Mitchell (finger) didn't practice Thursday.
Mitchell sat out this past Sunday's loss to the Lions and could be trending toward a second consecutive absence Sunday against the Bears after being unable to practice Wednesday or Thursday. The 2024 second-round pick of the Colts is considered week-to-week by the Jets. He'll have one more chance to practice Friday.

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.

Jets' Adonai Mitchell: Listed questionable for Sunday
Rotowire
Mitchell (finger) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Detroit.
Mitchell was added to the injury report Thursday as a limited participant, and he was again limited at Friday's session while wearing a large wrap over his right hand, per Brian Costello of the New York Post. Mitchell isn't sure-handed even in the best of times, but he's been piling up targets and air yards anyway and will now get a favorable dome matchup with the Lions (if he's able to play). If Mitchell doesn't end up playing, the Jets may need a lot of snaps from a practice-squad veteran like Sterling Shepard or Tyler Johnson. Their WR depth wasn't great in the first place and has already been stretched thin with rookie Omar Cooper (ankle) on injured reserve for at least three more weeks.

Jets' Adonai Mitchell: Limited in Friday's practice
Rotowire
Mitchell (finger) will be limited in Friday's practice, according to the Jets' official X account.
With Mitchell now limited in back-to-back practices due to the finger issue, it's possible he receives an injury designation for the Week 3 matchup with Detroit. The Jets' final injury report Friday afternoon will reveal Mitchell's status.

Jets' Adonai Mitchell: Week 3 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Mitchell 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 he's worth adding in all leagues for at least 5 percent of your remaining FAAB. I like Mitchell as a sleeper in Week 3 at Detroit, and the Lions are No. 2 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing receivers.

Jets' Adonai Mitchell: Sees team-high 12 targets in OT loss
Rotowire
Mitchell caught six of 12 targets for 63 yards in the Jets' 20-17 overtime loss to the Packers on Sunday.
Mitchell's dozen targets easily led the team, as he was the intended receiver on 29.3 percent of Geno Smith's 41 pass attempts. The defense kept Mitchell in front of them, keeping his longest gain to 15 yards after he produced a 40-yard reception in Week 1 against the Titans. Mitchell is playing virtually every snap for the Jets, as he's cemented himself as the team's WR2 alongside Garrett Wilson. Mitchell will be an upside WR3/4 for fantasy in next Sunday's mouthwatering draw against the Lions' depleted secondary.

Jets' Adonai Mitchell: Hauls in 40-yard pass Week 1
Rotowire
Mitchell caught all three of his passes for 60 yards during the Jets' 23-10 win over the Titans on Sunday.
Mitchell connected with Geno Smith on a 40-yard pass early in the third quarter to set the Jets up in the red zone, leading to a Breece Hall four-yard touchdown run two plays later. Mitchell's catch was the longest play of the game for the Jets, and that deep-threat ability is a big reason why New York acquired him from Indianapolis last November. Mitchell's 46 snaps on offense were second-most among Jets wide receivers behind Garrett Wilson (50), though the former's extended playing time was partially due to an ankle injury that ended Omar Cooper's day early. The Jets will welcome in the Packers for Week 2 on Sept. 20.

Jets' Adonai Mitchell: Listed as starter opposite Wilson
Rotowire
Mitchell is listed as a starting wide receiver on the Jets' initial depth chart ahead of a Week 1 matchup against the Titans.
It's no surprise after Mitchell showed playmaking ability with New York following his midseason trade from the Colts last season. In eight games with the Jets, Mitchell caught 24 of 58 targets for 301 yards and two touchdowns. That 41.4 percent catch rate ranked second worst in the NFL out of 197 qualified pass catchers, but better quarterback play this season in the form of veteran pickup Geno Smith should help improve that number. Mitchell has big-play upside and is dripping with talent; he just needs to get out of his own way sometimes. He's worth a late-round flier in fantasy and makes for an intriguing best-ball selection.

Jets' Adonai Mitchell: Two quick catches in preseason win
Rotowire
Mitchell caught both of his targets for 29 yards in Friday's 17-0 preseason win over the Steelers.
Geno Smith completed seven passes to six different targets on the game's opening drive, and Mitchell is the only receiver whom Smith connected with twice. They linked up for an eight-yard gain on Smith's first pass and combined for a 21-yard pickup on the very next play. Mitchell and Smith have reportedly developed strong chemistry in training camp, and that was on display during their brief time in the game Friday. The Jets drafted WR Omar Cooper 30th overall, but all signs point to Mitchell opening the season as a starter on the outside opposite Garrett Wilson.

Jets' Adonai Mitchell: Viewed as No. 2 receiver
Rotowire
Jets receivers coach Shawn Jefferson implied Tuesday that Mitchell is seen as the team's No. 2 wideout heading into the upcoming season, Antwan V. Staley of the New York Daily News reports. "If he continues on this trajectory, he will be a really good Robin to our Batman [Garrett Wilson]," Jefferson said of Mitchell.
The Jets invested the 30th overall pick in April's draft in Omar Cooper, but he looks set to work in the No. 3 role to begin his career. Mitchell was able to make a positive impression late last season after coming over from the Colts, racking up 59 targets while Wilson was sidelined by a knee injury for the final eight games and producing a 25-312-2 line even with shoddy quarterback play. With veteran Geno Smith directing the offense in 2026, Mitchell should see an improvement in efficiency, though a healthy Wilson remains the unquestioned centerpiece of the Jets' passing game.

