WR Adonai Mitchell, NYJ (10 Viewers)

[wgoldsph]

If an offensive coach couldn’t bring out the best in AD what makes us think Aaron Glenn and Justin Fields can?

Well to be fair the offensive coach had a lot on his hands in the qb room the past few seasons. Not to mention there was already a quality wr core already starting, so development was probably less of a focus at the position.

Idk, everyone else gets fed in Indy’s offense. Really thought AD would’ve been Daniel Jones’ Darius Slayton, at the very least.

 

[Cowboysfan8]

I think two first round picks and Mitchell are still a freaking haul.

Definitely

Garrett Wilson said Adonai Mitchell had “a hell of a day at practice” today.

“He can go up and get the ball. He’s hard to tackle and then you watch him move and you’re like: Oh, he don’t move like his size. He has great body control … we’re gonna use that boy. I’m excited to see what he does because he’s got it all.”

[ratbast]

How close is the jets offense to the Indy offense in terms of scheme etc.? How quick he can assimilate? Excluding Fields and brain capabilities.

 

[BLOCKED_PUNT]

I assume the Jets will draft a QB next year. If AD has anything then I think next year he might show it. Speculative buy low in dynasty?

 

[Footballdaz]

With Jets getting rid of their 2 best Defense players .
They will be behind a ton
Mitchell should see 6-7 targets a game once up to speed.
Come playoff time he cld be getting fed the ball alot. If Wilson went down again,He'd probably be the top wr on Jets.

Think of the Jets as the Detroit tree. Steichen is Philly from a few years back in Indy, Jets OC Engstrand was a Detroit guy. So heavy doses of run, actually, and not just because of Fields but by design. Detroit's neutral rush rate is really high.

He's been in the doghouse since week 4, after his two gigantic gaffes cost the Colts the game. In week 4, Pierce was out and Adonai played 89% of snaps. Week 5, Pierce was still out, but Adonai only played 9% of snaps. When Pierce was back week 6, Adonai was a healthy scratch for the only time in his young career. And Adonai hasn't played meaningful snaps since.

I'm dropping him for a Def next week or rb lotto ticket. Fields beyond sucks. Thought maybe after the bye week and his showing against Cincy he'd maybe turned it around a bit.
Not even worth a flier. Weather getting colder,Jets will pass even less.

 

[The Frankman]

I'm hoping Tyrod Taylor is healthy next week because Fields is pulling the trigger scared. No form on his throws, bad footwork.

I honestly don’t understand how Taylor isn’t starting over Fields. Fields has a stout resume of performances that show he has no business starting in the NFL.

 

[TripItUp]

Adonai is a great buy low in dynasty right now.

The sucky unlucky part is Jets some how won,So they probably give Fields another start..

At least Taylor is some what accurate. The coaches should know this.
But Nooo,they stupidly invested in Fields,so they will keep tossing him out there.

I feel bad for Wilson owners,not..since own him nowheres.

 

[The Frankman]

Garrett Wilson looks like he re-injured his knee and with the Jets on a short week, he's probably out. Mitchell would be in line for a big role... then you remember it's Fields at QB.

And possibly getting blanketed by Christian Gonzalez next week on top of all that

I said possibly since Wilson is injured and his status for next week is up in the air, and I’m not sure who else that leaves at WR. Lazard (if he can play)? Tyler Johnson? It might not matter if the Jets are abandoning the forward pass entirely like they did today (to victory, of course).

 

[FarFromHome]

Does it matter when Fields continues to throw for less then 100 yards per game?

No, bud. i meant Gonzalez isn't there to be feared yet. I'm just a sore Jets fan. London Mossed him, baby.



LOL.

What if all 100 yards are to Adonai?

Adonai Mitchell was absolutely cooking one of the best CBs in the NFL last night

What a debut for the Jets

https://x.com/mikerenner_/status/1989384743755063603?s=61

The Jet Press
I know we’re joking here, but this is actually really impressive tape lol.

There isn’t a player on the #Jets roster who can consistently create separation like this outside of Garrett Wilson.

Keep feeding AD Mitchell over the last 7 games and hope he figures it out.

