Marvin Mims Jr. News
Saturday, August 8, 8:18 AM
Denver Broncos wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. (undisclosed) pulled up on a go route in training camp practice on Friday and is not on the field on Saturday, according to Zac Stevens of DNVR Sports. It's unclear exactly what the specific nature of Mims' injury is, but it will keep him out for at least another day. New pass-catcher Jaylen Waddle (leg) is also nursing an injury from this week and remains on the sidelines on Saturday, which will give more opportunities to Troy Franklin, Pat Bryant, and Lil'Jordan Humphrey with the Broncos resting veteran Courtland Sutton. The 24-year-old Mims could be one of the odd men out in Denver's suddenly crowded WR picture in 2026 after the addition of Waddle this offseason, and Mims himself acknowledged that this might be his last year with the team. He's a big-play threat (12.3 yards per catch in three seasons) and was also a Pro Bowler in his first two years in the league on special teams as a kick returner. The former second-rounder from the University of Oklahoma had a career-best 503 yards and six touchdowns on 39 catches in 2024, but he fell to a 37-322-1 line in 15 regular-season games last year, and Mims' stock continues to fall. Mims profiles best as a big-play wideout in best-ball formats.

Ted Hurst III News
Thursday, August 6, 6:25 AM
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers selected Georgia State wide receiver Ted Hurst in the third round of the 2026 NFL Draft, potentially eyeing a big-bodied long-term replacement for franchise legend Mike Evans. In recent days, the Buccaneers' receiver depth chart has been thinned by injury, and Hurst has taken advantage of the opportunity to build chemistry with quarterback Baker Mayfield. With Emeka Egbuka, Chris Godwin Jr., and Jalen McMillan all absent from the team's last practice, and Tez Johnson exiting early with a groin strain, Hurst became Mayfield's go-to target according to team staff writer Brianna Dix, and head coach Todd Bowles spoke on their growing rapport. "Baker trusts him," he said of the rookie. "He knows he goes where he needs to go with the football. Ted was open at the right time, so we know he's got a good vertical, and he's got very good hands." The crowded depth chart in Tampa could still make consistent fantasy viability difficult to come by, but at RotoBaller's dynasty WR72, Hurst is a player well worth stashing with a future that will only be made brighter if he can continue to stack productive days in his first training camp.
