Who Should I Start? Marvin Mims Jr. or Xavier Worthy

Monday, December 8, 3:13 PM

Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton said on Monday that he wants to get wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. more involved in the offense, according to Zac Stevens of DNVR Sports. "We got to find more touches on the offensive side of the ball. And we'll do that," Payton said, adding that the coaching staff talked about it in a staff meeting. Mims caught his only target in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Las Vegas Raiders, gaining five yards. Although he was barely a factor on offense, Mims still made an impact, returning a punt 48 yards for a touchdown in the first half. The Broncos continue to say that they want to get the 23-year-old big-play threat more involved, but they've failed to do so, as he has only 25 catches for 247 yards and one TD on 35 targets through 14 weeks after he had a 39-503-6 line in 17 regular-season games in 2024. Mims is a threat to score every time he touches the ball, but the volume just has not been there while being behind Courtland Sutton, Troy Franklin, and rookie Pat Bryant on the WR depth chart.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy has often taken a backseat to Rashee Rice and Travis Kelce this season, but this week, he will also have to contend with one of the toughest defenses in the league. Worthy caught four passes for 61 yards and rushed twice for 13 yards in last week's Thanksgiving loss to the Dallas Cowboys. The speedy wideout finished second on the team in receiving yardage, but it should be tougher sledding this week against Houston. The Texans defense has allowed the third-fewest fantasy points to opposing wide receivers this season, which does not bode well for Worthy, given his lower target share. Worthy is ranked WR40 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings, making him a deeper league flex option in Week 14.
