Mims is expected to compete with Troy Franklin and Pat Bryant for the No. 3 receiver role in Denver this season following the addition of Jaylen Waddle via trade from Miami. Courtland Sutton is also ahead of Mims on the depth chart, and it's hard to envision Mims being a quality Fantasy option when everyone is healthy. He is only worth drafting with a late-round flier in leagues that reward points for special teams since Mims is vital for the Broncos in that role. In 2025, Mims had 25 kickoff returns for 658 yards and 29 punt returns for 452 yards and one touchdown. As a receiver, Mims had 37 catches for 322 yards and one touchdown on 51 targets and 12 carries for 78 yards and a touchdown. Waddle and Sutton should lead the Broncos in targets, meaning Mims, Franklin and Bryant will fight for scraps. Franklin will likely win the No. 3 job, but Mims can still make an occasional splash play given his speed. That said, Fantasy managers will probably only be able to use him in most formats if Waddle or Sutton miss time due to injury.

Broncos' Marvin Mims: Not practicing Monday
Rotowire
Mims (foot) was not spotted at the Broncos' practice Monday, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.
Mims suffered a bruised foot in the team's preseason finale against the Vikings on Friday, and he doesn't appear to be ready to return to practice quite yet. The Broncos are two weeks away from their regular-season opener against the Chiefs on Monday, Sept. 14, and the wide receiver will have a few more chances to return to practice this week.

Broncos' Marvin Mims: Dealing with foot contusion
Rotowire
Head coach Sean Payton told reporters that Mims bruised his foot during the Broncos' 34-6 preseason win over the Vikings on Friday, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports.
Mims sustained the injury early in the first quarter and was listed as questionable to return after going to the locker room, but he didn't end up taking another snap in Friday's exhibition contest. It doesn't appear to be a serious injury, but his practice participation over the coming weeks will determine whether he'll suit up for Denver's Week 1 clash against Kansas City on Monday, Sept. 14.

Broncos' Marvin Mims: Goes to locker room
Rotowire
Mims (foot) went to the locker room during the first quarter of Friday's preseason game against the Vikings and is questionable to return, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.
Mims appeared to sustain the injury while attempting a leaping reception early in the first quarter. He was able to walk off the field under his own power but was directed to the blue medical tent before going into the locker room. Mims will undergo further tests to determine the severity of his foot injury, but it wouldn't be surprising if the fourth-year wideout was held out for the rest of Friday's exhibition contest.

Broncos' Marvin Mims: Might play Friday
Rotowire
Mims (undisclosed) is in uniform ahead of the Broncos' preseason game against the Packers on Friday, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports.
Mims has been working through an unspecified injury, limiting him to side work during training camp practices. He's on the field in uniform, but it's unclear whether he will actually play in Friday's exhibition contest. If Mims does play, then he'll likely be limited to one or two offensive series and see minimal return work on kickoffs and punts.

Broncos' Marvin Mims: Limited to side work Monday
Rotowire
Mims (undisclosed) participated in stretch and drills before working to the side of Monday's training camp practice, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.
Mims continues to work through an unspecified injury, which prevented him from playing in the Broncos' preseason opener against the Falcons on Friday. It's unclear whether he'll play in any of Denver's final two exhibition games, but there's no indication that Mims will miss the start of the regular season. The 2023 second-rounder is expected to serve as the Broncos' primary returner on kickoffs and punts while operating in a rotational role at wide receiver behind Jaylen Waddle (leg) and Courtland Sutton, with fellow wideouts Troy Franklin, Pat Bryant and Lil'Jordan Humphrey also competing for snaps on offense.

Broncos' Marvin Mims: Doesn't play vs. Atlanta
Rotowire
Mims (undisclosed) did not play in the Broncos' 27-7 preseason win over the Falcons on Friday.
Mims is working through an undisclosed injury and joined fellow wideouts Jaylen Waddle (leg) and Michael Bandy on the sidelines for Friday's preseason opener. Once he's cleared to practice fully, Mims will resume competing against Pat Bryant and Troy Franklin for the WR3 role behind Waddle and Courtland Sutton. Even if he's relegated to WR4 or WR5, Mims should still see the field plenty as a returner on kickoffs and punts.

