Marvin Mims Jr. News
Saturday, March 7, 6:22 AM
Denver Broncos wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. improved as a pass-catcher in his second NFL season in 2024, when he caught 39 of his 52 targets for 503 yards and six touchdowns in 17 regular-season games. But the 23-year-old former second-rounder out of Oklahoma regressed in Year 3 in 2025, finishing with 37 catches on 51 targets for a career-low 322 yards and just one touchdown in 15 regular-season games. Mims did pace the Broncos' pass-catchers in their AFC Championship loss to the New England Patriots, but more often than not last year, he was the odd-man out in the passing attack behind Courtland Sutton, Troy Franklin, and rookie Pat Bryant. Even tight end Evan Engram finished with more yardage than Mims in 2025. Mims has big-play abilities and is a two-time Pro Bowler on special teams, but on offense, he's likely to be inconsistent again in 2026 with limited playing time.

Matthew Golden News
Tuesday, February 17, 9:14 AM
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Matthew Golden had a disappointing first year in the NFL in 2025 after he was taken with the 23rd overall pick out of Texas. The 22-year-old caught 29 passes for 361 yards and no touchdowns in 14 regular-season games on just 44 targets. It was surprising that he had so few targets, especially with tight end Tucker Kraft tearing his ACL in Week 9. The Athletic's Matt Schneidman expects Golden "to be a much bigger part of the game plan next season" in his sophomore season. It would be premature to expect Golden to be above Christian Watson or Jayden Reed in the pecking order, but Schneidman "wouldn't hesitate to use him over Dontayvion Wicks." Romeo Doubs is expected to depart in free agency, opening up a big role in the passing attack for Golden. Fantasy managers in dynasty/keeper leagues shouldn't sell low on him, and he could end up being a nice value pick in redraft fantasy leagues this fall.
