News: 15 hours agoJets head coach Aaron Glenn said that Mitchell (finger) won't practice Wednesday and is considered week-to-week, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.

Spin: Mitchell sat out the Jets' 31-24 loss to the Lions in Week 3 due to the finger injury, and his absence to begin Week 4 prep in addition to Glenn classifying him as week-to-week rather than day-to-day suggests that the receiver is trending toward another absence this Sunday versus the Bears. If Mitchell ends up sitting out a second straight game, Isaiah Williams would be in store for another elevated snap count as the Jets' No. 2 wideout behind Garrett Wilson.

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.