Broncos' Marvin Mims: Absent from Saturday's practice
Rotowire
Mims (undisclosed) is not participating in Saturday's training camp practice, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.
Mims appeared to sustain the injury while running a go route during Friday's practice, though the exact nature of his injury is unclear. He'll join Jaylen Waddle (leg) on the sidelines Saturday. With the duo sidelined, more first-team offense reps will be available for Troy Franklin, Pat Bryant, Lil'Jordan Humphrey and Michael Bandy. Tyler Badie, RJ Harvey and Bandy should also see some additional work as returners in special teams drills due to Mims' absence.

Broncos' Marvin Mims: Exits practice Friday
Rotowire
Mims (undisclosed) left Friday's practice with an apparent injury, Nick Kosmider of The Athletic reports.
With Jaylen Waddle dealing with a muscle strain and Mims having left practice Friday, the Broncos' top healthy WRs at the moment are Courtland Sutton, Troy Franklin and Pat Bryant. Following the high-profile offseason addition of Waddle to work alongside Sutton, however, Mims' path to steady volume is murky as he competes with Franklin and Bryant for slotting behind the top duo.

Broncos' Marvin Mims: Paces pass catchers in playoff loss
Rotowire
Mims brought in four of six targets for 62 yards and returned three punts for eight yards in the Broncos' 10-7 loss to the Patriots in Sunday's AFC Championship Game.
Mims and the Broncos looked like they were on the way to a productive afternoon when the speedster hauled in a 52-yard pass from Jarrett Stidham on Denver's second possession, setting up a touchdown pass to Courtland Sutton two plays later. Mims did continue to feature as a key part of the air attack the remainder of the day in the absence of Troy Franklin and Pat Bryant -- the latter exiting the game in the second quarter -- due to hamstring issues, but a second-half snowstorm significantly comprised both teams' offenses. Mims finished as the co-leader in receptions and targets while setting the pace in receiving yards, capping off a productive two-game postseason run that also saw him generate an 8-93-1 line in the divisional-round overtime victory against the Bills.

Broncos' Marvin Mims: Disappointing season in 2025
Rotowire
Mims ended the 2025 regular season with 37 receptions on 51 targets for 322 yards and a touchdown, adding 12 rushes for 78 yards and a score across 15 games. He also scored one punt-return touchdown.
Mims entered the year with high hopes to take a step forward in Denver's passing attack, yet the speedy wide receiver never became a significant part of the Broncos' offensive plans this season. The third-year wideout's 322 receiving yards marked a career low for the Oklahoma product. With teammate Courtland Sutton operating as the Broncos' unquestioned No. 1 receiver and both Troy Franklin and Pat Bryant emerging into prominent roles this season, Mims was left very few targets to have an impact offensively. Many of his looks came close to the line of scrimmage, with his limited downfield targets capping his overall upside. Mims is set to enter the final year of his rookie contract in 2026 before becoming an unrestricted free agent in 2027. The 23-year-old will likely continue to struggle to produce consistently for fantasy purposes next season, especially with the development of the team's other young receivers within head coach Sean Payton's offense.

Broncos' Marvin Mims: Four touches in Week 16
Rotowire
Mims caught all three of his targets for 26 yards and rushed once for three yards in Sunday's 34-20 loss to the Jaguars.
Mims continued to play a depth role in the Broncos' wide-receiver corps, playing 32 percent of Denver's offensive snaps in the contest. The Broncos' coaching staff makes it a point to get the ball in the third-year wideout's hands most games, but his opportunities are often in the short passing game and limit his ability to have impact performances each week. Mims has recorded multiple receptions in all but four games this season while also handling at least one carry in all but three contests. Despite his consistent involvement, the 23-year-old has recorded just 32 catches for 302 yards and a touchdown, adding 12 carries for 78 yards and a score. Heading into a Week 17 matchup against the Chiefs, the Oklahoma product cannot be trusted for meaningful fantasy production.

