Denver Broncos wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. stayed involved in the offense in Sunday's 38-6 blowout win over the Atlanta Falcons in Week 11 after receiving a season-high seven touches in last week's loss to the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs. Mims caught both of his targets for 49 yards and his first touchdown of the year while also carrying the ball three times for a pickup of four yards. The 22-year-old, who also contributes on special teams in the return game, has given the surging Broncos offense a different dynamic the last two weeks, but his involvement hasn't been enough to really turn the heads of fantasy managers. That will especially be the case whenever Josh Reynolds (finger) returns from Injured Reserve. With quarterback Bo Nix spreading the ball around to a receiving corps that is suddenly ripe with options, Mims will continue to struggle to find weekly fantasy relevance.

Denver Broncos wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. came into the Week 10 game against the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs with seven catches on 15 targets for 56 yards while carrying the ball one time for a pickup of 17 yards. In the 16-14 loss on Sunday, the Broncos made it a point to get him more involved, as he caught all four of his targets for 13 yards and carried the ball three times for 17 yards. His four targets on the day were tied for second on the team with rookie Devaughn Vele behind Courtland Sutton's nine targets. Mims came into Week 10 having not exceeded two catches in any game, so Sunday's involvement was his most of the season. However, the 22-year-old second-year wideout didn't do much with his seven touches and shouldn't be expected to have a similar role when the Broncos look to get back over .500 in Week 11 against the visiting Atlanta Falcons.

Denver Broncos wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. had a hot-and-cold practice on Saturday but showed off his explosive play prowess nonetheless. During the early portion of practice, Jarrett Stidham placed a beautiful ball just out of reach of the fingertips of Mims, who couldn't complete the diving grab. The second-year wideout then caught a ball during Bo Nix's go, but he saved his biggest play of the day for last. In an end-of-game, win-or-go-home hypothetical situation, the Broncos' offense was down to 4th-and-18, and Stidham completed his pass to Mims this time for 23 yards, keeping the drive alive. He also flashed his explosiveness in stints during his rookie season, and Denver's WR room is wide open behind Courtland Sutton. He'll be vying for targets with fellow wideouts Josh Reynolds and rookie wide receiver Troy Franklin. Mims is a late-round choice in fantasy drafts right now at WR72 with an NFFC ADP 185, making him worth a flier in best ball and deep leagues as a big play threat.

Denver Broncos wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. was the first selection of the Sean Payton era, landing with the organization at the end of the second round in the 2023 NFL Draft. However, he caught just 22 of his 33 targets for 377 yards and one touchdown. He was a Pro Bowler and second-team All-Pro selection as a returner, and Jon Heath of Broncos Wire believes he should be more involved in the offense in 2024. "Mims is poised to make a big impact as a returner again in 2024, but his contributions won't end there," Heath wrote. "Mims averaged 17.1 yards per reception last fall, but he was used sporadically on offense. After trading Jerry Jeudy to the Browns this spring, the Broncos will have more snaps (and targets) available for Mims on offense this fall. The 22-year-old special teams ace could be on the verge of a breakout year as a receiver." Mims will compete with Josh Reynolds, Troy Franklin, and Tim Patrick for snaps, all of whom aren't standout pass-catchers. The Broncos are likely to have one of the worst offenses in the NFL under rookie quarterback Bo Nix, but Mims could still be a solid late-round fantasy option considering his price outside the top 75 wide receivers.

Denver Broncos wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. said he's feeling better heading into his second year in the NFL, and the electric return man will also get more chances to return kicks in 2024 with the new league rules. Mims averaged 26.5 yards per kickoff return last year and had one of the league's four return touchdowns. The second-round pick last year was a Pro Bowl returner in his rookie season, but he had only 22 catches for 377 yards and a touchdown as a receiver, with most of the production coming early in the year. The coaching staff struggled to find snaps for Mims behind Courtland Sutton and Jerry Jeudy. Jeudy is now gone, but Mims will be competing for snaps with Josh Reynolds, Tim Patrick and rookie Troy Franklin. Mims has the potential to make noise as a deep threat once again, but unless an injury opens up consistent snaps for him on offense, he may just be more of a special teams asset for Denver in 2024.

