New York Jets wide receiver Adonai Mitchell somehow pulled off a zero-catch performance on seven targets in Week 9 against the Kansas City Chiefs. This absolute donut comes just a week after he posted a career day with seven receptions for 142 yards and a touchdown against Las Vegas. What in the world is going on with this Jets offense?
The Jets’ Wild Wide Receiver Rollercoaster Ride
Last week, Mitchell looked like he was about to blow up, putting up those monster numbers that had everyone talking. Then, against the Chiefs, he was completely shut out. Seven targets, zero grabs. You have to wonder what happened between those two games. It’s not like the Jets were at full strength either. Garrett Wilson, another key receiver for the team, was out with an injury, which should have opened up even more opportunities for Mitchell. Yet, nothing. His disappearance from the stat sheet is a real head-scratcher when the team needed him most.
This Offense Is Just Impossible to Figure Out
Mitchell’s inconsistency is not an isolated incident for the Jets’ passing game. Omar Cooper Jr. is another prime example of this team’s bizarre output. Cooper Jr. had back-to-back 100-yard games recently, then saw zero targets last week, only to bounce back with 11 targets this week. It’s like a random number generator determines who gets the ball. For anyone trying to track this team, whether you are a coach, a fan, or especially a fantasy manager, trying to predict who will produce for this Jets pass offense is a nightmare. There’s just no rhythm, no rhyme, and no consistency to be found right now.
Looking ahead, Mitchell should probably stay on your radar, but after a performance like this, he is certainly nothing more than an upside WR5 at best. The Jets face the Bills in Week 10, and if they can’t figure out how to get their playmakers involved reliably, it is going to be a long game for that offense.
