After averaging a 57 percent offensive snap share since Denver's Week 9 bye, Mims saw his playing time decrease in Week 13 and played just 31 percent of snaps. As has been the case throughout the 2023 campaign, the rookie's role in the offense is not consistent enough to warrant much consideration for fantasy purposes. Mims will continue to struggle to see meaningful usage when the Broncos face the Chargers in Week 14.

After averaging a 57 percent offensive snap share since Denver's Week 9 bye, Mims saw his playing time decrease in Week 13 and played just 31 percent of snaps. As has been the case throughout the 2023 campaign, the rookie's role in the offense is not consistent enough to warrant much consideration for fantasy purposes. Mims will continue to struggle to see meaningful usage when the Broncos face the Chargers in Week 14.
Mims avoided the Broncos' final Week 13 injury report by upgrading to full practice participation Friday after a pair of limited sessions. The rookie out of Oklahoma should continue to work as Denver's return man on special teams while filling a depth role at wide receiver. Mims has caught more than two passes in a game only once in his young career while chipping in one receiving touchdown and one kick return touchdown.
Mims now has two more chances to upgrade his participation level ahead of Sunday's game against the Texans. That said, with Courtland Sutton and Jerry Jeudy (groin) ahead of him in the Broncos' WR pecking order, the speedy Mims profiles as a speculative fantasy lineup option ahead of Week 13 action.
Sunday marked Mims' second straight week with two grabs on three targets. The rookie's modest production with his opportunities shows that he has yet to truly be unleashed in Denver's offense. With that said, it appears that head coach Sean Payton is making an effort to get Mims more involved in the offense. Before the Broncos' Week 9 bye, the speedy wideout was averaging just a 29 percent offensive snap share. In the three games since the bye, his snap share average has increased to roughly 57 percent. As is the case with many rookie receivers, it's possible that Mims could push for more opportunities as the season progresses. Even so, the 21-year-old won't make for a trustworthy fantasy option in Week 13 against the Texans.
Mims' frustrating start to the 2023 campaign continued Sunday, as the wideout was held without a catch and lost yards on his one carry in the contest. The rookie played 18 of 59 offensive snaps, the lowest of any Denver wide receiver. The Broncos' coaching staff appears firmly committed to bringing the Oklahoma product along slowly this season despite flashing his playmaking ability with several opportunities. Up next for the Broncos is a rematch with the Chiefs. Mims failed to record a target in their first matchup, and the 21-year-old should continue to be difficult to trust for fantasy purposes as Denver hosts Kansas City in Week 8.
