Marvin Mims Jr. News
Sunday, May 3, 11:59 AM
After his encouraging close to the 2024 season, Denver Broncos wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. was one of the buzzier names in fantasy circles entering 2025. However, the 24-year-old remained siloed to a limited role in his team's offense, recording just 37 receptions for 322 yards and one touchdown on 51 targets across 15 games. Heading into 2026, Mims Jr. now appears to be buried on the Broncos wide receiver depth chart. Denver acquired star wideout Jaylen Waddle from the Miami Dolphins early in the offseason, adding to a deep group of wideouts that also includes Courtland Sutton, Troy Franklin, and Pat Bryant. While Mims Jr.'s spot on the Broncos roster is likely safe due to his ability to contribute as a returner and a big-play gadget piece, his path to fantasy relevance may require a change in scenery. In dynasty formats, Mims Jr.'s stock is fading entering 2026.

Xavier Worthy News
Thursday, May 28, 11:14 AM
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy (shoulder) is wearing a yellow no-contact jersey during OTA practices this week after having surgery in the offseason to fully repair the torn labrum in his left shoulder, according to sports reporter Matt Foster. The 23-year-old speedster injured his shoulder in the Week 1 regular-season opener in 2025 and missed the following two games as a result. The former 28th overall pick in 2024 out of the University of Texas played in 14 games (13 starts) in his sophomore campaign and took a step back, catching 42 of his 73 targets for 532 yards and only one touchdown. Worthy has elite speed on the football field, but as long as Rashee Rice is active, he's been a distant second on KC's depth chart. His disappointing Year 2 performance has dropped him to No. 52 in RotoBaller's 2026 WR rankings, but with better health and Rice potentially facing another suspension to begin the year, Worthy's stock could be back on the rise in the coming months. Tight end Travis Kelce, now 37, also can't be relied on as much for a big role in the passing game.
