Under different circumstances, the career-best performances by Braelon Allen and Adonai Mitchell could be celebrated as the Jets developing playmakers to complement Garrett Wilson
New York Jets running back Braelon Allen and wide receiver Adonai Mitchell posted career-best performances in Sunday's loss to the Las Vegas Raiders, but a series of costly mistakes on both ends of the field kept New York trapped in the loss column
We go over some useful fantasy football waiver wire pickups before we get into Week 9
The Jets had the ball five times in the first half of Sunday’s game against the Raiders and they picked up points on all five possessions. The last of those came on a Jason Sanders field goal that put them up 23-14 with nine seconds to play in the first half. The Raiders took a knee after the ensuing kickoff and they’ll get the ball coming out of the locker room in the third quarter. Sanders also had field goals on the first two Jets possessions and Geno Smith threw touchdown passes the other times that the Jets had the ball. Smith hit Isaiah Williams for 18 yards on the first score and the second came on a 12-yard strike to Adonai Mitchell. Mitchell has five catches for 78 yards and Smith is 11-of-17 for 146 yards. Braelon Allen has 18 carries for 121 yards as everything has been clicking offensively for the Jets on Sunday. The Raiders started fast and led 7-3 after a Brock Bowers touchdown catch in the first quarter. Their other score came on a 95-yard Dylan Laube kickoff return and the offense picked up just 37 yards over the rest of the half. Ashton Jeanty, who threw some shade at the Jets defense this week, has one carry for a yard and one catch for 15 yards while Mike Washington has played a bigger role in the offense
The Jets moved back into the lead on a second quarter touchdown, but their edge over the Raiders did not last long. Dylan Laube returned the ensuing kickoff for a 95-yard touchdown. It is the first kickoff return touchdown in the NFL this season and it has the Raiders up 14-13 with just over 10 minutes to play in the first half. Geno Smith hit wide receiver Isaiah Williams for an 18-yard touchdown to cap an eight-play, 70-yard drive and give the Jets their brief 13-7 lead. Smith completed three other passes for 45 yards on the drive and the one incompletion was a drop of a well-thrown deep ball. Wide receiver Adonai Mitchell was responsible for that drop, but redeemed himself with a pair of catches for 41 yards later in the drive
Mitchell caught seven of nine targets for 142 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 38-33 loss to the Raiders. Mitchell didn't catch any of his three targets in the Week 7 loss to Miami after returning from a four-game absence due to a finger injury, but he bounced back with a career-best Week 8 performance. His top highlights Sunday were a 12-yard touchdown catch in the second quarter and a 47-yard reception in the fourth quarter. Garrett Wilson led the team with 12 targets while Omar Cooper went without a target after back-to-back games with more than 100 yards and a TD. The 2-6 Jets could try to get all three of their talented young wideouts involved in Week 9, when they will likely be playing catch-up against the Chiefs
New York Jets wide receiver Adonai Mitchell can be benched in most fantasy leagues ahead of his Week 8 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders. Mitchell finished last season strong and opened the 2026 campaign on a positive note, but a four-week absence set him back significantly. He returned to action in Week 7 and caught zero of his three targets on a 44% snap share. Evidently, Mitchell had the No. 2 receiver role before his injury, but he has since fallen to No. 3 on the depth chart after being overtaken by rookie Omar Cooper Jr. Now, Cooper and Garrett Wilson are the only Jets receivers who can be started with confidence, while Mitchell is a much riskier play with a very low floor. Mitchell has a favorable matchup against the Raiders this week, but we'd prefer to fill our flex spot with someone who isn't the No. 3 receiver in a bad offense
The Indianapolis Colts are rebuilding and trading away key players, but they won't have a first-round pick in the 2027 draft due to a previous trade with the Jets
Adonai Mitchell's fantasy value is impacted by Omar Cooper Jr.'s return to the field
The Seahawks and 49ers hope to benefit in the near term from the trades they made with the Colts on Tuesday, but another team could wind up as a long-term winner. When the Colts were in a better position a little less than a year ago, then-General Manager Chris Ballard dealt Indy’s 2026 and 2027 first-round picks as well as wide receiver Adonai Mitchell to the Jets for cornerback Sauce Gardner. The Colts’ collapse after that deal led to the Jets landing tight end Kenyon Sadiq with the 16th overall pick this year and the other first-round pick looks like it will come much earlier in the 2027 draft. Moving guard Quenton Nelson to the Seahawks and defensive tackle DeForest Buckner to the 49ers will hurt the Colts’ chances of winning their next 10 games and their first-round pick would be No. 7 overall if the season ended today. Should the Colts move others like running back Jonathan Taylor ahead of the deadline, the prospects for that pick would look even better. Given the dim prospects for the Jets’ own pick — No. 10 at the moment — and their ownership of the higher pick between the Cowboys’ and Packers’ first-rounders through the Quinnen Williams trade, that’s a lot of capital for the team to use in their attempt to end what will likely continue to be the league’s longest postseason drought
