Should You Start or Sit Mims in Week 8?
Marvin Mims set season highs in routes, targets, and receiving yards last week against the Giants. While a crazy game script certainly played into that, it’s a positive step for a player who has struggled to produce such data points this season.
This is exactly the type of player that you could be forced into playing for this goofy week with six teams on a bye and various injuries impacting the teams that are in action.
Is Mims safe?
Not close.
But you’re taking a stab on a high-upside receiver attached to an offense with upside in a matchup that is a fantasy steroid.
Mims’ average touchdown length for his career is 37.9 yards, making him a real threat to land a single punch in this favorable spot.
