted with Wilson out. I'd lean Mitchell over Cooper if you have to decide between the two, but both are starters in three-receiver leagues.

Jets' Adonai Mitchell: Another huge opportunity?
Rotowire
Mitchell and Omar Cooper will be the Jets' top wide receivers with Garrett Wilson (concussion) unavailable for Sunday's game at Kansas City, ESPN's Rich Cimini reports.
Mitchell is coming off the best performance of his career -- a 7-141-1 receiving line on 26 routes (nine targets) in last week's 38-33 loss to Las Vegas. Cooper also ran 26 routes but finished without a target, despite topping 100 yards in back-to-back games beforehand. Both wide receivers now have a big opportunity with Wilson out of the lineup against a Kansas City defense that's missing cornerbacks Mansoor Delane (shoulder) and L'Jarius Sneed (IR - knee).

Jets' Adonai Mitchell: Sleepers (Start/Sit)
Rotowire
Garrett Wilson is in the concussion protocol, and he could be out for Week 9 at Kansas City. If that happens, then Mitchell and Cooper would be high-end No. 3 Fantasy receivers in all leagues. Mitchell just had a monster game in Week 8 against Las Vegas with seven catches for 142 yards and a touchdown on nine targets, and he has scored at least 12.3 PPR points in two of his past three games. Cooper had no targets against the Raiders, but he scored at least 22.3 PPR points in each of his previous two games against New England and Miami. The Chiefs are No. 2 in fewest Fantasy points allowed to opposing receivers, but Mitchell and Cooper would be heavily targeted if Wilson can't play. I'd lean Mitchell over Cooper if you have to decide between the two, but both are starters in three-receiver leagues if Wilson is out.

Jets' Adonai Mitchell: Week 9 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Just when it appeared like Omar Cooper Jr. was ready to establish himself as a featured option for the Jets, Mitchell comes out and dominates the Raiders in Week 8. He had seven catches for 142 yards and a touchdown on nine targets for 27.2 PPR points, and he has now scored at least 12.3 PPR points in two of four games this season. This could be messy for Fantasy managers moving forward because Garrett Wilson, Cooper and Mitchell are all talented. But someone is going to be left out on a weekly basis, and I don't expect that to be Wilson most weeks. That said, Mitchell clearly has the potential to help Fantasy managers, and he should be rostered in all leagues for at least 5 percent of your remaining FAAB.

Jets' Adonai Mitchell: Career-high 142 yards in Week 8
Rotowire
Mitchell caught seven of nine targets for 142 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 38-33 loss to the Raiders.
Mitchell didn't catch any of his three targets in the Week 7 loss to Miami after returning from a four-game absence due to a finger injury, but he bounced back with a career-best Week 8 performance. His top highlights Sunday were a 12-yard touchdown catch in the second quarter and a 47-yard reception in the fourth quarter. Garrett Wilson led the team with 12 targets while Omar Cooper went without a target after back-to-back games with more than 100 yards and a TD. The 2-6 Jets could try to get all three of their talented young wideouts involved in Week 9, when they will likely be playing catch-up against the Chiefs.

Jets' Adonai Mitchell: Zero catches on three targets in return
Rotowire
Mitchell failed to haul in any of his three targets during the Jets' 28-25 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.
Mitchell was cleared to return from a four-game absence due to a finger injury. However, the third-year pro was unable to connect with Geno Smith during Sunday's loss, and Mitchell's 26 offensive snaps were third-most among Jets wide receivers behind Garrett Wilson (50) and rookie Omar Cooper (38). Mitchell logged 15 targets through the first two games of the regular season prior to his injury, but his offensive opportunities figure to be limited while competing for targets against Wilson, Cooper and tight ends Mason Taylor and Kenyon Sadiq. The Jets will stay home for Week 8 against the Raiders, whose defense has given up the second-most passing touchdowns (16) this season.

Jets' Adonai Mitchell: Cleared for Week 7 return
Rotowire
Mitchell (finger) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
Coming back from a four-game absence, Mitchell figures to take a lot of the snaps that went to Tim Patrick last week. What's less clear is how Mitchell's return will impact Omar Cooper, who played 82 percent of snaps in last week's 26-19 loss to the Patriots, catching six of seven targets for 103 yards and a TD in the process.

Jets' Adonai Mitchell: Will play Sunday
Rotowire
Jets coach Aaron Glenn said Friday that Mitchell (finger) will play Sunday against the Dolphins, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.
After missing the Jets' last four games, Mitchell will return to the lineup for New York's divisional matchup with Miami. It's unclear at this point what Mitchell's return to the lineup will mean for rookie Omar Cooper, as the two have been healthy and available for a total of five snaps together this season. The Dolphins have been good against opposing wide receivers, mainly because other teams have just been able to run on them voluminously in positive game scripts.

