Marvin Mims Jr. News
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.

Xavier Legette News
Tuesday, June 16, 8:05 AM
It didn't look good for wide receiver Xavier Legette when the Carolina Panthers drafted University of Tennessee wideout Chris Brazzell II in the third round this year. However, teammates and coaches have indicated that Legette "might be figuring out some things" after he struggled with drops and other "mishaps" in his first two seasons, according to Joseph Person of The Athletic. Quarterback Bryce Young has also said he's having "next-level conversations" with Legette about routes, play concepts, and coverages. "From the minute he's gotten here, he's 100 miles an hour," head coach Dave Canales said. "He's putting in the time in the playbook. He's busting his butt on the field, working on little technical skills." The 25-year-old former first-rounder in 2024 out of the University of South Carolina lost around eight pounds in the offseason and worked to "bulletproof" his hamstring. It sounds like he knows he's a player who is running out of chances. It remains to be seen if Legette's hard work will pay off, but there's no guarantee he'll return to WR2 duties in 2026 while he battles for targets with Brazzell and Jalen Coker. In 12-team leagues, Legette will go undrafted this fall.
