Marvin Mims Jr. Heading into Final Season in Denver?

Wednesday, June 24, 9:10 AM

Denver Broncos wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. acknowledged to DNVR Sports' Zac Stevens that the 2026 season could be his final year in Denver. "Sometimes I'm not in the most fortunate situations. Sometimes I am a little irritated with my situation, but at the end of the day, I'm blessed to be where I am today, standing right here where I am. I love Denver. I love the city, I love the fans, love the atmosphere, love my teammates, love my coaches. So, with this possibly being my last year, I'm just going to enjoy it to the fullest, going through it carefree and just play my hardest because we have a real chance to do something extremely special," Mims said. The 24-year-old former second-round pick (63rd overall) in 2023 out of the University of Oklahoma is entering the fourth and final year of his rookie deal in 2026, and the Broncos are projected to have just $11.7 million in salary cap space next year. Mims was a Pro Bowler on special teams in each of his first two years in the NFL, but after recording 503 receiving yards and six touchdowns in 17 regular-season games at wideout in Year 2, he took a step back in 2025 with a 37-322-1 line in 15 regular-season games. After the addition of pass-catcher Jaylen Waddle via trade this offseason, Mims' path to fantasy relevance got even more difficult. He should go undrafted in all 12-team fantasy leagues this fall.

KaVontae Turpin Unlikely to Have Significant Offensive Role

Friday, July 10, 10:54 AM

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver KaVontae Turpin established himself as an elite returner this past season. He earned himself a trip to the Pro Bowl with his excellent work on special teams. He's valuable in leagues that count return yardage, but is unlikely to have much value outside of that. Turpin finished with 26 receptions, 396 receiving yards, and two touchdowns across 15 games last season. The Cowboys have brought in some competition for the third and fourth wideout roles. Turpin might get lost in the shuffle offensively, but should remain a star in the return game.
