Marvin Mims Jr. Could Have Big Role To Open The Season
1 year agoWhen the Denver Broncos took speedy wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. in this year's draft out of Oklahoma, it felt like more of a luxury pick. Suddenly, as the team prepares for Week 1 against the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday, Mims could have a big role with Tim Patrick (Achilles) already out for the year and Jerry Jeudy (hamstring) questionable. Mims can play inside or outside, has return ability and has a reputation as a smart player. However, speed is his calling card. The 21-year-old had injuries to both his hamstrings early in training camp, but he's healthy now and could have a big role this Sunday if Jeudy is limited or inactive. Mims is worthy of a late-round flier in leagues that haven't drafted yet, and he'll be a sleeper flex play in deeper leagues in Week 1 if Jeudy doesn't suit up.
