Adonai Mitchell, in his first game back from a finger injury last week, had only a 51.5% route share, 10% target share, and 15% first-read share. He is a sit this week and until further notice until his playing time jumps back into a full-time starting workload, which could happen this week but is impossible to know and not worth the risk in Week 8.

Although noted for his separation ability, Mitchell unfortunately looks like the No. 3 WR and potential No. 4-5 pass-game option in a suddenly healthy and crowded Chargers passing game.

Mitchell played through his finger injury, but ran a route on only 55% of the Jets' Week 7 dropbacks. The Jets have used play-action on 24% of his routes and motion at the snap on 9%. Cooper had the larger overall role against Miami and kept making plays, even though Mitchell has usually been on the field in three-WR sets. Receiver Score recommends using the roster spot elsewhere in a typical redraft league.

Mitchell's return to the lineup in Week 7 saw him receive only 18 air yards while running 51 percent of the team's routes, a concerning disconnect. The source states his limited air yards volume 'destroys the case for Adonai Mitchell as a high-upside WR3/4 option' in the Jets' constrained air yards environment.

Mitchell's return to the lineup in Week 7 saw him receive just 18 air yards while running 51 percent of the team's routes; the Jets offense is an air yards graveyard averaging 200 total air yards per game since Week 4 (only the Bucs are lower), destroying the case for Mitchell as a high-upside WR3/4 option.

Mitchell had three catchless targets in his return from a finger injury with the Jets, while Omar Cooper Jr. went for 5/115/1 on five targets. Mitchell is not done as an option this year—it was his first game back and Garrett Wilson's recent struggles show the offense will go where defenses compel—but with Cooper, Mason Taylor, and Kenyon Sadiq also in the mix, reasons to believe Mitchell gets a fantasy-worthy runout are dwindling. He's not a must-keep if you're using an injury slot during bye weeks.
