Adonai Mitchell is a recommended waiver add as the clear number two target in his offense, with favorable matchups ahead.PositiveBreakoutSep 21, 2026
Adonai Mitchell is the top wide receiver waiver target. He has solidified his role as the team's number two receiver and has favorable upcoming matchups against the Lions and Bears. He is a vertical threat who can be acquired for a low FAAB bid.PositiveMatchupJul 13, 2026
If Geno Smith performs at his previous Seahawks level (even mid-level), the Jets' improved offensive line should provide him time to stretch the field, creating spike weeks for Mitchell as a field stretcher.PositiveRoleJul 13, 2026
If Mitchell is confirmed as the clear number two receiver and Cooper is relegated to slot-only duties, Mitchell would jump at least a round or two in rankings.PositiveValueJul 13, 2026
Mitchell is ranked WR 59 in ECR and going well outside the top 50, making him worth watching as a potential value pick if he secures the number two role.PositiveProjectionJul 13, 2026
If Mitchell is the clear number two and receives 100-105 targets from Geno Smith, he projects as a wide receiver four with potential for more if the Jets offense outperforms expectations.PositiveRoleJul 13, 2026
Mitchell has impressed this offseason and has the step on the number two job for the Jets, with rookie Cooper Heisman likely to be purely a slot option out of the gate.
