Adonai Mitchell Building Chemistry with New Quarterback
New York Jets wide receiver Adonai Mitchell's chemistry with new Jets quarterback Geno Smith has been "buzzing since the spring," per Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic. After being acquired by the Jets from the Indianapolis Colts midway through the 2025 season, Mitchell recorded 24 catches for 301 yards and two touchdowns on 58 targets across eight games with New York. The 23-year-old has flashed high-end upside throughout his first two years in the NFL, but he's struggled with game-to-game consistency. While Smith is likely past his prime as he enters his age-36 season, the veteran signal-caller should provide Mitchell with significantly better quarterback play than what he experienced in his first half-season with the Jets. New York also enters 2026 with a clear need for pass-catching talent behind star wideout Garrett Wilson. Mitchell carries late-round sleeper appeal into 2026 for fantasy managers

Adonai Mitchell - Two quick catches in preseason win
sleeper-rotowire+9 stories · 30dSource unavailable
Mitchell caught both of his targets for 29 yards in Friday's 17-0 preseason win over the Steelers. Geno Smith completed seven passes to six different targets on the game's opening drive, and Mitchell is the only receiver whom Smith connected with twice. They linked up for an eight-yard gain on Smith's first pass and combined for a 21-yard pickup on the very next play. Mitchell and Smith have reportedly developed strong chemistry in training camp, and that was on display during their brief time in the game Friday. The Jets drafted WR Omar Cooper 30th overall, but all signs point to Mitchell opening the season as a starter on the outside opposite Garrett Wilson

Jets sign WR Junior Bergen
The Jets did some roster shuffling on Wednesday morning. They announced that they have signed wide receiver Junior Bergen. Wide receiver DT Sheffield was waived with an injury designation in a corresponding move. Bergen was a 49ers seventh-round pick in 2025. He did not make the 53-man roster out of camp and spent time on the team’s practice squad during the regular season. Sheffield signed with the Jets after going undrafted out of Rutgers this year. He will revert to the Jets’ injured reserve list if he does not get claimed. Garrett Wilson, Adonai Mitchell, Isaiah Williams, and first-round pick Omar Cooper are at the top of the Jets’ receiver depth chart

Isaiah Williams Appears to be Jets' Primary Slot Option
Isaiah Williams is reportedly competing for and potentially winning the primary slot receiver role for the New York Jets over rookie Omar Cooper Jr., showing a "stellar camp." While Cooper's skillset might translate better in-game, Williams' strong performance and versatility could lead him to valuable targets as the WR3

Jets Looking for "Sizable Jump" From Adonai Mitchell
Adonai Mitchell is expected to make a significant leap in 2026, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. While Garrett Wilson remains the Jets' top receiver, Mitchell, who previously played for the Colts, is reportedly overcoming past issues and building chemistry with Geno Smith. Mitchell is currently viewed as the Jets' WR2 and is considered a late-round sleeper pick in fantasy drafts

Adonai Mitchell: Viewed as No. 2 receiver
Jets receivers coach Shawn Jefferson implied Tuesday that Mitchell is seen as the team's No. 2 wideout heading into the upcoming season, Antwan V. Staley of the New York Daily News reports. "If he continues on this trajectory, he will be a really good Robin to our Batman [Garrett Wilson]," Jefferson said of Mitchell. Visit RotoWire.com for more analysis on this update

Adonai Mitchell - Viewed as No. 2 receiver

Jets receivers coach Shawn Jefferson implied Tuesday that Mitchell is seen as the team's No. 2 wideout heading into the upcoming season, Antwan V. Staley of the New York Daily News reports. "If he continues on this trajectory, he will be a really good Robin to our Batman [Garrett Wilson]," Jefferson said of Mitchell. The Jets invested the 30th overall pick in April's draft in Omar Cooper, but he looks set to work in the No. 3 role to begin his career. Mitchell was able to make a positive impression late last season after coming over from the Colts, racking up 59 targets while Wilson was sidelined by a knee injury for the final eight games and producing a 25-312-2 line even with shoddy quarterback play. With veteran Geno Smith directing the offense in 2026, Mitchell should see an improvement in efficiency, though a healthy Wilson remains the unquestioned centerpiece of the Jets' passing game

Adonai Mitchell Making Plays and Impressing His Coach
In his first full offseason with the New York Jets, wide receiver Adonai Mitchell was a spring standout during OTAs and minicamp, and he continues to build chemistry with quarterback Geno Smith through the early stages of training camp. Smith threw four touchdowns during Saturday's competitive portions of practice, with Mitchell on the receiving end of two of them, and head coach Aaron Glenn has taken notice. "That combination of those two guys is really starting to impress me," Glenn told reporters. "I want to see that continue to grow, because obviously [Garrett Wilson] is going to have a lot of attention. AD is going to have to win his one-on-one's which he has all the ability in the world to be able to do that." Mitchell is RotoBaller's WR69, but as the second option in an offense that could be on the rise, he has entered the late-round sleeper discussion and could find weekly viability out of the flex spot

