QB Bo Nix connects with WR Marvin Mims Jr. for 93-yard touchdown | Broncos vs. Browns Quarterback Bo Nix finds wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. for a 93-yard touchdown to extend the Broncos' lead over the Browns.

DECEMBER 3 • DENVERBRONCOS.COM

Scores from 93 yards out Mims had three catches (four targets) for 105 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 41-32 win over the Browns.

Impact Mims was the leading receiver for Denver after breaking off a 93-yard touchdown reception in an exciting win on Monday Night Football. The 22-year-old only gained 12 yards on his remaining two receptions, reminding fantasy managers how little the wideout can be involved in this offense. Mims has only been a reserve for Denver in his sophomore season, resulting in a previous game-high of 49 yards in 12 games prior to Monday's output. With a bye week on tap, Mims shouldn't be a top waiver add in Week 14.

DECEMBER 3 • ROTOWIRE

Makes three grabs in win Mims caught three of his five targets for 44 yards, took two carries for negative two yards, and returned a punt for 22 yards during Sunday's 29-19 win at Las Vegas.

Impact Mims only played 16 of the Broncos' 65 offensive snaps in Week 12, but he was still able to get five touches. He now has at least five touches in all of his last three games, but his relegation to a gadget role makes him hard to trust in fantasy lineups when Denver hosts the Browns in Week 13.

WR Marvin Mims Jr. picks up 37 yards on catch-and-run | Broncos at Raiders Quarterback Bo Nix connects with wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. for a 37-yard gain to put Denver's offense in the red zone.

NOVEMBER 25 • DENVERBRONCOS.COM

Scores touchdown in win Mims caught both of his targets for 49 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 38-6 win over the Falcons. He added three carries for four yards.

Impact Though Mims played just 14 of the Broncos' 62 offensive snaps Sunday, the second-year wideout was able to make the most of his opportunities against the Falcons. The 22-year-old's scored his first touchdown of the 2024 campaign on a 12-yard pass from quarterback Bo Nix in the waning moments of the first half. With Mims seeing 12 touches over the past three weeks, his increased usage in Denver's offense is worth monitoring. With that said, the Oklahoma product remains difficult to trust for fantasy purposes as the Broncos head into a Week 12 matchup against the Raiders.

Broncos add new wrinkle to offense with WR Marvin Mims Jr. in backfield In the search to get Marvin Mims Jr. more opportunities on offense, Sean Payton got creative.

NOVEMBER 15 • DENVERPOST.COM

Seven touches in loss Mims caught all four of his targets for 13 yards and rushed three times for 17 yards in Sunday's 16-14 loss to the Chiefs.

Impact Mims' targets, catches and 30 total yards offensive yards were all season highs for the second-year wide receiver. Despite playing just 13 of the Broncos' 58 offensive snaps in the contest, the 22-year-old handled seven total touches in the contest, the most of any Denver wideout. Unfortunately, Mims was unable to turn his opportunities into much fantasy relevant production. The speedster will look to take a step forward in a Week 11 matchup against the Falcons, but his limited snap share should keep him off the fantasy radar.

NOVEMBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

Held catchless in Week 6 Mims failed to record a single reception on three targets in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Chargers.

Impact Though he saw a season-high in targets, Mims was unable to connect with rookie quarterback Bo Nix against the Chargers in Week 6. The second-year speedster continued to see limited usage, playing just 17 of the Broncos' 55 offensive snaps. Heading into a Week 7 matchup against the Saints, Mims is not a reliable fantasy option.

OCTOBER 15 • ROTOWIRE

Two touches in win Mims caught his lone target for seven yards and carried the ball once for 17 yards in Sunday's 34-18 win over the Raiders.

Impact Mims' seven-yard grab Sunday was just his third catch of the season as the second-year wideout continues to play a limited role in Denver's offense. The 22-year-old played just 12 of the Broncos' 63 offensive snaps in the contest, limiting his opportunities to have an impact. Mims is best left off the fantasy radar as the Broncos head into a Week 6 matchup against the Chargers.

