Mims did next to nothing the first half of last season but got it going late in the year. He had 100-yard games two of his last five games and had multiple touchdowns each of his last two games. He showed his big potential, possibly earning a much larger role in the offense from day one this year. Mims has 61 receptions in two seasons but averages 14.4 yards per catch and has seven touchdowns. Mims is a big-play threat at receiver. He can make plays after the catch and also run by defenders with his plus speed on deep routes. Mims is a bit of a limited route runner, though, and can struggle some with the contested catch because of a lack of strength.
FANTASY OUTLOOK: Mims is a wild card despite his big finish to last year. He still could be a little inconsistent. But you have to like his potential if getting the weekly chances. Look for him to take another leap forward this year and serve as a No. 3 or 4 for fantasy teams. He could get 60 receptions, 1,000 total yards and eight touchdowns.
Denver Broncos wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. has earned Pro Bowl nods in each of his first two NFL seasons for his work as a return specialist, but as a pass-catcher, he's been very inconsistent despite his big-play abilities (average of 10.3 yards after the catch). The 23-year-old former second-rounder in 2023 out of Oklahoma caught just 11 of 19 targets for 69 yards in his first 10 games in 2024 before catching 28 of 33 targets for 434 yards and all six of his touchdowns in the final seven weeks of the regular season. Mims was targeted much more often late in the year after a Week 11 breakout performance, but he just wasn't on the field enough to warrant any kind of real fantasy attention in 12-team leagues. While Mims is going to be a part of Denver's offensive plan in 2025, the Broncos did add veteran tight end Evan Engram and rookie receiver Pat Bryant, which could continue to make it difficult for him to make a weekly impact. At best, Mims is a WR5 target in deeper fantasy leagues, with RotoBaller ranking him as the WR53 in half-PPR setups.

The Athletic's Nick Kosmider suggests that Denver Broncos wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. could be poised for his first 1,000-yard season in 2025 with another year of chemistry with second-year quarterback Bo Nix. Mims was selected in the second round (63rd overall) in 2023 out of Oklahoma, and he's already been a Pro Bowl returner on special teams twice. However, the 23-year-old's progress as a pass-catcher could unlock another element in the Broncos' offense. He showcased his ability to win on contested deep balls -- no example greater than his amazing Week 17 touchdown grab against the Cincinnati Bengals to force overtime. Mims had 434 receiving yards and six touchdowns in his final seven games in 2024 and is probably the favorite for WR2 duties behind Courtland Sutton. For his big-play abilities alone, Mims is worth a bench stash as a WR5/6.
From RotoBaller
Denver Broncos wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. is aiming for another trip to the Pro Bowl. "When you're hitting a streak, why not keep it going," said Mims, referring to his two Pro Bowl selections in his first two years in the National Football League. "I'm excited." Without question, his contributions as a return specialist can't be denied. However, fantasy managers hope he'll make more noise for his accomplishments on the receiving end. The 23-year-old looked better in his sophomore campaign, finishing with 39 receptions for 503 yards and six touchdowns. The Broncos added J.K. Dobbins and Evan Engram this offseason, two players who will command attention from second-year signal-caller Bo Nix. Courtland Sutton is still on the roster and is coming off his first 1,000-yard receiving season since 2019. With that said, it's still reasonable to assume Mims could remain involved and improve even more this season, so he'll be worth considering in the later rounds of fantasy drafts.