Michael Nania
Glad AD Mitchell got the snaps & targets to be fully evaluated, but disappointing he couldn't make some of those grabs (Fields also missed him or made the catch tougher multiple times). Speed & separation are clearly great, but hands obviously remain an issue to be worked on

[BLOCKED_PUNT]

I might buy low.

I feel like Wicks of 2024 and AD Mitchell belong in that spider man meme.

This is the one thing that impressed me. AD got a lot of separation against one of the best cover corners in the league in Gonzalez. It’s what you want in a potential alpha WR. Problem is between his ears and between his palms. He just turned 23 last month so he still has room for growth but he better figure it out soon. Even if the QB situation is dire, he’s not getting this amount of playing time and target share on any other team in the league right now.

 

[FantasyGuru24]

He might be another Wicks .. Supremely talented at getting open, while having bricks for hands.

 

[FarFromHome]

Yep. Add in Jets passing attack is like historically bad this year and you got a bad finish for year for him.

 

[Faust]

Despite the drops, Jets' Adonai Mitchell shows promise in debut

 

[B Maverick]

He was often open, hoping it was just the rust and adopting to a new qb causing the issues. I also thought Fields fired a couple in there where he needed a little more finesse?

I'm going to give it a game or two. If he can get it together he would be a good compliment to Wilson.

 

[JohnnyU]

Too bad stickum was banned.

 

[menobrown]

He was often open, hoping it was just the rust and adopting to a new qb causing the issues.

A few passes were not on point but this is who AD has been since he went into the league.

I'm also trying to give it more time though because I'll say the same things about him I often did with Wicks. Getting open should be the biggest battle and when you can do with his size and athletic traits you just hope the other things can fall into place.

I just think his hand n eye coordination just aren't there for when he's tracking the ball down field.

Kinda like in highschool when my Freshman baseball coach would hit these towering shots in the outfield like I've never seen until then.

And WOW was it hard adjusting from tracking a fly ball from a 15 year old hitting one compared to a grown man coach that played in the minor leagues few yrs smashing them.
I couldn't believe how high he cld hit it.
I'd be running in circles,then had trouble getting my glove on it when finally saw where it was.

If he's always had this issue with catching balls and making dumb mistakes,It won't change .

 

[Bri]

I'm simply opportunity here.

Idk why Texans haven't developed some well discussed young WRs and drafted two more. Idk why Mitchell isn't very successful. I just... opportunity.

The Jets had two WRs named Smith that looked good this summer. Sometimes they're not doing anything then ooh nice play. It wasn't all roses but I liked em and I'm not really sure why one got cut and the other hasn't done much.

Scrolling X, I saw I think two shots to Mitchell and ooh ok maybe this is the opportunity guy.

Watching on gamepass was fast and miserable. Fields is not a fun rewatch anymore. AD looked fine. He looked oddly comfortable. Just...alright I'll pickup this kid

 

[The Frankman]

Adonai Mitchell caught 1-of-6 targets for 10 yards in the Jets’ Week 11 loss to the Patriots.

Mitchell made his debut with the Jets on Thursday night after being acquired from the Colts in the deal that sent Sauce Gardner to Indy. The second-year speedster did step in to lead the Jets with six targets, but it was an otherwise forgettable day for Mitchell, who was responsible for a whopping three drops in the loss, per PFF. Mitchell let a deep pass slip through his hands in the second quarter and later let another ball slip by him in the third. Fantasy managers in need of a deep stash can add Mitchell off waivers next week, but he shouldn’t be viewed as anything more than a WR4/WR5 in Week 12 against the Ravens.

Nathan Jahnke - NFL Week 11 Recap: Immediate fantasy football takeaways from Thursday's game

New York completely reworks its wide receiver rotation: The Jets' top two wide receivers are on injured reserve, and the team recently traded for two receivers.

The Jets' top two wide receivers this season are Garrett Wilson and Josh Reynolds, but both players are on injured reserve. They are both eligible to return before the end of the season, but there is a chance neither returns this season, given the Jets’ record and the risk and reward of returning. Fourth-round rookie Arian Smith has played the second-most snaps among Jets receivers this season, but he only has six receptions for 47 yards. Veterans Tyler Johnson and Allen Lazard have both moved up and down the depth chart multiple times this season, sometimes being a starter, a healthy inactive, or anywhere in between.

