Who Should I Start? Marvin Mims Jr. or Cedric Tillman

Saturday, September 20, 12:18 AM

Denver Broncos wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. seems to have dropped to third on the depth chart, which makes him tougher to trust in fantasy football. While there was plenty of buzz about the 23-year-old opening the 2025 season as Denver's No. 2 wide receiver behind Courtland Sutton, he has primarily operated as the No. 3 receiver so far, earning fewer opportunities than Troy Franklin, too. Sutton and Franklin have combined for at least nine receptions in each of the last two weeks, while Mims has failed to amass more than three catches in a single game. He did find the end zone last Sunday, but that type of production won't be sustainable every week. For now, he can be dropped in most leagues, and even in deeper leagues or dynasty formats, he belongs on the bench. That includes this week's matchup against the Chargers, who held every Raiders wide receiver not named Jakobi Meyers to three or fewer catches in Week 2.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Cedric Tillman (hand, hip) logged his second consecutive limited practice session on Thursday while dealing with multiple injuries. Tillman remains as Cleveland's obvious WR2 through three weeks, as he and Jerry Jeudy are the only wideouts to eclipse 100 snaps, boasting 90 more than the next pass-catcher (Isaiah Bond). However, the 25-year-old sustained two injuries in Week 3's 13-10 win against the Green Bay Packers, putting his status for Week 4 in question. Tillman hasn't missed a practice yet, which is a positive sign for his potential designation. Still, he'll likely need to get in a full session before suiting up for their meeting with the hosting Detroit Lions. Bond is the most likely candidate to fill in if Tillman can't go, with teammate Jamari Thrash operating as their third WR. Tight ends David Njoku and Harold Fannin Jr. would also get a boost.
