Who Should I Start? Allen Lazard or Marvin Mims

The New York Jets have given permission to veteran wide receiver Allen Lazard to seek a trade, sources tell ESPN's Adam Schefter. The Jets are also open to bringing Lazard back in 2025 if he cannot find a trade partner. The 29-year-old probably won't have a robust trade market and is still more likely to be cut by the Jets after they overpaid for him on a four-year, $44 million deal prior to the 2023 season, mainly because he's best buddies with quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Lazard had a mere 23 catches for 311 yards and one touchdown in 14 games in 2023 before going for a 37-530-6 line in 12 games in his second season last year. Especially because of the fact that quarterback Aaron Rodgers won't be back in 2025, Lazard will probably be on the move as well and could team up with Rodgers yet again, wherever he goes. The drop-prone wideout is unlikely to be a fantasy factor this fall.

Denver Broncos wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. had a quiet showing during their wild-card loss to the Buffalo Bills, as he caught just two of his four targets for a mere 12 yards. He also added one yard on two rushing attempts. The Broncos offense has trouble finding their footing after the first quarter, hindering Mims' output. His four targets were the second-most on the team. This was a disappointing showing for the sophomore wideout as he began to enjoy a late-season breakout. Over the final five games, Mims averaged a strong 17.5 PPR points per game with 68.2 yards per game. Over the final two weeks of the regular season, Mims tallied four touchdowns and 77.0 yards per game. The Oklahoma product will look to find more consistency as he enters his third professional season.
