Watch Matt Waldman's take on Mims this week. This dude is really good.

Where did you see this?

Picked up as a jeudy owner. Think you need to own all broncos WRs at this point

lol, yes he does. His ceiling is the playing time Sean Payton allows him to get.

Man, that's a great break for you, imo. Burks is toast in that offense and Mims' upside is very high.

That seems, basically, like the same play except Davis runs more routes. Both games possible shootouts as well.
Yes both boom or bust guys but Chicago's defense is WAY worse than Miamis.

I haven't seen Waldman's take, but the only offensive rookie I am more impressed with so far this year is Achane. Mims is a much more talented version of Judy. Only a matter of time before he forces his way into the featured role, and I do think that time will come at some point this season.

Really feels like this guy just needs opportunity. His yards per target is insane. I would love to know if he isn’t being targeted more due to him just not being used or is he just not getting open any other time?

I’ll answer my own question. Mims had just 10 routes run all day.
He leads the Broncos in receiving yards by 26 yards. He has run just 36 routes. Sutton has run 129. Jeudy has run 87. Mims is 6th in routes run for the Broncos.
His lack of usage is insanity.

Certainly seems so

There's got to be some reason Payton isn't playing him more, and it almost certainly has to do with practice, since nobody can see a reason not to play him more from just watching the games. It's possible that if Payton is doing this it will benefit Mims in the long run, by making him more professional. It's also possible that Payton is simply an egotistical jerk.

Cecil Lammey mentioned on the Sunday podcast that Mims is mostly practicing on running plays. So if Denver is ever able to keep a game close, then you might see more of Mims. Maybe they are trying to turn him into Cordarelle Patterson - i.e. give him running plays that set up lanes similar to a punt return, to use Matt Waldman's analogy of the role of Patterson and Deebo.

Meh, Terry had the bigger game this week but it was really 8 for 86, the TD was a fumble recovery. Looks like Terry and Mims both have a ceiling around 16ish PPR points, but I have more faith in Russ (and expect them to be trailing often) than I do in Howell.

Ahead of him is Brandon Johnson, who went undrafted last year but has stuck. Had a 60% snap share yesterday, scored a short TD. Arguably, Mims has done more with less, so as others have deduced, he's earned more run. That in fact was reported, yesterday morning I think, that getting him more involved was something Payton had mentioned. Noted above, Mims jr. has a carry or two, of the jet sweep variety perhaps? He's not a ball-carrier, my guess is they're considering him for the down & distance role. They're definitely working on it.

I'm guessing his biggest value increase will be when one, if not both of the other WR's are traded to a contender.

I found that back in March New England was among a number of teams expressing interest in Jerry Jeudy. He was also shopped at the deadline last year. Key or relevant perhaps is that he's the product of a "noted Patriots feeder program" there at Alabama. Denver apparently priced him out but a local source contends that Jeudy's value has since dipped. Plus, the Patriots still need help at WR. I would upgrade your guess to likelihood.

As both a Jeudy and Mims owner, I would love to see Jeudy traded. NE may not be the best option (for us fantasy owners), but they could use an alpha for sure.

I’m sure it was mentioned in the game thread this week that Mims made a mistake on a return and barely saw the field after that

Not true in the least.
The muffed KR occurred late Q1 and in fact Mims snap % was highest all season at 37%.
He even got his first catch on 3rd down of the exact same series he muffed.

Drop Pickens for Mims? Is that too much of a stretch?
Johnson's return is going to eat into Pickens' production and there's limited upside with these Steelers QBs.

usage slowly ticking upwards, suddenly russ looks like, dare I say it, competent? this offense is just beginning to chug down the runway headed to take off and wheels up time. favorable second half schedule and Mims should see far more looks

What is Mims dynasty upside? Does he have a WR1 ceiling?
LawFitz
Footballguy
I would guess more likely high-end WR2. Few WRs his size become legit WR1s w/o return yards persisting, which rarely happens once the player becomes featured at WR. That said there are exceptions to this - Antonio Brown, Steve Smith, Tyreek to name a few - but they tend to have extremely exceptional characteristics beyond size.

Everyone, surely?

I do and he's a pretty good dynasty asset as well.
Johnston is a free agent in my league. Mims is on a team

He broke out for me during weeks 2 and 3. Preseason, really, but a big tell for me in the real games was when he made splash plays those weeks as both a returner and WR. Health (always) permitting, I think it's only a matter of time this year, before lil homie starts putting up WR2-worthy fantasy production.
