Marvin Mims Jr. Likely the Odd Man Out in a Crowded Broncos Receiver Room

Tuesday, April 14, 5:50 AM

Denver Broncos wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. is coming off the worst statistical season of his young career, even with Denver throwing the ball at their highest rate since Sean Payton took over as head coach. After posting an average depth of target north of 15 yards as a rookie, the undersized speedster has been used puzzling close to the line of scrimmage in recent years, seeing nearly 40% of his targets behind the line of scrimmage in 2025. Denver sent away a first and third-round pick to add Jaylen Waddle to a receiving room that still features the reliable target-earner Courtland Sutton, as well as Troy Franklin and Pat Bryant, whose own skillsets share enough overlap with Mims to create a blockade to any sort of meaningful fantasy production. Mims has fallen to WR98 in RotoBaller's dynasty rankings, but as proven in the Broncos playoff loss to the Patriots, he works best as a downfield threat, so if he can capitalize on the occasional explosive play, he could still have his place in best ball formats.

DeMario Douglas News

DeMario Douglas in Limited Role Heading into Contract Year

Thursday, February 19, 5:04 PM

New England Patriots wide receiver DeMario Douglas had a disappointing third year in the NFL, even though his team advanced all the way to the Super Bowl. The 25-year-old pass-catcher had career lows in catches (31), targets (46), and receiving yards (447) while scoring just three touchdowns for the second straight season in 17 regular-season games. Quarterback Drake Maye was in the running for MVP honors in his second season, but Douglas just couldn't stand out in a crowded receiving corps that also included Stefon Diggs, Kayshon Boutte, Mack Hollins, and rookie Kyle Williams. His 447 receiving yards were fifth on the team, and he added seven carries for 21 yards on the ground. Douglas will be in a contract year in 2026, but with all of the above-mentioned receivers returning to New England, it's hard to envision Douglas becoming a strong weekly fantasy football option.
