Mims

The former Miami (FL) receiver stays with his quarterback, albeit a beat away from actual NFL playing time on the practice squad. The Titans also added WR Mason Kinsey, WR James Proche II, QB Trevor Siemian, OL Andrew Rupcich, DT Isaiah Raikes, DE Ali Gaye, RB Jordan Mims, DB Kendell Brooks, DT Cam Horsley, RB Jermar Jefferson, DB Amani Oruwariye, DE Carlos Watkins, TE Thomas Odukoya and C Corey Levin to their practice squad.

The details of the contract haven’t been leaked yet, but a two-year deal suggests Mims is now the favorite for the RB3 job in Tennessee. Mims entered the league as a UDFA with the Bills in 2023 but was cut at the end of training camp. He landed on the Saints’ practice squad and has been called up as a depth piece several times over the past two years. Mims rushed 20 times for 70 yards and added 12 catches for 71 yards in 11 appearances last season. He will likely see most of his work on special teams with the Titans unless something happens to Tony Pollard or Tyjae Spears.

The Pats also worked out former Bengals running back Trayveon Williams. Mims ran 20 times for 70 yards in 2024 while adding 12 catches for 71 yards through the air. He also got some run on special teams. The Patriots are looking for some extra depth at running back, but there isn’t room for another fantasy-relevant option behind Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson.

Mims ends his season with 70 yards on the ground and 71 yards through the air. The 25-year-old only got that much playing time because no one in the Saints’ backfield was able to stay healthy. He’ll likely battle for a spot next year with either New Orleans or a club that’s looking to add another body to their backfield.

To be fair to Miller, the entire offense struggled through what seemed to be insurmountable deficiencies while playing with a backup rookie quarterback and without their top four skill position players. Miller ceded most of the second half work to Jordan Mims with the team taking a 21-0 deficit into the break. Mims ended up catching 5-of-8 targets for 16 yards while adding 16 yards on four carries. It remains unclear if any of the team’s injured players will play again this season, but things don’t currently look good in New Orleans.

Jamaal Williams is listed as doubtful with a groin issue. Jordan Mims will likely be called up from the practice squad to serve as Alvin Kamara’s backup this week. Mims is an interesting add in deep leagues but doesn’t hold any standalone value for Week 9.

Robinson continues to make the rounds, hoping to find his way on a 53-man roster. The former UDFA, who impressed with 1,414 yards from scrimmage and 10 touchdowns as a rookie, has spent time with five different teams in less than two years and is dangerously close to running out of chances. Second-year running back Jordan Mims, who rushed 25 times for 108 yards this preseason, could be kept on the Saints’ final roster with Robinson now cut.

Mims concludes the NFL preseason averaging 0.28 missed tackles forced per rushing attempt and seven missed tackles forced overall. The Saints’ running back depth chart is shaky at the moment and Mims may have done enough to earn a roster spot.

After starting running back Ronnie Rivers was a surprise scratch, Mims (6'0/205) took the reign and dominated the Miners from start to finish. After scoring two short-yardage touchdowns, Mims caught a 22-yard touchdown on a perfectly executed wheel route. He capped off his dominating performance by rushing five times for 31 yards to seal the deal after a UTEP fumble. On the season, Mims tallied 1,034 total yards and 10 total touchdowns.

Mims (6'0/205) did most of his damage through the air in this one, as he took a screen pass from quarterback Jake Haener for a 78-yards and later caught another four yard pass late in the third quarter to put the Bulldogs up 34-7. Mims has contributed both on the ground and in the passing game for Fresno State this season, sporting a rushing line of 93/531/4, and a receivingh line of 18/204/2. He and the Bulldogs will return to action on November 25th at San Jose State.
