Marvin Mims Jr. Week 4 Outlook - Broncos at Bears

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Sat, Sep 30th 2023, 12:05am EDT

Mims remains only a part-time player. No, I don't know why Sean Payton hasn't made the talented rookie a full-time player yet. Mims has the eighth-best receiving grade and leads all wide receivers in YPRR (minimum five targets). Over the last two weeks, he has a 10% Target share, a 29.9% air yard share, and a 29.7 aDOT. He leads the team with a 32% TPRR against zone coverage. He could have another banner day on limited volume on deep shots against a secondary that has allowed the seventh-highest passer rating and the 12th-highest adjusted completion rate to passes traveling 20 or more yards downfield. This could be the week that Mims gets a snap bump. If you need ceiling from your flex play, Mims could be your guy this week. He will run about 80% of his routes against Jaylon Jones (career: 70% catch rate and 93.0 passer rating) and Tyrique Stevenson (69.2% catch rate and 147.4 passer rating). Week 4 Positional Value: WR4 with boom potential
