Broncos stock report: Marvin Mims, Jr.’s ascension continues and the rest looks bleak after 50-point loss

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:55:18 GMT

Stock upMarvin Mims, Jr., the wide receiverThe rookie wideout in the past two games has been targeted seven times and has five catches for 186 yards and a touchdown. That’s 26.6 yards per target. And he’s done it despite playing just 31 snaps over that stretch. Not too shabby. The Broncos coaching staff so far hasn’t been willing to put the former Oklahoma standout on the field in more than part-time work. How much longer can that last? He’s Denver’s leading receiver through three games. He looks like the only player — outside of perhaps Jerry Jeudy as he gets healthy — that defensive coordinators are scared of on the Broncos offense.Marvin Mims, Jr., the kick returnerOk, there are only so many positives after a 70-20, so we’re stretching Mims further. His 99-yard kick return goes down as maybe the least impactful imaginable on a game. It cut the Dolphins’ lead to, uh, 63-20 in the fourth quarter. But hey, he took it 99 yards. And he’s got a 45-yard punt return on his ledger this ye...

It premiered on Amazon Prime on Sept. 15 in honor of Hispanic Heritage Month and has been in the #1 spot ever since.
