Kendrick Bourne News
Friday, July 10, 10:23 AM
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Kendrick Bourne is looking to remain relevant on his new team. Bourne signed a two-year, $12 million deal with the Cardinals during the offseason. He's currently projected as the third wideout behind Marvin Harrison Jr. and Michael Wilson. Last season, Bourne recorded 37 receptions, 551 receiving yards, and zero touchdowns across 16 games (eight starts) with the San Francisco 49ers. He's a decent depth option, but is likely to get lost in the shuffle in Arizona. Bourne will be the fourth passing option with Harrison, Wilson, and tight end Trey McBride ahead of him in the pecking order. The Cardinals are also loaded at running back, so they could opt to be more run-heavy next season. Unless an injury or two happens, Bourne is unlikely to have weekly fantasy value. He belongs on the waiver wire in most 12-team formats to begin the season.

Marvin Mims Jr. News
Thursday, July 16, 1:00 PM
Denver Broncos wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. is still only 24, but another major addition has made his 2026 role harder to trust. He finished last season with 37 catches for 322 yards and one touchdown, down from 503 yards and six scores in 2024. Denver then traded a first-round pick, among other selections, for Jaylen Waddle. Courtland Sutton remains, and Troy Franklin and Pat Bryant are also fighting for snaps. Mims will still matter to the Broncos because he is one of the NFL's better returners, but that does not help fantasy managers much. He played only 33% of Denver's offensive snaps last year, even before Waddle arrived. There is still a patience case in dynasty. Mims is 24, can create with the ball in his hands, and is entering the final season of his rookie contract. He has also acknowledged this could be his last year in Denver. Contenders should not count on him for 2026. Rebuilders with room should hold rather than sell for scraps, since a new team in 2027 may offer the receiving opportunity he has yet to find.
