MarvinMims Jr.

News: 5 days agoMims caught both of his targets for 113 yards and a touchdown while rushing twice for 10 yards in Sunday's 35-33 loss to Washington.

Spin: Mims wound up breaking the century mark while finishing as Denver's leading receiver despite seeing just two targets all game. The second-round rookie saw the same number of targets last week, but he turned those into just nine yards. The stark contrast should warn fantasy managers not to get too excited after this huge game, as Courtland Sutton and Jerry Jeudy both started for the Broncos and had more targets than the rookie. That said, if Mims were to carve out a larger role on offense via an injury or depth chart change, he would stand to gain significant fantasy value. Mims' next chance to impress will come against the Dolphins next Sunday.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Mims was selected in the second round of April's draft. The Oklahoma product was an explosive vertical target for the Sooners, ranking first in this year's rookie class in yards per target (13.2) during his 37 games, as well as near the top in YPR (19.5) and aDOT (16.0). Mims can align all over the field, showed well at the combine (4.38 40-yard dash, 39.5-inch vertical, 129-inch broad jump) and is one of the youngest WRs in this class. Mims' future may be bright, but early-career targets will be tricky with Jerry Jeudy and Courtland Sutton ahead of him on the WR depth chart, as well as Greg Dulcich and Javonte Williams set for major roles in the passing game. Mims' primary value is in dynasty, though deeper leaguers can consider him with a late pick in season-long formats.
