Adonai Mitchell is locked into the No. 2 receiver role for the Jets after earning a 27.4-percent Air Yards Share on 1000-plus total Air Yards and tracking 19 deep targets following his midseason trade from Indianapolis. Rich Cimini from ESPN followed up Rosenblatt’s praise by confirming that Michell has “solidified himself as the No. 2 receiver” in New York. The 23-year-old dealt with a poor 54.1-percent Catchable Target Rate last year, making the quarterback upgrade to Geno Smith a massive driver for his efficiency metrics.
Omar Cooper Jr. is a rookie who plays a similar role to Garrett Wilson, which makes Mitchell a more tactical compliment to Garrett Wilson. If Mitchell retains this meaningful role opposite Wilson, his late-round ADP presents a clear buying opportunity in both best ball and dynasty league fantasy football formats.

Great to hear that Garrett Wilson is completely healthy at OTAs after a knee injury limited him to a 43.1-percent Snap Share across seven games last season. Now operating in a reimagined offense with Geno Smith at quarterback, the 25-year-old receiver is positioned to recapture the form that produced a 29.8-percent Target Share over his first two NFL campaigns.
Wilson sits atop an unproven depth chart featuring sophomore Adonai Mitchell and rookie Omar Cooper Jr. He commands an undisputed alpha profile with high-end WR2 fantasy value and top-12 upside. Wilson is a smash pick in both best ball and dynasty league fantasy football formats.
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.

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.

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.

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.