Jets 2026 Position Breakdown: Will Garrett Wilson bounce back after injury-plagued 2025?
Heading into the 2026 season, the Jets have made a series of moves to improve their roster and overall depth, but are they ready to compete for a playoff spot? In this series, we’ll break down the depth chart for every position group. This time, we’ll go in depth at the wide receiver position … Starters: Garrett Wilson , Adonai Mitchell , Omar Cooper Jr. Backups: Isaiah Williams , Arian Smith , Tim Patrick Key additions/losses: Cooper was drafted with the 30th overall pick and Patrick was signed in free agency, while John Metchie III and Tyler Johnson departed in free agency Top performers in 2025: Wilson led the team with 395 yards and four touchdowns on 36 catches, despite only playing seven games 2025 ranking per PFF: Wilson was 36th out of 91 qualifying wide receivers in overall grade With three consecutive thousand-yard seasons to start his career, Wilson has already established himself as a top wide receiver and was deservedly rewarded with a big money deal ahead of last season. However, after a strong start saw him rack up 384 receiving yards in the first five games, Wilson only made two more appearances, leaving with a knee injury in both before being shut down for the rest of the year. The Jets will hope Wilson bounces back in 2026, and they’ve strengthened the personnel around him by bringing in Geno Smith at quarterback and two first-round pass-catchers, including tight end Kenyon Sadiq . Cooper was the other first-round pass-catcher and could start along with Wilson. The pair will have good interchangeability in terms of their ability to produce outside or in the slot. Mitchell was added at the deadline last season and showed some flashes of his potential as the Jets’ top passing game option down the stretch. In addition, Patrick was added recently, giving New York some much needed size and an experienced veteran, which was also something they lacked. Beyond the first four options, the Jets don’t have a lot of experience at wideout, so they could be at a disadvantage if there are a series of injuries. Smith and Williams are core special-teamers, but Smith had a disappointing rookie season while Williams worked his way into the rotation and ended up being voted as the team’s 2025 MVP. Longshot options to unseat either of these players include undrafted rookie Caullin Lacy and last year’s preseason standout Jamaal Pritchett . Arguably, the rotation doesn’t necessarily need to run five or six-deep because New York has tight ends and running backs who are capable of lining up in the slot -- and probably won’t have more than three receivers on the field very often anyway. Mitchell’s history is well-documented. He’s a tantalizing talent who has never reached his full potential, something which is in large part attributed to his struggles with diabetes. Apparently, when he is struggling with the symptoms, it can affect his focus, stamina, and effort level. As he was trying to move up the depth chart in Indianapolis and earn a chance to prove himself, it’s not hard to imagine how frustrating this has been for him. If the Jets can get the condition under control, the upside is practically limitless. In fact, his former wide receiver coach Reggie Wayne once called Mitchell the most talented receiver he’s ever seen. However, it’s clearly not as simple as keeping an eye on his levels, because the Colts knew all about his condition and still struggled to get the best out of him. Last season was Mitchell’s first chance at an extended run of playing time after he was traded to the Jets, and he was productive despite New York's passing game struggles, but did have some lapses. If the lightbulb can come on and Mitchell can prove he deserves to start and be a significant part of the gameplan, it will take the pressure off Cooper to deliver before he’s ready and could open up the passing game to a level not seen in recent seasons. Wilson will obviously be the number one option, but there should be a good battle between M [... truncated ...]

Bills claim receiver Quentin Skinner two days after Jets release
A meaningless game at the end of the regular season appears to have acted as a showcase spot for a now second-year receiver. The Bills claimed Quentin Skinner off waivers, the team announced, after the Jets released the 2025 undrafted pass catcher from Kansas. The Bills released receiver Deven Thompkins in a corresponding move. Skinner, 24, was a three-year starter for Kansas after walking on and put up decent numbers for the Jayhawks, posting 1,584 yards and 11 touchdowns over three seasons. He also led the Big 12 in yards per catch in 2024. He has just one official catch for 10 yards in his NFL career, a ball he caught in the last game of the season against the Bills, thrown by Brady Cook . He also caught a two-point conversion in that game. Skinner, who was released for the second time this offseason by the Jets on Monday, stands at 6-foot-5 and 195 pounds and runs a 4.52 40-yard dash. The Bills are remaking their receiver room this offseason after trading with the Bears for DJ Moore . The veteran now tops the depth chart for a position that was a weakness for Buffalo last season. Keon Coleman , who was drafted at the top of the second round in the 2024 NFL Draft, has been a disappointment to this point. It is unclear whether Coleman will even start this year, as Moore will start outside, with Khalil Shakir expected to be the slot receiver and Joshua Palmer projected to be the other outside wideout. Skinner will likely be in a fight just to make the Bills roster. The Jets roster includes star Garrett Wilson , Adonai Mitchell and rookie newcomer Omar Cooper Jr. as targets for returning quarterback Geno Smith . The Jets also have rookie Kenyon Sadiq listed as their starting tight end on their latest projected depth chart. Josh Allen and the Bills are the favorites to win the AFC East, and the Patriots are coming off a Super Bowl appearance and are expected to be formidable again