Broncos' Marvin Mims: Back in action
Rotowire
Mims was dealing with a stinger but has returned to Sunday's matchup versus the Packers, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports.
Mims is back in action after being banged up earlier in the game. The 23-year-old will resume his role as the team's punt returner and as a depth receiver.

Broncos' Marvin Mims: Exits game Sunday
Rotowire
Mims (concussion) is questionable to return to Sunday's matchup versus Green Bay, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.
Mims is currently being evaluated for a concussion, casting doubt on his status for the remainder of the game. If the 23-year-old ends up being unable to return, Riley Moss would likely fill in as the team's punt returner.

Broncos' Marvin Mims: Scores 48-yard punt return TD
Rotowire
Mims caught his lone target for five yards and rushed once for two yards in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Raiders. He also returned one punt for a 48-yard touchdown and recorded two kickoff returns for 39 yards.
Mims was unable to have much of an impact on offense against the Raiders, playing just 27 percent of Denver's offense snaps. Instead, the 23-year-old wideout made a major contribution on special teams, scoring his first punt return touchdown of the season. With Mims having such a limited role in the Broncos' offense, however, the third-year receiver remains extremely difficult to trust for fantasy purposes heading into a Week 15 matchup against the Packers.

Broncos' Marvin Mims: Minimal production in Week 13
Rotowire
Mims caught both of his targets for eight yards and rushed once for nine yards in Sunday's 27-26 overtime win over the Commanders.
Mims was unable to get much going with his three touches Sunday, as the 23-year-old wideout was not used downfield in Denver's passing attack. The third-year receiver played just 28 of the Broncos' 70 offensive snaps, operating behind Courtland Sutton (57), Pat Bryant (49) and Troy Franklin (37). Mims has played over 50 percent of snaps just twice this season and has not hit that snap share since Week 7. The Oklahoma product should not be trusted for fantasy purposes when the Broncos visit the Raiders in Week 14.

Broncos' Marvin Mims: Another full practice
Rotowire
Mims (concussion) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
Mims will need to gain full clearance from the concussion protocol, including from an independent neurologist, in order to be eligible to suit up for Sunday's game against the Chiefs. Having begun Week 11 prep with back-to-back full practices is a sign that he's nearing a return to action, though. Mims has missed Denver's last two games due to a concussion suffered Week 8 versus Dallas.

Broncos' Marvin Mims: Full participant in practice
Rotowire
Mims (concussion) was a full practice participant Wednesday.
It's his first full practice since suffering a concussion in the Week 8 win over Dallas. Mims is trending in the right direction for Sunday's matchup with Kansas City, but he'll likely be a part-time player behind Courtland Sutton and Troy Franklin, with Pat Bryant and Lil'Jordan Humphrey also competing for snaps/routes.

Broncos' Marvin Mims: Won't play Thursday
Rotowire
Mims (concussion) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against Las Vegas.
The Broncos listed Mims as a limited practice participant Tuesday and Wednesday, hinting at a degree of practice and potential return for Week 11 against Kansas City on Nov. 16. With Mims out for the past game and a half, Troy Franklin and Pat Bryant took on more snaps alongside Courtland Sutton. It'll likely be the same story Thursday night, with Trent Sherfield also having a role as the No. 4 receiver.

Broncos' Marvin Mims: Sleeper WRs
Rotowire
Franklin just had three catches for 19 yards and a touchdown on 10 targets in Week 7 against the Giants. Mims has scored at least 15.8 PPR points in two of his past four games, and this passing attack has the chance to be dominant against Dallas at home in this matchup.

Broncos' Marvin Mims: Doesn't practice Thursday
Rotowire
Mims (concussion) remained a non-participant at Thursday's practice, Zac Stevens of DNVR Sports reports.
Mims will need to return to practice Friday to have any chance of clearing the NFL's five-step concussion protocol prior to Sunday's game against the Texans. If Mims sits out against Houston, Riley Moss could take over as Denver's punt returner, while more snaps would be available for Pat Bryant and Trent Sherfield at wide receiver behind Courtland Sutton and Troy Franklin.
