Who Should I Start? DeVonta Smith or Marvin Mims Jr.

Tuesday, October 28, 4:43 PM

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith caught six of his nine targets for 84 yards in Sunday's 38-20 win over the New York Giants. As expected, without No. 1 wide receiver A.J. Brown in the lineup, Smith led the team in targets, receptions, and yards as the Eagles cruised to victory. It was impressive for Smith to record this line, given how well the Eagles ran the ball, which led to Jalen Hurts only attempting 20 passes in the game. The 26-year-old should be expected to operate as the clear focal point of the passing game if Brown is unable to play in their next game, which will come in Week 10 against the Packers after their Week 9 bye.

Denver Broncos wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. (concussion) has been officially ruled out for the Week 9 contest on the road this Sunday against the Houston Texans. Mims suffered a concussion in last week's blowout victory over the Dallas Cowboys and was unable to practice at all this week. With a quick turnaround coming for a Week 10 divisional matchup on Thursday night next week against the Las Vegas Raiders, Mims may miss another game. The 23-year-old pass-catcher has been a borderline rosterable bench player in 12-team fantasy leagues this year with 22 receptions for 234 yards and just one touchdown. Mims has had a couple of boom games, but outside of that, he's been a bust in fantasy. With Mims sidelined this Sunday, look for Troy Franklin to have a higher ceiling as the team's WR2 behind Courtland Sutton.