OCTOBER 8 • ROTOWIRE

Not targeted against Jets Mims failed to record a single target in Sunday's 10-9 win over the Jets.

Impact Mims played just 10 of the Broncos 61 offensive snaps Sunday, the least of any Denver wideout. Week 4 marked the first time Mims was not targeted by rookie quarterback Bo Nix in the passing game, and through four weeks, the second-year wideout has totaled two catches for 19 yards on four targets. Mims' extremely limited utilization on a struggling offense provides him with little to no fantasy value heading into a Week 5 matchup against the Raiders.

OCTOBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Back on field Sunday Mims (ribs) has returned to Sunday's game against the Jets, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports.

Impact Mims briefly left Sunday's game due to a rib injury, but it's not serious enough to keep him out of action.

SEPTEMBER 29 • ROTOWIRE

Limited involvement in win Mims reeled in his lone target for nine yards in Sunday's 26-7 win over the Buccaneers

Impact Mims continues to be minimally involved in the Broncos' offense, as the speedy wideout has just two catches on four targets for 19 yards through the first three games of the 2024 campaign. The 22-year-old's 16 offensive snaps Sunday were the fewest of any Denver receiver. Mims should be left out of fantasy lineups heading into a Week 4 matchup against the Jets.

SEPTEMBER 23 • ROTOWIRE

One grab in loss Mims secured one of his two targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 13-6 loss to the Steelers.

Impact 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 that can stretch the field, but rookie quarterback Bo Nix is struggling 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.

SEPTEMBER 17 • ROTOWIRE

Renck: If Broncos want Bo Nix to go off, they must free Marvin Mims Jr. in an offense that needs playmakers The idea that receiver Marvin Mims Jr. will never get better than the first month of 2023 is unthinkable and infuriating.

SEPTEMBER 12 • DENVERPOST.COM

Targeted once against Seahawks Mims failed to secure his lone target in Sunday's 26-20 loss to the Seahawks.

Impact 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.

Could see more opportunities Mims is among the candidates to take on a larger role after Denver released Tim Patrick on Tuesday, DNVR Broncos reports.

Impact Patrick, Courtland Sutton and Josh Reynolds took most of the first-team reps this summer, with Sean Payton favoring his tall, veteran receivers over quicker, younger players like Mims and Troy Franklin. Releasing Patrick is probably more about cap space than anything else, but it nonetheless reduces Mims' competition for playing time in his second NFL season. The 2023 second-round pick had four reception of 38 or more yards in Weeks 1-4 last season, but he then managed only 135 receiving yards over 12 subsequent games while topping 32 snaps on offense just once all year.

Could benefit from Patrick release Mims is among the candidates to take on a larger role after Denver released Tim Patrick on Tuesday, DNVR Broncos reports.

Impact Patrick, Courtland Sutton and Josh Reynolds have taken most of the first-team reps this summer, with Sean Payton favoring his tall, veteran receivers over quicker, younger players like Mims and Troy Franklin. Releasing Patrick is probably more about cap space than anything to do with the team's other wide receivers, but it nonetheless reduces Mim's competition for playing time in his second NFL season. The 2023 second-round pick had four reception of 38 or more yards in Weeks 1-4 last season, but he then managed only 135 receiving yards over 12 subsequent games while topping 32 snaps on offense just once all year.

AUGUST 27 • ROTOWIRE

Finds end zone in win Mims caught two of three targets for 17 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-30 preseason win over the Colts.

Impact Mims was on the field for just 17 offensive snaps Sunday, making the most of his opportunities by scoring a touchdown on a one-yard pass from Bo Nix late in the first half. With a strong showing in training camp thus far, the second-year wideout has a chance to take a big step forward in the Denver's offense after a disappointing rookie campaign. The 22-year-old's elite speed make him an intriguing weapon with the potential to take the top off of defenses. With fellow receiver Courtland Sutton firmly atop the depth chart, Mims will likely compete with Josh Reynolds and Tim Patrick for the second spot in the pecking order.