Jets' Adonai Mitchell: Another limited practice
Rotowire
Mitchell (finger) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
After sitting out the Jets' last four games due to a finger injury he ultimately addressed with surgery, Mitchell has been back on the field as a limited participant for the team's first two Week 7 practice sessions. Given the length of his absence, Mitchell may need to upgrade to full participation Friday in order to avoid taking an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Dolphins. Prior to getting hurt, Mitchell had been operating as the Jets' No. 2 receiver and logged a 9-123-0 receiving line on 15 targets through the team's first two contests.

Jets' Adonai Mitchell: Misses another practice
Rotowire
Mitchell (finger) didn't practice Thursday.
Mitchell has yet to resume practicing in any capacity since Sept. 25 and is viewed as week-to-week after recently undergoing what head coach Aaron Glenn termed as a small procedure on his hand. Following Friday's practice, the wideout will likely be officially ruled out for Sunday's game against the Patriots, which will mark his fourth consecutive absence.

Jets' Adonai Mitchell: Undergoes hand procedure, still week-to-week
Rotowire
Jets head coach Aaron Glenn said Wednesday that Mitchell (finger) underwent a small procedure on his hand and remains week-to-week, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.
Glenn notes that Mitchell is able to move his fingers around well following the procedure, but the fact that the wideout is still being classified as week-to-week suggests that he's tracking toward a fourth consecutive absence Sunday at New England. Though Mitchell appears likely to sit out this weekend, the Jets could get some reinforcement to their receiver corps in the form of rookie first-round pick Omar Cooper (ankle), who had his 21-day practice window opened Wednesday and could be a candidate to return from injured reserve for Sunday's game.

Jets' Adonai Mitchell: Absent again Thursday

Mitchell (finger) wasn't present for warmups at the start of Thursday's practice, Al Iannazzone of Newsday reports.
Mitchell is headed for a second consecutive practice absence ahead of Sunday's home game against the Browns. Head coach Aaron Glenn recently described Mitchell, who missed the past two games, as week-to-week.

Jets' Adonai Mitchell: Week 5 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Mitchell (finger) has missed the past two games against Detroit and Chicago but hopefully, he'll return to action in Week 5 against Cleveland. In Week 2 against Green Bay, Mitchell had six catches for 63 yards on 12 targets, and he should have a prominent role for the Jets when healthy. He is worth stashing in all leagues for 1 percent of your remaining FAAB.

Jets' Adonai Mitchell: Ruled out for Sunday's game at Chicago
Rotowire
Mitchell (finger) is out for Sunday's game against the Bears, Zack Rosenblatt reports.
With Mitchell out last week, fellow wideout Isaiah Williams played 90 percent of snaps but drew just two targets on 39 routes. Sterling Shepard saw just one target on 22 routes as the No. 3 receiver, while WR Garrett Wilson got 13 targets and the tight ends combined for 14. Williams and Shepard could see a bit more volume this week, but the offense still figures to run through Wilson, the RBs and the TEs. As for Mitchell, his next chance to play will be Week 5 against Cleveland (Oct. 11).

Jets' Adonai Mitchell: Week-to-week with finger injury
Rotowire
Jets head coach Aaron Glenn said that Mitchell (finger) won't practice Wednesday and is considered week-to-week, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.
Mitchell sat out the Jets' 31-24 loss to the Lions in Week 3 due to the finger injury, and his absence to begin Week 4 prep in addition to Glenn classifying him as week-to-week rather than day-to-day suggests that the receiver is trending toward another absence this Sunday versus the Bears. If Mitchell ends up sitting out a second straight game, Isaiah Williams would be in store for another elevated snap count as the Jets' No. 2 wideout behind Garrett Wilson.

Jets' Adonai Mitchell: Week 4 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Mitchell (finger) didn't play in Week 3 at Detroit, but hopefully he can return in Week 4 at Chicago. He had a strong game in Week 2 against Green Bay with six catches for 63 yards on 12 targets, and he should be a factor for the Jets when healthy. Even if Mitchell is out against the Bears, you can still stash him in deeper leagues for 5 percent of your remaining FAAB.

Jets' Adonai Mitchell: Inactive for Week 3
Rotowire
Mitchell (finger) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Lions.
Mitchell was listed as questionable for Week 3 after sustaining a finger injury last week, and it turns out he is not ready to take the field Sunday. Mitchell -- who garnered 12 targets last week -- joins fellow pass catchers Omar Cooper (ankle) and Mason Taylor (thumb) on the sidelines, so Kenyon Sadiq and Isaiah Williams figure to see some extra opportunities behind top option Garrett Wilson.

Jets' Adonai Mitchell: Sleeper WRs
Rotowire
I'm expecting the Jets to be chasing points in Week 3 at Detroit, and that bodes well for Garrett Wilson and Mitchell, who will hopefully be OK despite dealing with a finger injury. Wilson is already a starter in the majority of leagues, but I like Mitchell as a high-end option in three-receiver leagues. He was heavily involved in Week 2 against Green Bay with six catches for 63 yards on 12 targets. He now has nine catches for 123 yards on 15 targets in two games, and this is a great matchup. The Lions are No. 1 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing receivers, and Chris Olave, Devaughn Vele, Keon Coleman and Josh Palmer have all scored at least 11.3 PPR points against Detroit in two games.
