The Jets entered Week 3 without WR Adonai Mitchell and TE Mason Taylor. That helped rookie TE Kenyon Sadiq see a 21.6% target share, but he made the extra work count with 7 catches, 105 yards, and 1 score. Sunday marked only the fourth instance of a rookie TE hitting 100 yards since the beginning of last season.

Jets WR Adonai Mitchell (finger) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Lions. He hurt his finger on Thursday and was a game-time decision for this one, according to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler. We’ll see if Mitchell can make it back for Week 4. His absence leaves WRs Isaiah Williams, Sterling Shepard, Malik McClain, and Jamaal Pritchett behind Garrett Willson. Woof. Wilson should dominate targets in this one. TE Kenyon Sadiq could also play a significant role.

Jets WR Adonai Mitchell (finger) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Lions. He was added to the injury report on Thursday and then limited in Friday’s practice, spotted with a bulky wrap on his right hand. Unless Mitchell is able to shed that wrap for Sunday’s game, it’s tough to imagine him drawing or catching many targets. At this point, he’s too risky to use in Week 3 fantasy lineups.

Jets WR Adonai Mitchell was added to the injury report with a finger and limited in practice on Thursday. We'll need to wait for Friday's finale injury report to find out if he's in danger of missing this weekend's game vs. the Lions. Mitchell was shaping up as a nice fantasy spot starter in that plus matchup. Stay tuned.

Jets WR Garrett Wilson caught 5 passes for 57 yards and 1 TD in Sunday’s loss to Green Bay. That’s a solid fantasy line, but his underlying usage wasn’t quite as encouraging as the box score suggests.

The Jets placed WR Omar Cooper on IR with his ankle injury. The rookie is out for the next 4 games and can be dropped from redraft rosters without an IR spot. Isaiah Williams projects to take over Cooper's slot role but won't garner many targets. That'll leave extra volume for WR Garrett Wilson, WR Adonai Mitchell, and perhaps TE Kenyon Sadiq.

Jets WR Omar Cooper (ankle) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Packers. That’ll leave Isaiah Williams as the primary slot receiver and likely push more targets to WRs Garrett Wilson and Adonai Mitchell.

Jets WR Omar Cooper is considered "week to week" with the ankle sprain he suffered in the opener, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The "hope" is that Cooper is able to return within 4 weeks, Rapoport adds.

It was a tough summer for Jets WR Omar Cooper. He was largely quiet in camp and preseason action and even fell behind WR Isaiah Williams on the depth chart at one point. But The Athletic's Zack Rosenblatt writes that Cooper "came on strong at the end of camp."

We covered earlier this week how Jets rookie Omar Cooper Jr. might be in danger of Isaiah Williams passing him on the depth chart. Friday's preseason opener turned that into reality. Cooper played zero snaps with the starting offense, while Williams played seven of the 11 and ran five routes. That put him narrowly behind top-two WRs Garrett Wilson and Adonai Mitchell. They each played all 11 snaps and ran seven routes.

Jets WR Omar Cooper has had a quiet start to training camp by most accounts. ESPN's Rich Cimini even suggested on Tuesday that WR Isaiah Williams could pass Cooper on the depth chart. WR coach Shawn Jefferson said Cooper has experienced "little pitfalls ... That's part of being a rookie."

Jets HC Aaron Glenn told reporters Thursday morning that the team got "pretty good news" on rookie TE Kenyon Sadiq following this week's setback in his recovery from hernia surgery.

The Athletic's Zack Rosenblatt calls WR Adonai Mitchell one of the Jets' "biggest stars" so far this offseason. Mitchell has drawn praise from other media members, as well as teammates and coaches.

Jets QB Brady Cook will start this weekend's game vs. the Saints, HC Aaron Glenn said Wednesday. We assume this means QBs Tyrod Taylor and Justin Fields' injuries will keep them out again -- because there's no reason for the Jets to willingly go back to Cook. He mustered just 176 yards on 5.3 yards per attempt in the Week 15 loss to the Jaguars. RB Breece Hall is the only Jet to crack fantasy-starter territory in our Week 16 rankings.

Jets QB Brady Cook will start this weekend's game vs. the Jaguars, HC Aaron Glenn announced Friday. QBs Tyrod Taylor (groin) and Justin Fields (knee) will be out with their injuries. Cook, an undrafted rookie out of Missouri, will be making his first career start in this one. He completed just 47% of his passes at 5.4 yards per attempt in relief of Taylor last week. The Jets' passing game is a total avoid in fantasy lineups if you can help it. And Jacksonville's DST is a strong Week 15 start.

Jets QBs Tyrod Taylor (groin) and Justin Fields (knee) won't practice on Wednesday, HC Aaron Glenn said. They'll be evaluated later this week. QB Brady Cook will get the first-team reps on Wednesday and is the favorite to start this weekend's game vs. the Jaguars. Cook was abysmal last week, completing 47% of his passes at 5.4 yards per attempt against a beatable Dolphins pass defense. RB Breece Hall is the only viable fantasy starter in this offense -- and he's not even a comfortable play with Cook.

Jets WR Garrett Wilson is expected to miss "at least" 3-4 weeks with his latest knee injury, according to ESPN's Rich Cimini. Wilson does not need surgery, but we can't imagine the 2-7 Jets rushing him back. The timeline puts Wilson out through at least Week 13. He's worth stashing in you have the bench space, but we wouldn't consider Wilson a must-hold in shallower fantasy leagues. The Jets are left with a wasteland of WRs Tyler Johnson, Isaiah Williams, Arian Smith, Allen Lazard, John Metchie, and Adonai Mitchell. Avoid the group in fantasy. TE Mason Taylor theoretically finds strong target opportunity, but he'll remain tough to trust as long as Justin Fields is under center.

Jets WR Garrett Wilson (knee) is active for today’s game against the Browns. He was listed as questionable but practiced all week, including a full workout on Friday. Wilson should be ready for a full slate of snaps today. He sits 15th in the Week 10 WR rankings. WRs Allen Lazard and Adonai Mitchell are healthy scratches.

In addition to getting first-round picks from the Colts each of the next two years in the Sauce Gardner trade, the Jets are also acquiring WR Adonai Mitchell.
