Adonai Mitchell saw his snap share jump from 64% to 89% in Week 9 against Kansas City with Sterling Shepard and Tim Patrick out. He drew seven targets but failed to catch any of them, finishing with 0.0 half-PPR points in New York's 35-12 loss. Omar Cooper Jr. led the receiving corps with 11 targets and eight catches on 86% of snaps.

The increased playing time reflects the opportunity available with Garrett Wilson also sidelined by concussion, but Mitchell's failure to connect on any targets shows the volatility. He faces Buffalo in Week 10, a defence that has allowed 31.1 half-PPR points a game to receivers, the 3rd most of 32. Our models project 7.6 half-PPR points a game, and his role is scoring 4.0 half-PPR points a game below what his usage predicts over his last three games, 178th of 183 receivers.

Adonai Mitchell

Mitchell's 89% snap share in Week 9 represents a significant increase from his 64% rate over earlier games, driven by injuries to teammates at his position. He drew seven targets, a 23% target share, but caught none of them for 0.0 half-PPR points. Over his last three games he has averaged 7.9 half-PPR points on 6.3 targets and a 21% target share per game, though those games vary widely: 0.0 points in Week 7, 23.7 in Week 8 and 0.0 in Week 9.

Mitchell's air yards share of 45% ranks 9th of 189 receivers over his last three games, and his weighted opportunity rating of 0.63 ranks 17th of 189, showing significant involvement in the passing game. However, he is scoring 4.0 half-PPR points a game below what his usage predicts over that span, 178th of 183 receivers, meaning his role is worth more than his recent points. With Omar Cooper Jr. commanding 11 targets in Week 9, the workload remains split even with Wilson out. Monitor Wilson's status heading into a matchup with Buffalo, who have allowed the 3rd most half-PPR points to receivers.

What to do

• Bench Adonai Mitchell in Week 10 despite the favourable matchup with Buffalo until he shows more consistent hands.

• Monitor Garrett Wilson's concussion status, as his return would reduce Mitchell's snap share and target volume.

• Consider Mitchell's expanded role as a sign of opportunity rather than reliable production given his inefficiency.
