Adonai Mitchell vs Jaylen Waddle: The Full Breakdown
Two wide receivers who will land on plenty of the same rosters in 2026. Adonai Mitchell (Indianapolis Colts) finished the 2025 season averaging 7.8 fantasy points per game in 16 games. Jaylen Waddle (Miami Dolphins) came in at 10.1 PPG over 16 games. The gap is real but not insurmountable with the right matchup.
Jaylen Waddle carries a 2.3-point PPG advantage from the 2025 season. That baseline matters, but it is one input among several. Matchup difficulty, scoring trends, and injury reports move the needle week to week, which is why the best answer changes depending on when you are asking.
Target volume is the story here. Jaylen Waddle saw 100 targets in 2025, while Adonai Mitchell drew 68. That workload gap usually translates into a higher weekly floor for Jaylen Waddle, even in weeks where Adonai Mitchell posts the bigger ceiling game. Consistency-minded managers lean toward target share; boom-bust managers chase the upside.
One scheduling note: Adonai Mitchell is off Week 14 and Jaylen Waddle Week 6. If these two are on your roster, you will need a fill-in wide receiver for both weeks. DraftCall flags bye conflicts so you can plan ahead rather than panic on waivers.
