Adonai Mitchell Still Worth a Look on Waivers
New York Jets wide receiver Adonai Mitchell failed to catch any of his seven targets in Sunday's 35-12 loss to Kansas City. The disappointing outing followed a breakout Week 8 performance against Las Vegas, when he caught seven passes for 142 yards and a touchdown. Mitchell continues to see opportunities with Garrett Wilson (concussion) sidelined, but his production has been inconsistent. His seven targets Sunday are encouraging for fantasy managers considering a waiver claim, even if the results weren't. Mitchell remains a speculative addition in deeper leagues ahead of Week 10 against Buffalo. Managers should monitor Wilson's health throughout the week, as his return would likely reduce Mitchell's opportunities in the passing game.

Breece Hall's Return Restores His RB2 Value
New York Jets running back Breece Hall handled 13 carries before halftime in his first game back after missing five games due to a quadriceps injury. The Jets trailed by two at the break, and Hall got just two more carries as the Kansas City Chiefs pulled away for a 35-12 Week 9 win. Hall finished with 61 rushing yards and caught three of four targets for 26 yards, good for 11.7 PPR points. He caught two passes for 20 yards after halftime, including a 14-yard gain in the fourth quarter. Hall was limited Wednesday and practiced in full Thursday and Friday before entering the game without an injury designation. He led the Jets' backfield in carries and targets, with Braelon Allen getting eight carries and two targets. Hall has caught multiple passes in each of his four games this season, including five for 63 yards against the Green Bay Packers in Week 2. That receiving work keeps Hall in the PPR RB2 tier for the Week 10 home game against the Buffalo Bills, who entered Week 9 allowing 97.4 rushing yards per game.

Adonai Mitchell Slides Back to Fantasy Benches
New York Jets wide receiver Adonai Mitchell drew two goal-to-go targets on the opening drive against the Kansas City Chiefs. Both fell incomplete, and New York settled for a field goal. Mitchell finished without a catch on seven targets in Sunday's 35-12 Week 9 loss. Geno Smith threw three of those passes on the Jets' final possession, targeting Mitchell on first, third and fourth down with New York trailing by 23 points. With Garrett Wilson (concussion) out, Mitchell ranked second on the team in targets behind Omar Cooper Jr., who caught eight of 11 for 58 yards. Mitchell had caught seven of nine targets for 142 yards and a touchdown against the Las Vegas Raiders a week earlier, but he also went without a catch on three targets against the Miami Dolphins in Week 7. That's two zero-point fantasy outings in his past three games. Mitchell belongs on the bench in most 12-team leagues when the Jets host the Buffalo Bills in Week 10. Cooper has the stronger PPR case if Wilson remains sidelined.

Braelon Allen's Flex Value Takes a Hit
New York Jets running back Braelon Allen got eight carries with Breece Hall (quad) back in the lineup Sunday. Allen ran for 33 yards and caught both of his targets for 21 yards in the 35-12 Week 9 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. His 19-yard catch came on the opening drive, and he lost a yard on a carry from the Kansas City four-yard line later in that possession. Nick Bolton forced an Allen fumble in the second quarter, and the Chiefs scored two plays later. Allen finished with 5.4 PPR points after the turnover deduction. Hall led the backfield with 15 carries for 61 yards and added three catches for 26 yards. He also outcarried Allen 38 to 15 across the first two games of the season. Allen had run for 147 yards and a touchdown on 21 carries against the Las Vegas Raiders a week earlier. He belongs on the bench in most 12-team leagues when the Jets host the Buffalo Bills in Week 10. He's worth holding as Hall's backup after averaging 100.8 rushing yards across the five games Hall missed.

Jets Intend to Keep Breece Hall Through Trade Deadline
New York Jets running back Breece Hall is expected to stay with the team through Tuesday's trade deadline, according to Jonathan Jones. The Jets signed Hall to a multiyear extension in May after he rushed for a career-high 1,065 yards last season. Head coach Aaron Glenn said earlier this week that Hall remains the starter and Braelon Allen will continue to get touches. Allen rushed for 504 yards in the five games Hall missed with a quad injury. Hall is active against the Kansas City Chiefs after progressing from a limited Wednesday practice to full sessions Thursday and Friday. He carried no game designation on the final injury report.

