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.

Jayden Reed, Packers Agree on Three-Year Extension

Friday, April 24, 2:05 PM

Wide receiver Jayden Reed and the Green Bay Packers agreed to a three-year contract extension on Friday worth $50.25 million in new money, including $20 million guaranteed, agents Drew Rosenhaus and Ian Grutman told Adam Schefter of ESPN. The 25-year-old former second-rounder (50th overall) in 2023 out of Michigan State had 119 receptions on 169 targets for 1,650 yards and 14 receiving touchdowns in 33 games in his first two NFL seasons for the Packers, adding three rushing touchdowns. Reed only played in seven games in 2025 due to injuries, though, and finished with a 19-207-1 line during the regular season. He's now locked in for several more seasons and will be a big part of Green Bay's offense in 2026 alongside Christian Watson and Matthew Golden. If healthy, Reed will have even more fantasy upside as a WR3/flex target with Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks out of town. Reed might not have the big-play abilities down the field like Watson and Golden, but he's more versatile and has proven to have a nose for the end zone in his first 40 NFL games.