Mitchell failed to haul in any of his three targets during the Jets' 28-25 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday. Mitchell was cleared to return from a four-game absence due to a finger injury. However, the third-year pro was unable to connect with Geno Smith during Sunday's loss, and Mitchell's 26 offensive snaps were third-most among Jets wide receivers behind Garrett Wilson (50) and rookie Omar Cooper (38). Mitchell logged 15 targets through the first two games of the regular season prior to his injury, but his offensive opportunities figure to be limited while competing for targets against Wilson, Cooper and tight ends Mason Taylor and Kenyon Sadiq. The Jets will stay home for Week 8 against the Raiders, whose defense has given up the second-most passing touchdowns (16) this season
New York Jets wide receiver Omar Cooper Jr. is a must-add waiver target who warrants a claim in 10-team and deeper leagues and offers immediate WR3/flex appeal against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 8, having produced 218 receiving yards and two touchdowns in two games since returning from an ankle injury. The rookie caught all five targets for 115 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-25 loss to the Miami Dolphins, highlighted by explosive gains of 52 and 60 yards. Those two receptions accounted for 112 of his 115 yards, demonstrating his big-play ability while raising some questions about the sustainability of his production on limited targets. Cooper also caught six of seven targets for 103 yards and a touchdown against the New England Patriots in Week 6. Garrett Wilson, Mason Taylor, and Adonai Mitchell remain involved in New York's passing attack, but Cooper has quickly established himself as another dangerous receiving option for Geno Smith
The Jets won’t be getting running back Breece Hall back in the lineup for Sunday’s home date against the Dolphins. Hall was listed as questionable on Friday due to the quad injury that’s kept him out for the last two games, but he wound up on the wrong side of that decision when the team released its inactive list for Week 7. Hall was limited in practice during the week and a move to full practice may be necessary for him to get back in the lineup. Braelon Allen has 41 carries for 194 yards and a touchdown as the starter in Hall’s absence. While Hall remains out, the Jets will be getting wide receiver Adonai Mitchell back in the lineup. He’s missed the last four games with a finger injury.

Adonai Mitchell's performance overshadowed by Omar Cooper Jr. in his return from injury
New York Jets wide receiver Adonai Mitchell (finger) will return against the visiting Miami Dolphins on Sunday, head coach Aaron Glenn confirmed Friday, but he is a WR4 and bench option for Week 7. He caught nine passes for 123 yards in the first two games before missing four contests, and his six-catch performance against the Green Bay Packers in Week 2 is the strongest early example of his receiving role. The immediate question is how he fits beside Garrett Wilson and Omar Cooper Jr., who caught six passes for 103 yards and a touchdown in Week 6
New York Jets quarterback Geno Smith is a QB2 and streaming consideration in deeper one-quarterback leagues because the Miami Dolphins, visiting Sunday, have converted an NFL-low 8.2% of their pressures into sacks, while Smith has faced pressure on 42.7% of his dropbacks. He completed 20 of 30 passes for 252 yards, a touchdown, and an interception against the New England Patriots in Week 6, bringing his season totals to 1,336 passing yards, seven touchdowns, and one interception with a 68.9% completion rate. Adonai Mitchell's return gives him another receiving option alongside Garrett Wilson and Omar Cooper Jr. He has thrown multiple touchdown passes only once this season and has contributed just 42 rushing yards
Adonai Mitchell may have been dealing with more than a finger injury. It appears he also has a case of amnesia — at least when it comes to the finger on his right hand that has kept him out of action for four games
Starting wide receiver Adonai Mitchell hasn’t played for the team since Week 2. He suffered a finger injury prior to the team’s game against the Detroit Lions. Mitchell is set to return to the lineup this Sunday when the Jets take on the Miami Dolphins. Running back Breece Hall and left guard Dylan Parham will […]
