Marvin

Mims

He also noted that Coleman’s touches were explosive. It’s hard to sit here with much certainty about what looks to be a three-headed Broncos running back room where every back has their niche, but Coleman probably enters Week 8 as the favorite of the three to crack 10 touches. Payton added, for the 17th time since he became Broncos coach, that he needed to get more touches for Marvin Mims on offense. We’ll believe that when we see it.

Mims also added three rushing yards on his lone carry. Troy Franklin and Mims split the WR3 role in this game, but the former failed to reel in either of his two targets. Mims, on the other hand, picked up 47 yards on a catch-and-run that saw him juke an Arizona defender out of his cleats. With Jaylen Waddle banged up, the WR2 role might be up for grabs next week. That would put both Mims and Franklin in the FLEX mix versus Kansas City, though we would look to aim higher on the waiver wire.

Mims also lost a fumble in the loss. Mims has been virtually invisible in the Broncos offense through four games, though that could change if Pat Bryant’s injury proves to be the long-term variety. Even in that case Mims would be nothing more than an ultra deep league option.

Mims aggravated his foot injury back in Week 1 and has been inactive on game day since. The Broncos’ volatile performer is back, but is not on the FLEX radar in 12-team formats.

Mims went down with a foot injury in Week 1 and hasn’t played or practiced since. A full session on Wednesday means he’s good to go for Week 4. He could push Troy Franklin for the WR4 job, but his biggest contributions will come in the return game.

Mims will be inactive for the second consecutive week while Humphrey’s presence is not required with the four receivers ahead of his on the depth chart active. Defensive lineman Sai’Vion Jones will have to wait to at least Week 4 to return.

Mims re-aggravated his preseason foot injury in Week 1 and did not play in Week 2. He was able to get three limited sessions in ahead of Week 3, but has no fantasy value at this point in Denver’s deep wideout room. He’d provide considerable real-life value as a punt returner.

Mims has a chance to return this week, but his availability is not yet guaranteed. Regardless, he is not fantasy-relevant in 12-team leagues. He more so functions as a slight target share problem for other Broncos pass catchers.

Mims is still working his way back after aggravating his foot injury in Week 1 against the Chiefs. Although his early participation is a good sign for his Week 3 availability, the Broncos will likely play things extra cautiously this time around.

It sure seems like Mims aggravated his preexisting foot injury in Week 1 against the Chiefs. Mims does not need to be rostered in 12-team leagues, though his absence does slightly improve the rest of the receiving corps’ outlook.