New York recently traded for John Metchie III and Adonai Mitchell. Metchie started his career with the Houston Texans, was traded to the Philadelphia Eagles before the season, but played very little time because he was too far down the Eagles' depth chart. Mitchell started his career with the Indianapolis Colts, but in his only start this season, he let go of the ball before the end zone, leading to a turnover instead of a touchdown. He also had a penalty that cost the team a long touchdown. Metchie was eased into action last week, while Mitchell was inactive.

This week, Mitchell and Lazard were both active after not playing last week, giving the team six wide receivers, which has been unusual. Metchie worked his way to the top of the Jets' depth chart, playing the clear majority of the snaps in both two- and three-receiver sets. His alignment distribution was similar to Wilson's. Isaiah Williams was recently signed off the practice squad, and he became the Jets' third wide receiver in three-receiver sets, often lining up in the slot. He has surpassed Smith on the depth chart, largely taking his role. Johnson and Mitchell rotated as the Jets’ X receiver. Johnson played more in run situations, and Mitchell played more in pass situations. They are taking Reynolds' spot.

Mitchell was the Jets‘ clear top target. Historically, he's had an impressive average depth of target, and Fields has a history of throwing deep passes, but New York didn’t have a clear deep target during the first half of the season. Unfortunately, multiple of Mitchell’s targets were dropped passes. Mitchell and Metchie are both worth considering off the waiver wire, as they have the most potential in the wide receiver room. The Jets have a solid schedule for wide receivers over the rest of the season, so both are worth waiver-wire pickups in deeper leagues.

It was his first game and boy it wasn't pretty, but if you look at the posts the talent is there as he was beating one of the better corners in the league. Mitchell isn't a "right now" play as much as he is a "2-3 games down the line" play. You're hoping Mitchell gets better acclimated with the O mentally and that Justin Fields gets benched for Tyrod Taylor.

Tanner Engstrand talks about what he's seen from AD Mitchell:

"I'll just first start as AD, Adonai as the person, he's awesome. He's been phenomenal so far. Just like being around him. He's got great energy, he's got a great attitude. To me, that's where it starts. When I see him, I think he's one of us.

If you want to watch his performance last week, I got it. The drops, that happens occasionally. But what I see there is separation. I see separation and to me, that gets me fired up. That gets me excited about that player and where he's going to go. We haven't even seen it. We haven't even scratched the surface with that guy and we're excited about where he's going to go."

[mrfrood]

I am rolling with him this week. All six targets last week were first reads. He is great at getting open. I think some of those passes from Fields were not great so I do not fault AD for some of the drops. With Taylor in and Jets being down, I expect AD to put up solid numbers. Hoping for at least 10 points.

Probably not IRL, but for fantasy I see garbage points on the horizon!

 

[greenmountaingoat]

AD mitchell looks the part right up until the pass hits him in the hands. He has good size, moves well. looks like an NFL WR.

The two "drops" that I recall in the NE game last Thursday- the deep sideline throw--would have been caught by 60-70% of the starting WRs in the NFL. Not a gimmie but most starting WRs catch that. The crosser, on the other hand, would have been caught by every single starting WR in the NFL other than him. IMO. He's going to need a Clifford Franklin consult to get his career on track.

The OC is rooting for him. Jets wanted to make sure to get the picks AND him for the Sauce. This is the week to pick him up (and play if you are desperate!).

 

[Bronco Billy]

When I see the critique of Mitchell and that his hands are holding him back, my mind jumps immediately to 2 players:

Limas Sweed, who would get ridiculously open and had the looks of a future stud, but could not overcome his inability to catch even easy throws despite getting such phenominal separation, and

James Jones, who also was also able to get substantial separation - especially on long routes down the sideline - but who had hands that betrayed him, but worked so hard in his 3rd offseason catching tons of throws and working with the Juggs machine that he overcame his flaws and turned into a quality WR.

Hopefully Mitchell goes the way of Jones and not that of Sweed.
