Who Should I Start? Marvin Mims Jr. or Emeka Egbuka

Saturday, June 21, 8:40 PM

Denver Broncos wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. is aiming for another trip to the Pro Bowl. "When you're hitting a streak, why not keep it going," said Mims, referring to his two Pro Bowl selections in his first two years in the National Football League. "I'm excited." Without question, his contributions as a return specialist can't be denied. However, fantasy managers hope he'll make more noise for his accomplishments on the receiving end. The 23-year-old looked better in his sophomore campaign, finishing with 39 receptions for 503 yards and six touchdowns. The Broncos added J.K. Dobbins and Evan Engram this offseason, two players who will command attention from second-year signal-caller Bo Nix. Courtland Sutton is still on the roster and is coming off his first 1,000-yard receiving season since 2019. With that said, it's still reasonable to assume Mims could remain involved and improve even more this season, so he'll be worth considering in the later rounds of fantasy drafts.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie first-round wide receiver Emeka Egbuka is expected to have a big role in the offense in his first year in the NFL, especially with Chris Godwin recovering from ankle surgery, according to ESPN's Jenna Laine. Egbuka is already helping the Bucs stretch the field horizontally and has looked like a running back at times while showing up in the short passing game. However, the 22-year-old from Ohio State has also made big plays down the field during offseason practices. "The thing that sticks out is how cerebral he is," quarterback Baker Mayfield said. "He's so smart. Right now, I think we could plug-and-play him at every [wide] receiver spot; he understands the offense that well. That's just him being a pro already." Egbuka is extremely attractive in dynasty/keeper leagues, but his redraft fantasy value in 2025 could depend on whether injuries in front of him open up more opportunities.
