News: 10 hours agoMitchell (finger) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

Spin: Coming back from a four-game absence, Mitchell figures to take a lot of the snaps that went to Tim Patrick last week. What's less clear is how Mitchell's return will impact Omar Cooper, who played 82 percent of snaps in last week's 26-19 loss to the Patriots, catching six of seven targets for 103 yards and a TD in the process.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Mitchell is entering his first full campaign with the Jets, having been acquired in the Sauce Gardner trade during the 2025 season. After playing sparingly during his first 25 NFL games (all with the Colts), the 2024 second-round pick handled a hefty 24.4% target share in eight games with New York last season. The usage led to two fantasy outings with 17-plus points, but he was otherwise a nonfactor (4.0 PPG). Efficiency remains an issue, as Mitchell's 44% catch rate ranks last, and his 6.0 yards per target is fourth worst among 77 receivers with 100-plus targets since he entered the league. The vertical threat will compete with rookie Omar Cooper Jr. for No. 2 duties opposite a now-healthy Garrett Wilson in the Jets' Geno Smith-led offense. Mitchell, 23, is not worth much more than late-round consideration.
