Should You Start or Sit Marvin Mims Jr. in Week 1?
Marvin Mims Jr. scored on 11.5% of his targets during a sophomore season that is being coined a breakout of sorts in this Sean Payton system, with Bo Nix serving as the trigger man.
He was a low-volume game-breaker during his time at Oklahoma and, for some reason, the fantasy industry lost its collective mind when he did more of the same at the professional level. The touchdown-driven success last season was fun, but if we trust Payton, don’t we also have to read into the statement he made via playing time?
2024 Broncos, routes per game
- Courtland Sutton: 34.2
- Devuaughn Vele: 24.0
- Lil’Jordan Humphrey: 17.0
- Javonte Williams: 16.7
- Lucas Krull: 16.7
- Troy Frankling: 16.6
- Mims: 11.5
The names have changed a little entering this season. There is more target upside filling both the RB1 and TE1 roles this year than last, making significant growth from Mims awfully hard to feel good about.
We currently look at 4-5 weekly touches with limited scoring equity. There are half a dozen of these high upside WRs whose year-end numbers will be more valuable than he was weekly. A few big weeks and a few more bust weeks: I’ll roll these dice when my roster backs me into a corner, ideally not before then.
