The New York Jets upset the Atlanta Falcons 27-24 on the backs of quarterback Tyrod Taylor and wide receiver Adonai Mitchell.
The Jets aren’t entirely dead! The Jets are now 3-9 on the season after Tyrod Taylor went 19-33 for 172 passing yards, 1 passing touchdown and 1 rushing touchdown. The main beneficiary of Taylor’s game was newly acquired wide receiver Adonai Mitchell who had 8 catches, 102 receiving and 1 touchdown. The receiving touchdown came on a deep bomb of 52 yards!
The New York Jets are not a sexy fantasy team but they are not completely barren. Even with Garrett Wilson injured, the Jets still have running back Breece Hall and now Adonai Mitchell. Even rookie tight end Mason Taylor has some promise. The Jets could certainly benefit from drafting one the top quarterbacks of the 2026 draft to show some more promise in the future.

The Indianapolis Colts have acquired star cornerback Sauce Gardner from the New York Jets for two first-round picks and AD Mitchell.
What an all-in move by the Indianapolis Colts as they acquire one of the premier corners in the league. A team that caught many fans by surprise with the resurgence of Daniel Jones now bolsters the defensive side of the ball on a team with Super Bowl aspirations.
Trading for Gardner, who is under contract through 2030, gives the secondary a massive boost, which was one of the few weaknesses on this potent Colts team. Paying two first-round picks and Adonai Mitchell looks like a steep price to pay, but with 20 tackles and six pass breakups on the season, they are assets well spent. Mitchell is a throw-in piece of the deal and not fantasy relevant, but he will look to get some traction in a wide-open Jets receiving room behind Garrett Wilson.

Colts 2nd year wide receiver Adonai Mitchell is struggling with drops in training camp.
The biggest story to track in Colts training camp is the quarterback battle between Anthony Richardson and Daniel Jones. While that plays out, the pecking order in the receiver room looms large. As a 2nd year wideout trying to make a leap up, Adonai Mitchell has been struggling with drops in practices.
Ahead of Mitchell on the depth chart are Michael Pittman Jr and Josh Downs. Alec Pierce provides an excellent deep threat that ideally would be the spot where Mitchell takes over. The problem is that Mitchell hasn’t been able to gain enough momentum to even pass up Alec Pierce. Lauded for his separation skills, Mitchell’s best outlook appears to be in an offense where Daniel Jones is the starter.
While it looks like Jones is the leading candidate to be the Colts starting quarterback, Mitchell isn’t holding up his end of the bargain early in training camp. Mitchell is a dart throw in round 18 on Underdog and should be seen as a viable pick in best ball only for 2025.

The highly regarded Indianapolis Colts rookie receiver quietly posts a career best game stepping in for an injured Michael Pittman Jr.
Until week 10, Adonai Mitchell hadn’t built off of his pre NFL career momentum. He produced at 2 top college programs, shocked draft analysts with a 4.34 40-yard dash on a 6’2” 205 lb. frame and was selected in the second round of the NFL Draft.
Unfortunately his landing spot is arguably the worst in the league. A crowded wide receiver room on a run heavy team with 2 underperforming quarterbacks all have made it tough for the rookie to shine.
With Michael Pittman Jr. out in week 10, Mitchell finally earned a 93% snap share and showed out pretty well. He had a perfect 6 catches on 6 targets for 71 yards. He ended the day with 1 yard fewer than Josh Downs on 4 fewer targets. Mitchell’s mini breakout was good for a career best 13.1 ppr fantasy points, making him an intriguing stash for deep leagues and a viable hold in Dynasty.

Adonai Mitchell is one of the top fallers in PlayerProfiler’s Dynasty Deluxe lifetime value rating for the month of July.
Mitchell appeared to be a lock for a first-round selection following the NFL Combine, where he posted a nearly perfect 9.99 Relative Athletic Score with exceptional running and jumping measurements. While Mitchell didn’t necessarily excel in combine drills or interviews, no one anticipated him falling to the 20th pick of the second round. To compound matters, he landed on a team boasting a proven WR1 in Michael Pittman and a formidable running game featuring Anthony Richardson and Jonathan Taylor.
Heading into training camp, reports indicate that Mitchell’s role as Indy’s WR2 is uncertain. Josh Downs is entrenched as the primary slot receiver, and Alec Pierce, another second-round pick, remains in the team’s plans. Despite Mitchell’s substantial dynasty value, Fantasy Managers should explore trading him for a player with a clearer path to high-end production in 2024.
The Colts have drafted Texas Wide Receiver, Adonai Mitchell, with the 33rd pick in the 2024 NFL draft.
The Colts land an athletic freak in Mitchell, who ran a blistering 4.33 40-yard dash at the NFL combine to go along with tremendous vertical and broad jump measurements. He slides in the draft to the 52nd pick, much later than the mid-first round grade most experts gave him.
Mitchell showed inconsistencies on the field at Texas, and had an interesting answer to a combine interview question earlier this offseason, where he admitted to not playing full speed on every snap. He plays with an undeniable smoothness, but has red flags from an advanced-analytics perspective.
Mitchell joining the Colts will have an immediate impact on Alec Pierce. His solid draft capital indicates he will be on the field early and often, leaving Pierce an afterthought. He’ll have an uphill battle to produce meaningful fantasy production and faces strong target competition from Josh Downs and Michael Pittman. Fantasy Managers should explore other options than this physically gifted rookie to chase upside in the later rounds of redraft leagues.
