Adonai Mitchell

New York Jets wide receiver Adonai Mitchell made his team debut against the New England Patriots last week. Mitchell was traded to the Jets in the deal that sent defensive back Sauce Gardner to the Indianapolis Colts. Mitchell didn't have a ton of time to learn the playbook, but was immediately heavily involved in the passing attack. Mitchell was targeted six times, but was only able to haul in one of those passes for 10 yards in the loss. The result obviously isn't good, but the six targets is... [Read More]

Let me tell you a story about Thursday night. See, I have a dynasty league where injuries have been killing me. With the Jets putting Garrett Wilson on IR, I was like, "hmm, sure, I'll play Adonai Mitchell in one of my lineups." That went poorly!

While the quarterback situation in New York lacks the surprising stability that Daniel Jones has been able to provide for the Colts, the Jets are in need of secondary options in the passing game. Garrett Wilson (knee) will be returning to practice after missing the last two games, but even with his ... [Read More]

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Adonai Mitchell is a healthy scratch for the team's Week 6 contest on Sunday against the visiting Arizona Cardinals at Lucas Oil Stadium. With Alec Pierce (concussion) returning after a two-game absence, Mitchell will be the odd man out in Indy's receiving corps. The 23-year-old is firmly in head coach Shane Steichen's doghouse after two big blunders in the Week 4 loss to the Los Angeles Rams that cost the team the game. Mitchell dropped the football just ...