Breece Hall Appears Set to Start Against Chiefs
New York Jets running back Breece Hall (quad) appears set to start against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 9, based on Zack Rosenblatt's pregame warmup observations. Head coach Aaron Glenn said earlier this week that Hall remains the starter and Braelon Allen will still get touches. Hall is active for the first time since Week 3 after practicing in full Thursday and Friday following a limited Wednesday session. He carried no game designation. Rich Cimini projected a roughly even split in carries, with the Jets prepared to adjust based on game flow. Allen caught 13 passes for 70 yards in the five games Hall missed, including six catches against Miami.

Breece Hall Expected to Split Carries in Week 9 Return
New York Jets running back Breece Hall is expected to split carries roughly evenly with Braelon Allen against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 9, according to Rich Cimini. Hall is active after missing five games. He was limited Wednesday, practiced in full Thursday and Friday, and had no game designation. Hall outcarried Allen 38 to 15 in the first two games of the season. Allen averaged 18.6 carries in the five games Hall missed, capping that stretch with 147 rushing yards and a touchdown against Las Vegas. Cimini reported that the Jets could adjust the split based on game flow and which back is producing. Hall caught at least two passes in each of his three games, including five for 63 yards against Green Bay. Both backs are viable flex plays in 12-team leagues, with a slight edge to Hall in full PPR.

Jets Have No Intention of Trading Breece Hall
The Athletic's Jonathan Jones reports that the New York Jets have no desire or intention to trade running back Breece Hall or wide receiver Garrett Wilson (concussion) by Tuesday's deadline, according to multiple sources. "It is very unlikely to happen," one team source says. Trade chatter around Hall has increased in recent weeks due to the emergence of Braelon Allen, who has more than 100 scrimmage yards in each of his past four games. Since Week 5, Allen ranks third among RBs in scrimmage yards. The Jets are 2-6 and in third place in a two-team division with a trip to Kansas City to face the Chiefs this weekend. After his first career 1,000-yard rushing season in 2025, Hall has been a disappointment and will be returning on Sunday for the first time since Sept. 27 due to a quad injury. The Jets have the fourth, sixth, and 10th picks in the 2027 NFL Draft, so it isn't as if they are desperate for draft capital for next year. Hall is currently averaging a career-low 3.2 yards per carry with one rushing touchdown in three games as he gets set to return in Week 9, where he will likely yield more of the backfield work to Allen, who has looked much better so far this year.

Mason Taylor Offers PPR Streaming Value Against Kansas City
New York Jets tight end Mason Taylor (back) has drawn at least five targets in three straight games and could see more work Sunday at Kansas City with receiver Garrett Wilson (concussion) out. Taylor practiced fully on Thursday and Friday after being limited Wednesday and carries no game designation. His five catches for 62 yards and two touchdowns against Miami in Week 7 were followed by three catches for 19 yards against Las Vegas. The Chiefs have allowed 48 catches, 459 yards and five touchdowns to tight ends in seven games, a matchup that puts Taylor in play as a streamer in 12-team PPR leagues. Denver tight ends Adam Trautman and Nate Adkins combined for four catches, 34 yards and a touchdown against Kansas City in Week 8, while Evan Engram went catchless on three targets. New York also rotates at the position. Taylor drew five targets to Kenyon Sadiq's two against Las Vegas, but their playing time was closer, with Taylor logging 39 offensive snaps and Sadiq playing 31. That target edge gives Taylor a better chance to help PPR managers even if the two continue to share playing time.

Omar Cooper Jr. Has Rebound Potential in Week 9
New York Jets wide receiver Omar Cooper Jr. played 50 of 64 offensive snaps against Las Vegas last week without drawing a target. He remains a viable flex in deeper leagues for Sunday's road game against Kansas City with Garrett Wilson (concussion) out and more receiving work available. Before the Raiders game, Cooper put up 103 yards and a touchdown on six catches against New England, followed by 115 yards and a score on five catches against Miami. Those games included gains of 48 and 60 yards, respectively, showing how quickly he can turn a few opportunities into a productive fantasy day. The Jets also lined him up in the backfield on his three-yard touchdown against Miami, giving them another way to get him the ball. Adonai Mitchell is coming off a 142-yard game and figures to command a share of the work Wilson leaves behind. Kansas City held Denver's wide receivers to 115 yards on 11 catches in Week 8. The matchup and the uncertainty around how many targets Cooper will draw make him a bench option in shallow leagues.

