- Teammate Garrett Wilson (a top target) is questionable.
A hurt top target or lead back nudges the projection up a little, since their work tends to shift to teammates. QB and offensive-line flags are shown for context but do not change the number.
This is how WRs have played against the Lions in the 2026 season.
WR2 = the second-highest-scoring WR against Lions in each game, not a fixed depth-chart spot.

How Adonai Mitchell should do vs the LionsSeason log, the group you pick, and a projection
Season so far, compared with what the group you pick below has done against the Lions, plus a projection for this game.
What is this table?
Rows at the top are every game Adonai Mitchell has played this season, using the same stat columns as the table above.
Compare against picks which group of Lions opponents to line them up with: the best WR they faced in each game (1), the second best (2), the third best (3), or all of the top three. Nobody knows which slot Adonai Mitchell will land in this week, so this is your call, not a guess.
Lions avg is the average line of that group. Difference is that minus Adonai Mitchell's own average: green means the defense gives that slot more than Adonai Mitchell usually produces.
Projected is Adonai Mitchell's recent-weighted average scaled by how generous the Lions were to the slot you picked. Change the slot and the projected points change, because each slot has a different matchup adjustment. Picking Top 3 uses the usual-role projection.

| Difference | -0.8 | +0.0 | -10.3 | +0.8 | +3.5 | |
Difference is what the defense allows minus what Mitchell averages (green = defense gives up more). Projected stats scale the player's averages by the matchup adjustment, so they are a rough guide.
Prediction & chance to scoreAdonai Mitchell vs the Lions
Prediction for Adonai Mitchell
Nobody knows which slot Adonai Mitchell will land in this week, so pick the one you expect. The projection changes because each slot faces a different average from the Lions.
I predict about 10.6 points for Adonai Mitchell if playing as a WR2. Adonai Mitchell has averaged 10.7 over 2 games, and the Lions have given up 15.6 to WR2s (+91% vs the league average of 8.2).
How this projection is built
1. The player. Adonai Mitchell scored: Wk 1 9.0, Wk 2 12.3. Average 10.7; weighted toward recent games it is 8.2.
2. The defense. Over 2 games, the Lions allowed 15.6 points to their opponent's WR2. The league average for that slot is 8.2, so that is +91%.
3. Trusting small samples less. With 2 defensive games, only 40% of the gap is applied, capped at +/-30%. That gives a +30% adjustment (x1.30).
4. Result. 8.2 x 1.30 = 10.6. Switching slots only changes step 2 and 3: the player's own numbers stay the same, but each slot faces a different defensive average.
It is a statistical model, not knowledge of injuries, game script or weather.
Chance to score
Type a point total to see how likely Adonai Mitchell is to reach it as a WR2.
Why this percentage?
The projection (10.6) is the middle of the range. Fantasy scores swing a lot from game to game, so the model spreads possible scores around it by about 6.4 points, leaning on Adonai Mitchell's own game-to-game swings once there are several games (and on typical WR swings before that).
Scores are modelled as right-skewed, since a big game is possible but a very negative one is not. The percentage is the share of that spread at or above 11.
With only 2 games of history, treat this as a rough gauge. It gets sharper as the season goes on. It is never lower than 1% or higher than 99%.
