Mitchell Out: Garrett Wilson Could See More Work, Allen and Williams Dip
With Adonai Mitchell out for the New York Jets, Garrett Wilson has drawn more targets in games missed by Mitchell, while Braelon Allen and Isaiah Williams have seen smaller shares. Note that most of those missed games came with Justin Fields or Tyrod Taylor at quarterback rather than Geno Smith, who started the Jets' latest game.

Grade Breakdown
What do these mean?Why 68.5?
Mitchell's grade is lifted mainly by strong value per target, ranking 22nd of 68 receivers in adjusted expected points added. With only 15 targets across two games, a few plays swing things a lot, and a stretch of incompletions against Green Bay kept the grade from climbing higher.
Lifting the grade
- Adjusted EPA per target of +0.521 ranks 22nd of 68 receivers
- Week 1 vs TEN: a 40-yard catch on 1st and 20 added +2.7 expected points
- Week 2 vs GB: a penalty-drawing incompletion added +2.5 expected points, and a 15-yard catch on 3rd and 9 added +2.3
Holding it back
- Three incompletions in the GB game each cost expected points (-0.8, -0.8, -0.5)
