Denzel Mims Week 13 Outlook - Commanders at Steelers

He now has three straight games with eight targets, which is certainly good news, and he's also totaled at least 62 yards in each of them. We noticed that other rookies took some time to acclimate to the NFL, so it could be starting to click for Mims. The matchup he'll have against the Raiders will be primarily against Damon Arnette (who suffered a concussion last week) or Isaiah Johnson. Neither of them has been particularly good this year, allowing a combined 33-of-47 passing for 473 yards and three touchdowns. That's over 10.0 yards per target and a touchdown every 15.7 targets. Still, the production against them has been quite spread out, as there've been just nine wide receivers all year who've topped 68 receiving yards against them. Ultimately, Mims should offer a somewhat stable floor as a low-end WR4 but it's hard to love him in this offense that's constantly underachieving.