The Denver Broncos are expecting to see growth from wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. as he heads into his second year in the league. "You're going to see a lot of growth from Year 1 to Year 2," head coach Sean Payton said. Mims, the team's second-round pick (63rd overall) in 2023 out of Oklahoma, averaged a healthy 17.1 yards per catch in his first NFL season last year but caught just 22 passes on 33 targets for 377 yards and only one touchdown in 16 games (seven starts). The 22-year-old didn't get all that many opportunities to get into a rhythm in his rookie campaign but showed potential as a deep threat down the field from time to time. His fantasy stock immediately got a boost when the team traded Jerry Jeudy to the Browns in the offseason, but he'll still have to show improvement in Year 2 in order to see playing time alongside Josh Reynolds, Tim Patrick and rookie Troy Franklin.

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. (hamstring) missed the first game of his career in last week's win over the Los Angeles Chargers, but he returned to full practice this week and will suit up for the Week 18 regular season finale against the Las Vegas Raiders. With both Mims and Courtland Sutton (concussion) out last week, Lil'Jordan Humphrey caught two passes for 69 yards and a touchdown. Denver has nothing to play for on Sunday, so expect Mims and other young players to get more run against the division-rival Raiders. It doesn't mean the 21-year-old will be a worthwhile low-cost DFS play, though, especially with quarterback Jarrett Stidham making another start. In his first 15 NFL games, Mims has produced just 21 receptions on 32 targets for 361 yards and one touchdown.
Jan 6, 2024 1:56 PM EST
Denver Broncos wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. (hamstring), who had been listed as questionable after missing practice on Friday, is officially inactive for Week 17 versus the Los Angeles Chargers. The 21-year-old has accrued 21 catches, 361 yards, and one touchdown while also playing a key role on special teams over the course of 15 games in his rookie campaign. Denver finds itself shorthanded at wide receiver with Mims and Courtland Sutton (concussion) sidelined, leaving Jerry Jeudy as Denver's top receiver for this divisional clash.
Dec 31, 2023 3:21 PM EST
Denver Broncos wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. (hamstring) isn't expected to play on Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers. The rookie has 361 yards and a touchdown off 21 receptions this season, making him the third-most productive wideout for Denver. With Courtland Sutton (concussion) out in Week 17, Mims could have gotten more involved. However, now that Mims is out of the equation, Jerry Jeudy (illness), who is expected to play, should see even more attention. There's also room for guys like Lil'Jordan Humphrey, Brandon Johnson, and Adam Trautman to receive extra targets. But with Jarrett Stidham under center, nobody on the offensive side of the ball can be trusted to be a viable source of fantasy production.
Dec 31, 2023 2:05 AM EST
Denver Broncos wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. (hamstring) is currently considered as questionable for the upcoming Week 17 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. The rookie wideout popped up on the injury report on Thursday. Mims was a limited participant on Thursday, but didn't practice at all on Friday. Given the Broncos current situation, it wouldn't be shocking to see them sit Mims if he's not 100 percent healthy. The fantasy value for this offense has dropped quite a bit with Jarrett Stidham expected to be under center. It's probably best to avoid Mims even if he's active for this game.
Dec 29, 2023 9:45 PM EST
Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. (hamstring) was added to the Week 17 injury report on Thursday following his limited practice. It remains to be seen if Mims' downgrade in practice status is an actual injury that could keep him from playing this Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers or if it's something more minor and he was just being rested on Thursday. We should know more on the 21-year-old's status on Friday. If he plays, Mims could be in line for a bigger role if Courtland Sutton is unable to clear the league's concussion protocol. Even if Sutton is inactive and Mims is active, the young speed pass-catcher should be avoided in starting fantasy lineups in Week 17 with quarterback Jarrett Stidham now running the Broncos' offense.
Dec 28, 2023 7:43 PM EST
Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. could very well get behind the Detroit Lions secondary for a big play in Week 15's Saturday night showdown, but it's also pretty unlikely. Mims has mainly been a special-teams standout as a kick returner in his first NFL season. On the offensive side, he made most of his noise in 2023 early in the year and has totaled only 18 catches for 298 yards and one touchdown on 26 targets over 13 games. The 21-year-old speedster saw a brief uptick in involvement following the Week 9 bye, but he was back down to 37% of the offensive snaps played last week and hasn't caught more than two passes or exceeded 47 receiving yards in a game since the team's 50-point blowout loss to the Miami Dolphins in Week 3. Even though the Lions D is one of the better matchups for receivers, Mims doesn't belong in starting fantasy lineups in Week 15.
Dec 16, 2023 11:20 AM EST
Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. (ribs) was on the team's injury report again this week but put in full practices on Thursday and Friday and has been cleared to play in Week 14 against the division-rival Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday. Even in a great matchup against the Chargers' shaky secondary this weekend, Mims cannot be trusted in starting fantasy lineups. The 21-year-old speedy deep threat is well behind Courtland Sutton and Jerry Jeudy in terms of snaps played on offense and hasn't had more than two receptions in a game since Week 3. Mims just hasn't been involved enough in the game plan and has 16 receptions on 23 targets for 287 yards and one touchdown in his first 12 NFL games in 2023. Since the Week 9 bye, he has five receptions for 41 yards on nine targets, adding three carries for an additional 16 yards.
Dec 9, 2023 2:07 PM EST
Denver Broncos wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. (ribs) was a full participant in Thursday's practice. An injury to Mims' ribs limited his practice reps during Wednesday's session, but a return to full activity on Thursday firmly puts him on course to be active for Week 14's home contest versus the division-rival Los Angeles Chargers. A three-game stretch with 233 receiving yards and a touchdown from Weeks 2 through 4 seem like a distant memory at this point for the 21-year-old second-round rookie, who has managed just 45 scoreless yards over the subsequent eight outings dating back to Week 5. Assuming he is available for Sunday's action, Mims would line up to take on his normal complementary role as a situational deep threat for quarterback Russell Wilson behind top targets Courtland Sutton and Jerry Jeudy.
Dec 8, 2023 12:54 AM EST
Denver Broncos wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. (ribs) was limited by a rib injury on Wednesday as his team began preparing to take on the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 14. Mims dealt with a hamstring injury leading up to last week's game but his injury status now shows a rib injury as what is ailing him. Mims will have chances on Thursday and Friday to get upgraded to a full practice. Stay tuned.
Dec 6, 2023 9:31 PM EST
Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. (hamstring) was on this week's injury report but was removed after putting in a full practice on Friday. Mims will be active in Week 13 against the Houston Texans, but he shouldn't be in starting fantasy lineups. The 21-year-old has dabbled on offense in his first NFL season, but he's been more valuable to Denver as a return man on special teams. Mims has a grand total of only 15 catches on 21 targets for 282 yards and one touchdown in 11 games this year. He's played over 50 percent of the offensive snaps in a game just twice. Mims is always a threat to make a big play down the field given his speed, but he just hasn't been involved enough on offense to make him a realistic fantasy weapon.
Dec 2, 2023 2:09 PM EST
Denver Broncos wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. was limited with a hamstring injury on Wednesday. Mims will now have chances on Thursday and Friday to get in a full practice as his team gears up to face off against the Houston Texans in Week 13. That being said, Mims has not been a major piece of the Denver offense in what has been his rookie season.
Nov 29, 2023 8:50 PM EST
Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. has been on the field much more in the last two weeks, but it has amounted to only two receptions on four targets for 12 yards. During Denver's four-game winning streak, Mims has three catches on six targets for 12 yards and he has had more than two receptions in a game just once all year -- back in Week 3 when he had three in the 70-20 loss to the Dolphins. While the 21-year-old has impressive speed and big-play abilities, he's mostly been a factor for Denver on special teams as a returner and not as a pass-catcher in his first year in the NFL. He's always a threat to make a big play down the field, but he's not worth a starting spot in fantasy lineups, especially in Week 12 against the best defense in the league in the Cleveland Browns.
Nov 25, 2023 1:28 PM EST
Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. (ankle) was on this week's injury report but will be fine to play on Sunday night versus the Minnesota Vikings after practicing in full on Thursday and Friday. The Broncos discussed the possibility of getting Mims on the field more on offense during their Week 9 bye, and he played a season-high 69% of the offensive snaps in the Week 10 win over the Buffalo Bills. However, that translated to no catches on one target. The speedy 21-year-old deep threat made some noise down the field early on in 2023 and is fourth on the Broncos with 246 receiving yards, but he has no business in starting fantasy lineups despite a good matchup in Week 11 against the Vikings secondary. Mims hasn't caught more than two passes in a game since Week 4 and has two receptions for four yards in the last five contests.
Nov 18, 2023 1:43 PM EST
Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. (ankle) was limited in practice on Wednesday but upgraded to full participation for Thursday's session, putting him on the right track to be available to play on Sunday night in a showdown against the visiting Minnesota Vikings. Fellow wideout Jerry Jeudy (hip) was added to the injury report on Thursday, so Mims could be looking at his highest snap percentage in Week 11 if Jeudy is ultimately out or limited in any way. Mims played a season-high 69% of the offensive snaps coming out of the bye in the Week 10 win against the Buffalo Bills, although it only led to one target. The 21-year-old hasn't had more than one target in a game since Week 4 and has two receptions for four yards in the last five games. At best, he'd be a deep-league flex dart throw for his big-play abilities.
