News: 1 day agoMitchell (finger) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Browns, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.

Spin: Mitchell will miss his third straight game, and head coach Aaron Glenn refused to provide any clarity on the situation Friday, saying he "doesn't know" if Mitchell is dealing with a sprain or fracture, according to Rich Cimini of ESPN.com. With Mitchell out again, Isaiah Williams and Sterling Shepard will continue to soak up wideout snaps behind Garrett Wilson. Neither Williams nor Shepard is a particularly intriguing fantasy option.

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.
