Jets' Adonai Mitchell: Ruled out for Sunday's game
Rotowire
Mitchell (finger) has been ruled out for Sunday's game, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.
Mitchell will miss a third straight game and hasn't practiced at all the past two weeks. Tim Patrick and Isaiah Williams took most of the WR snaps alongside Garrett Wilson last week, but rookie Omar Cooper (IR - ankle) may soon throw his hat into the ring.

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: Officially ruled out for Week 5
Rotowire
Mitchell (finger) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Browns, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.
Mitchell will miss his third straight game, and coach Aaron Glenn refused to provide any clarity on the situation Friday, saying he "doesn't know" if Mitchell is dealing with a sprain or fracture, according to Rich Cimini of ESPN.com. With Mitchell out again, Isaiah Williams and Sterling Shepard will continue to soak up wideout snaps behind Garrett Wilson. Neither Williams nor Shepard is a particularly intriguing fantasy option.

Jets' Adonai Mitchell: Absent again Thursday
Rotowire
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: Remains week-to-week
Rotowire
Head coach Aaron Glenn said Wednesday that Mitchell (finger) remains week-to-week, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.
Mitchell has missed the last two games and looks on his way to missing a third straight contest. Isaiah Williams and Sterling Shepard have been rounding out three-wide sets behind Garrett Wilson, but the Jets could also get Tim Patrick (groin) back from injured reserve this week after his 21-day practice window was opened Wednesday.

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.

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.

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: 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.
