Who Should I Start? Marvin Mims or Kayshon Boutte

Sunday, January 12, 4:21 PM

Denver Broncos wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. had a quiet showing during their wild-card loss to the Buffalo Bills, as he caught just two of his four targets for a mere 12 yards. He also added one yard on two rushing attempts. The Broncos offense has trouble finding their footing after the first quarter, hindering Mims' output. His four targets were the second-most on the team. This was a disappointing showing for the sophomore wideout as he began to enjoy a late-season breakout. Over the final five games, Mims averaged a strong 17.5 PPR points per game with 68.2 yards per game. Over the final two weeks of the regular season, Mims tallied four touchdowns and 77.0 yards per game. The Oklahoma product will look to find more consistency as he enters his third professional season.

New England Patriots wide receiver Kayshon Boutte caught all seven of his targets for 117 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's Week 18 win over the Buffalo Bills. Boutte finishes 2024 as New England's best receiver. Despite a slow start to the year, he finished his second season with 43 catches, 589 yards, and three touchdowns through 15 games. He has played at least two-thirds of the offensive snaps in each of his last 13 contests, developing into New England's No. 1 option in the passing game. His role atop the depth chart is far from assured heading into 2025, especially with a new coaching regime on the way. However, Boutte has shown that he deserves to be involved, even if that's merely as a deep threat on the perimeter. He continues to trend upward in dynasty leagues, and he should also sneak into the back end of fantasy drafts next summer.
