The Denver Broncos (6-2) will visit the Houston Texans (3-4) in Week 9. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding WR Marvin Mims Jr..
Is Mims Playing in Week 9?
Mims (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday’s game against the Texans.
We’ll continue to monitor the Broncos’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Mims in Week 9?
Marvin Mims caught six of seven targets in the Week 7 win over the Giants, but that seems to be a red herring. He was held without a catch last week against the Cowboys before exiting with a head injury, and given the depth of pass catchers on this roster, I think you’re safe to move on.
There’s single-play upside in this profile, but we are talking about a receiver who has run under 20 routes in three of his past four and has no more than 30 receiving yards in six games this season.
Mims is averaging 7.2 expected PPR points per game this season, not nearly enough for me to hold through an injury that could well open the door for talented young receivers behind him to work into larger roles.
