  "account": "New York Jets wide receiver Adonai Mitchell is set to return from a finger injury in Week 7, marking his first full game with first-round wideout Omar Cooper Jr. Mitchell began the season strongly, catching 9 of 14 targets for 123 yards in the first two games. However, his return will come at a time when the Jets' offense features a fully healthy first-round wideout. Mitchell may find himself as the WR2 or an afterthought, making him a flex option with more risk than upside. On the other hand, Cooper returned last week after an injury and had an impressive game, catching six of seven targets for 103 yards and a touchdown. However, his performance could be a one-game sample size, as he has only caught three passes for 15 yards in three games since then. Cooper should be viewed as a high-upside flex option this week, while fantasy managers should consider Wilson, the clear-cut WR1, as their top choice for Week 7.",