Adonai Mitchell in the Flex Mix After Week 8 Breakout
New York Jets wide receiver Adonai Mitchell has a chance to build on his career game when New York visits Kansas City on Sunday without Garrett Wilson (concussion). Mitchell caught seven of nine targets for 142 yards and a touchdown against Las Vegas in Week 8 while Wilson drew 12 targets. His snap share jumped from 44% in his Week 7 return from a finger injury to 61% against the Raiders. Even after missing four games, Mitchell leads the Jets with nine deep targets, catching four of them for 129 yards. The Chiefs will be without cornerback Mansoor Delane (shoulder), but their secondary held Denver's Courtland Sutton to 53 yards and Jaylen Waddle to 39 last Sunday. Waddle still found the end zone, scoring from one yard out. Mitchell's expanded playing time and downfield role put him in the WR3 or flex range in 12-team leagues. He went without a catch on three targets against Miami two weeks ago, and this will be his first chance to show what his workload looks like with Wilson out this season.

Braelon Allen Has Flex Value as Backfield Changes
New York Jets running back Braelon Allen has surpassed 100 scrimmage yards in four straight games heading into Sunday's matchup with the Kansas City Chiefs. He reached a career-high 147 rushing yards on 21 carries against Las Vegas in Week 8 and added a touchdown and two catches for six yards. Allen played 53 of New York's 64 offensive snaps, with Isaiah Davis logging 11. That distribution is likely to change with Breece Hall (quadriceps) set to return after practicing fully Friday. Offensive coordinator Frank Reich plans to use both backs and still considers Hall the lead option. Allen remains a flex in 12-team leagues, but the matchup is less forgiving if his volume drops. Kansas City held Denver backs Jonah Coleman and J.K. Dobbins to 54 rushing yards on 18 combined carries last Sunday, though Coleman scored from five yards out. Allen's 17 receptions have produced just 81 yards this season. He averaged nearly 20 carries across those four 100-yard games, a workload that will be harder to sustain with Hall back.

Breece Hall Returns to a Shared Backfield
New York Jets running back Breece Hall (quadriceps) carries no game designation for Sunday's matchup at Kansas City. He practiced fully Thursday and Friday after a limited Wednesday session and is set to return from a five-game absence. Offensive coordinator Frank Reich still views Hall as the lead back and said he would mix in Braelon Allen according to how the game unfolds. Allen rushed for 504 yards during Hall's absence, giving New York a productive second option. Hall averaged 20.3 touches across his three early-season appearances, rushing for 163 yards and a touchdown on 51 carries and catching 10 passes for 102 yards. His receiving work gives him a case as a flex in 12-team PPR leagues even if his carries dip. The Chiefs have allowed 674 rushing yards on 190 attempts this season. Denver's Jonah Coleman found more room through the air in Week 8, catching four passes for 63 yards, though 51 came on one play. Hall's previous workload would put him in the RB2 conversation, but that volume is harder to project in his first game back.

Geno Smith Loses Top Target Ahead of Week 9
New York Jets quarterback Geno Smith will face the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday without Garrett Wilson (concussion), who leads the team with 43 catches and 527 receiving yards. Smith threw for 290 yards and two touchdowns against Las Vegas in Week 8, averaging 9.1 yards per attempt. The Jets have scored 25 and 33 points over their last two games, and Smith has thrown 12 touchdown passes against three interceptions this season. His 15 completions on passes traveling at least 20 yards in the air are tied for the league lead. Adonai Mitchell, coming off a 142-yard game, gives Smith another receiver who can win downfield. Kansas City has allowed seven passing touchdowns in seven games, though Bo Nix accounted for two of them on 222 passing yards last Sunday. Smith has rushed for just 46 yards without a touchdown in eight games, so replacing Wilson's production matters even more to his fantasy outlook. He is a low-end QB2 for Superflex managers and a sit in 12-team, one-quarterback leagues.

Braelon Allen Falls Out of the Lead-Back Role
New York Jets running back Braelon Allen's remarkable run as the primary ball-carrier has come to an end. Allen will likely fall back into the No. 2 role -- or at least the 1B behind the 1A -- with Breece Hall (quad) expected to return from a five-game absence on Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 9. To say that the 22-year-old filled in admirably would be an understatement. During his four games as the lead back, Allen totaled 93 carries, 504 rushing yards, 13 catches, 70 receiving yards, and two total touchdowns. He had 23+ touches in three of those five contests, and he ranked as the overall RB9 in half-PPR leagues throughout that five-game window. While Hall will return and significantly eat into Allen's workload, we do expect the Wisconsin product to remain involved. His recent run as the starter has shown that he's capable of producing while operating in a near-every-down capacity, and he could represent the future of the running back position in New York with Hall's name frequently coming up in trade rumors. For now, Allen is best viewed as an RB3/flex; he certainly has standalone value, but he also has a much lower floor.
