Who Should I Start? Marvin Mims Jr. or Rashid Shaheed

There is a new pecking order among Denver Broncos wide receivers after the team acquired Jaylen Waddle from the Miami Dolphins last week for three draft picks. Waddle could end up being the Broncos' WR1, ahead of Courtland Sutton, and his presence will definitely make playing time and targets hard to come by for Marvin Mims Jr. The Athletic's Nick Kosmider writes that the Broncos "aren't in any hurry to make a trade to thin the room," though, which includes Sutton, Troy Franklin, Pat Bryant, and Mims. Injuries thinned the team's WR room late last year, so they "want to be more equipped for those potential setbacks." Although Waddle and Mims may have similar skill sets and roles on offense, Mims' ability to run the football out of the backfield, be a Pro Bowl return man on special teams, and operate as a big-play threat on offense "makes him a different weapon" than Waddle. Teams could be calling about a player like Mims, but Kosmider doesn't think a team with Super Bowl aspirations will pull the trigger. In dynasty and redraft leagues, Mims' stock will take a notable hit if he stays in Denver, however.