Jets' Adonai Mitchell: Catches three of nine targets
Rotowire
Mitchell caught three of nine targets for 41 yards in Sunday's 42-10 loss to the Patriots.
Mitchell has 55 targets in seven games with the Jets but has caught only 24 of them. He has 320 receiving yards and two touchdowns since coming over from the Colts in a midseason trade. Brady Cook has a 1:7 TD:INT in four games (three starts) since taking over as the Jets' starting quarterback, so Mitchell could be held back by poor quarterback play again in Week 18 against the Bills.

Jets' Adonai Mitchell: Week 16 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Mitchell had a solid game in Week 15 at Jacksonville with six catches for 58 yards and a touchdown on nine targets, and he scored 17.4 PPR points. We'll see who starts at quarterback for the Jets in Week 16 at New Orleans, but it was good to see Mitchell have a productive outing against the Jaguars with Brady Cook under center. Mitchell now has at least six targets in five games in a row, and he scored a touchdown in two of his past three games. He could be a No. 3 Fantasy receiver in all leagues against the Saints, especially if Tyrod Taylor (groin) is back at quarterback for the Jets.

Jets' Adonai Mitchell: One-catch game following breakout
Rotowire
Mitchell caught one of six targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Dolphins.
Mitchell cooled off after his breakout performance against the Falcons in the previous game, though he wasn't helped by subpar quarterback play from third-stringer Brady Cook, who replaced Tyrod Taylor (groin) in the first half. Mitchell caught eight of 12 targets for 102 yards and a touchdown against Atlanta but has caught only four of 19 targets for 76 yards across three other appearances for the Jets. His target volume has been encouraging, but the inconsistent wide receiver's floor will remain low in Week 15 against the Jaguars, especially if the Jets start Cook or Justin Fields (knee) under center.

Jets' Adonai Mitchell: WRs to Sit
Rotowire
I'll take the chance on Mitchell as a No. 3 Fantasy receiver in the majority of leagues in Week 14 against Miami with the hope that his production in Week 13 against Atlanta is a sign of things to come. He had eight catches for 102 yards and a touchdown on 12 targets against the Falcons, and he scored 24.2 PPR points. Mitchell now has 25 targets in three games with the Jets, but keep in mind that prior to facing Atlanta, Mitchell combined for three catches for 52 yards. The Dolphins have allowed six receivers to score at least 11.4 PPR points in their past four games, with five touchdowns over that span, and Mitchell will hopefully continue to see plenty of targets from Tyrod Taylor in this matchup.

Jets' Adonai Mitchell: Week 14 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Mitchell has been getting targets since joining the Jets via trade from the Colts, but he finally delivered on those chances in Week 13 against Atlanta. He had eight catches for 102 yards and a touchdown on 12 targets, and he scored 24.2 PPR points. He now has 25 targets in three games with the Jets, but prior to facing the Falcons, Mitchell combined for three catches for 52 yards. He's going to be inconsistent, but the Jets will likely continue to feature him, at least until Garrett Wilson (knee) returns, which could be as early as Week 15. For now, it's a good idea to stash Mitchell in all leagues for 1 percent of your remaining FAB, and we'll see how he does in Week 14 against Miami. Mitchell could emerge as a starter in three-receiver leagues to close the season.

Jets' Adonai Mitchell: Breaks out with 102 yards, TD
Rotowire
Mitchell caught eight of 12 targets for 102 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Falcons.
Mitchell burned Mike Hughes for a 52-yard touchdown in the third quarter, and the 23-year-old wide receiver drew a 27-yard pass interference penalty on A.J. Terrell in the first quarter, in addition to accounting for 102 of Tyrod Taylor's 172 passing yards. The Jets acquired Mitchell from the Colts along with two first-round picks for Sauce Gardner, who suffered a calf injury Sunday against the Texans. Indianapolis' 2024 second-round pick has drawn 25 targets in three games with the Jets while increasing his receiving yard totals from 10 yards to 42 to 102. Mitchell has shown promising ability to create separation despite drops and inconsistent quarterback play weighing down his effectiveness, making him an intriguing Week 14 fantasy option, even against a Dolphins secondary that has been stingy against wide receivers.

Jets' Adonai Mitchell: Set to debut with Jets
Rotowire
Mitchell is active for Thursday night's game against the Patriots.
Mitchell, who the Jets acquired Nov. 4 in a trade with the Colts, was inactive Week 10, but now that he's had some time to get up to speed with his new team's offense, the 2024 second-rounder will be among the pass catchers that will be tasked with helping to fill the void created by top WR Garrett Wilson (knee) having been placed on IR on Thursday. In his debut with New York, Mitchell profiles as a speculative lineup option, but down the road he could earn a key role in the Jets offense and in turn merit fantasy consideration.
