Who Should I Start? Marvin Mims Jr. or DeMario Douglas

Friday, November 21, 3:30 PM

Denver Broncos wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. probably finds himself on the waiver wire in most fantasy football leagues with the Broncos headed on their bye in Week 12. Mims caught six of seven targets for a season-high 85 yards in the team's miraculous comeback win over the New York Giants in Week 7, but then he suffered a concussion the following week against the Dallas Cowboys and missed Weeks 9 and 10. In his return to action in Sunday's big win over the Kansas City Chiefs, the 23-year-old played a season-low 24% of the offensive snaps and was not targeted at all. The former second-rounder still has plenty of big-play ability, but during his time away with a concussion, Troy Franklin and rookie Pat Bryant became more involved on offense, and that could continue in Week 13 for a Sunday night contest against Washington. Until further notice, Mims is off the fantasy radar as Denver's WR4.

New England Patriots wide receiver DeMario Douglas continues to face significant competition within his own position group. Ahead of Week 12 against the Cincinnati Bengals, Douglas faces an uphill battle to handle the workload necessary to produce in fantasy football. Douglas has already tied his career-high of three touchdowns this year, but he is behind his 2024 pace in targets, catches, and receiving yards. In fact, he's averaging only 2.1 catches and 30.2 yards per game, and he has surpassed 45 yards in just two different weeks. The 24-year-old has slipped down the pecking order this season after New England brought in Stefon Diggs, Mack Hollins, and Kyle Williams. Meanwhile, Kayshon Boutte (hamstring) has taken on a larger role as a playmaker. While Douglas can still hold his own as a receiver, he has failed to separate himself from the rest of his teammates. As a result, he has a lower fantasy ceiling and remains off the radar in leagues with 14 or fewer teams.
