Start Adonai Mitchell: 64 percent of the snaps and 25 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Jeremiyah Love's 37 percent of the snaps and 49 percent of the carries. No market projection is posted on either of them this week, so this is a usage call, and a lower confidence one than a call made on a projection. What follows is what each of them has done.

The gap
- Board size302 draftable players
Draft data is not current for these two, so the figures that depend on it are left out. The call above comes from each player's usage.
Where the draft room stands
Live drafts hold no current pick on Jeremiyah Love, and the board ranks him 145th overall on the rest of his evidence.
By format he goes standard: ADP 10; 2QB: ADP 29.
Live drafts hold no current pick on Adonai Mitchell, and the board ranks him 146th overall on the rest of his evidence.
The market-based projections
The market-based projection for Jeremiyah Love is 2.1 PPR points a game off 1 market across 1 market source. That is 30 percent of what a running back's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.
The market-based projection for Adonai Mitchell is 1.8 PPR points a game off 1 market across 1 market source. That is 30 percent of what a wide receiver's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.
Jeremiyah Love's projection is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.
This season through Week 8
Through Week 8, Jeremiyah Love has been on the field for 44 percent of ARI snaps, taken 52 percent of the carries, drawn 6 percent of the targets and had 23 percent of the red zone chances.
He has taken 2 of the offence's 64 third down targets, had 3 of its 22 chances inside the five and seen 3 of its 49 two minute targets.
His 14 targets have averaged 0.6 air yards.
In Week 4 against NYG he carried 14 times for 63 yards, caught 1 of 1 target for -8 yards and did not score.
In Week 5 against DET he carried 12 times for 22 yards, caught 0 of 1 target for 0 yards and did not score.
In Week 8 against DAL he carried 9 times for 23 yards and did not score.
Through Week 8, Adonai Mitchell has been on the field for 65 percent of NYJ snaps, drawn 23 percent of the targets and had 7 percent of the red zone chances.
He has taken 9 of the offence's 35 third down targets, had 0 of its 11 chances inside the five and seen 4 of its 12 two minute targets.

In Week 7 against MIA he caught 0 of 3 targets for 0 yards and did not score.
In Week 8 against LV he caught 7 of 9 targets for 142 yards and scored 1 touchdown.
Their 2025 seasons
Jeremiyah Love is a rookie, so there is no NFL season behind him to price him against.
In 2025 Adonai Mitchell played 16 games and scored 87.9 PPR points, 5.5 a game, finishing WR73.
He caught 33 of 74 targets for 453 yards and 2 touchdowns, with 7 red zone targets.
That came to 4.6 targets a game, a 45 percent catch rate and 13.7 yards a catch.
He was on the field for 50 percent of the snaps in the games he played.
Side by side
Jeremiyah Love is a running back and Adonai Mitchell a wide receiver, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.
Byes and availability
Jeremiyah Love is off in Week 14 and Adonai Mitchell in Week 13, so either can cover the other's bye.
Jeremiyah Love is listed as out on the injury report.
