• Broncos' Marvin Mims: One grab in loss

  2D ago • By RotoWire

  Mims secured one of his two targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 13-6 loss to the Steelers. Mims had another quiet game in Week 2, playing just nine of the Broncos' 61 offensive snaps against the Steelers. It appears the second-year wideout's involvement in the Denver's offense is not a priority for head coach Sean Payton, even though the Broncos are desperate for offensive playmaking. Mims is a speedster who can stretch the field, but rookie quarterback Bo Nix struggled to push the ball down the field in his first two regular season starts. The 22-year-old will continue to be difficult to trust for fantasy purposes when the Broncos visit the Buccaneers in Week 3.

• Broncos' Marvin Mims: Targeted once against Seahawks

  10D ago • By RotoWire

  Mims failed to secure his lone target in Sunday's 26-20 loss to the Seahawks. Mims was a complete non-factor on offense Sunday, instead making his only contributions on special teams as a returner. The second-year wideout returned five punts for 47 yards and three kickoffs for 69 yards. Mims' lack of involvement in the passing attack carried over from his rookie season, in which head coach Sean Payton did not utilize him consistently. The speedster played just 12 of Denver's 69 offensive snaps, so his usage will need to come up if he can be considered for fantasy purposes. Mims will get his next chance to make an impact offensively when the Broncos host the Steelers in Week 2.

• Broncos' Marvin Mims: Catches eye of coach

  08/02/2024 • By RotoWire

  Coach Sean Payton noted Friday that Mims is "doing well" in training camp, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports. With Jerry Jeudy (knee) having been traded to the Browns this offseason, targets that don't go to top wideout Courtland Sutton are up for grabs. With that in mind, Mims -- who logged a 22/377/1 receiving line in 16 regular-season games in 2023 as a second-round rookie -- has a prime opportunity to see an uptick in production in his second year as a pro. Also in the mix to fill the void created by Jeudy's departure are free-agent addition Josh Reynolds, veteran Tim Patrick and 2024 fourth-rounder Troy Franklin, but according as Cecil Lammey of denversports.com Mims' speed and big-play ability from either the slot or outside should give him an opportunity to carve out a key role in Denver's offense alongside Sutton and Reynolds in three-WR sets.

• Broncos' Marvin Mims: Feels better in second offseason

  05/31/2024 • By RotoWire

  Mims said things are going "a lot smoother" for him in his second NFL offseason, Nick Kosmider of The Athletic reports. In addition to having a much better understanding of Sean Payton's offense, Mims mentioned that he's "as healthy as I've been in a long time." The 2023 second-round pick was limited by hamstring injuries last spring and summer, though that didn't stop him from having a big impact early in the season, including four receptions of 38 or more yards and a kick-return TD within the first four weeks. While Mims remained effective on special teams apart from a pair of lost fumbles, he had only 135 receiving yards on 22 targets in his 12 appearances after Week 4. The NFL's new kickoff rules figure to make Mims even more important for Denver's special teams this year, and he should also be part of a competition for the No. 2 receiver job opposite Courtland Sutton. If not Mims, it'll likely be Josh Reynolds, Troy Franklin or Tim Patrick (Achilles) stepping up as the No. 2 receiver, though a rotation also is possible.

• Broncos' Marvin Mims: Stock on rise after Jeudy trade

  03/09/2024 • By RotoWire

  Mims projects to be the team's No. 2 target after Jerry Jeudy was traded to the Browns on Saturday, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports. Head coach Sean Payton made a point of mentioning his affinity for Mims after the Broncos selected the Oklahoma product in the second round of last year's draft despite not having any obvious need at wide receiver with Courtland Sutton and Jeudy on the roster. That hype quickly faded, as Mims amounted to more of a deep-ball specialist when the aforementioned duo was both healthy, but the soon-to-be 22-year-old will have plenty of time to succeed in the offense this season with Saturday's trade confirmed. Mims' success will obviously depend on who ultimately takes over as the Broncos' next signal caller, but it's unclear if the team will lean toward a rookie or build around one of the few established veterans expected to be on the open market come the new league year.
