Adonai Mitchell ruled out for Sunday's game (finger)

The Jets wide receiver will miss Sunday's game against the Patriots with a finger injury.

By Cole Hartwell

Adonai Mitchell has been ruled out for Sunday’s game with a finger injury, according to Brian Costello of the New York Post.

What happened

Mitchell underwent a procedure to address the finger issue, head coach Aaron Glenn said via Brian Costello. The receiver remains week to week and is expected to sit out his fourth game in a row this Sunday.

Context

Mitchell has 21.3 PPR points on 15 targets, nine receptions and 123 receiving yards in two games this season. He last played in Week 2, when he caught six passes for 63 yards on 12 targets. In Week 1, he had three catches for 60 yards on three targets.

Depth chart

The Jets’ wide receiver depth chart ahead of Mitchell includes Garrett Wilson, Tim Patrick, Isaiah Williams and Sterling Shepard.

Garrett Wilson leads the group with 86.4 PPR points on 42 targets, 31 receptions, 374 receiving yards and three touchdown catches in five games. Tim Patrick has 4.6 PPR points in one game. Isaiah Williams has 33.8 PPR points in five games. Sterling Shepard has 3.3 PPR points in two games.

Timeline

On October 15, it was reported that Mitchell had undergone a procedure to address his finger issue and was expected to sit out his fourth straight game. On October 9, the Jets ruled Mitchell out early on Friday for Week 5 against the Browns. On October 8, Mitchell did not practice again on Thursday.

What’s next

The Jets play at the New England Patriots on Sunday, October 18.

🏈 Fantasy impact

Mitchell’s absence opens up targets for the Jets’ other receivers. Garrett Wilson remains the clear top option, with a Week 6 projection of 15.5 PPR points. Isaiah Williams has been the next most productive receiver, with 33.8 PPR points in five games, and could see additional looks. Sterling Shepard and Tim Patrick are unlikely to have significant fantasy value. Mitchell should only be rostered in deep dynasty formats or keeper leagues, as he has already missed multiple games and is week to week.
