Denzel Mims Week 12 Outlook - Ravens at Steelers

By Mike Tagliere (FantasyPros), Wed, Nov 25th 2020, 7:22pm EST

These two are highly unpredictable from week-to-week, and if Perriman hadn't caught that 49-yard touchdown late in the game, he would've finished with just one catch for five yards. In the end, he only got four targets, which is not enough to start anyone with confidence, especially when he has Flacco or Darnold as his quarterback. Mims has seen a much more consistent target share (at least seven targets in 3-of-4 games), and though he hasn't topped 71 yards, he also hasn't fallen below 42 yards. Don't forget he's a rookie who didn't play a single snap until Week 7, so he should only get better. The issue for both of these receivers this week is the Dolphins cornerback duo of Xavien Howard and Byron Jones. They're the cornerbacks these guys will see all game, and they've combined to allow just 54-of-96 passing for 783 yards, five touchdowns, and six interceptions in their coverage. They're not unbeatable, as there have been eight wide receivers who've totaled 82-plus yards against them, but it's hardly a matchup to target. Mims would be my preferred option of the two due to his seemingly more consistent target share but they're both stuck in WR5 territory.
