Marvin Mims Jr. Ruled Out for Week 2

Friday, September 18, 1:45 PM

Denver Broncos wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. (foot) missed practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 2 at home against the Jacksonville Jaguars, according to the team. Mims' fantasy stock continues to fall early in 2026, which should not be a surprise after the Broncos added speedy receiver Jaylen Waddle in a blockbuster offseason trade. The 24-year-old played only nine snaps on offense in the Week 1 season-opening loss to the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs on Monday night and was not targeted at all on a night in which the Broncos' offense was punchless. At this point, Mims is not going to have much of a role on offense unless a player or two ahead of him on the depth chart miss time with injury. Where Denver will feel Mims' absence the most on Sunday against Jacksonville will be on special teams in the return game. In Monday night's loss, Waddle, Courtland Sutton, and Pat Bryant operated as the team's top three wideouts. With Mims out, Troy Franklin will be the clear WR4 in Week 2.

KaVontae Turpin News

KaVontae Turpin Limited to Minimal Role in Cowboys Offense

Saturday, September 19, 5:27 AM

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver KaVontae Turpin had a quiet game in his team's Week 1 loss to the New York Giants, recording one catch for eight yards on one target. The 30-year-old has had moments of fantasy relevance in a gadget role in recent seasons, recording at least 25 catches and 15 carries in both 2024 and 2025. However, Turpin was on the field for just eight of the Cowboys' snaps on offense against the Giants. In addition to the star wide receiver duo of CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens, Cowboys wideout Ryan Flournoy has established himself as the clear WR3 in Dallas. As a result, Turpin appears likely to make his greatest impact on special teams, at least to begin the year. Barring an injury to at least one of the wide receivers ahead of him on the depth chart, Turpin can remain off of fantasy radars.
