Denzel Mims Fantasy

New York Jets wide receiver Jeff Smith was productive at the team's first day of mandatory minicamp practice on Tuesday and got a lot of run with the first-team offense. Smith is currently ahead of Denzel Mims for the No. 5 receiver spot, strictly based on practice repetitions, and Smith is also a top special-teamer. Mims ran with the second- and third-team offense on Tuesday. The former second-rounder had just eight catches for 133 yards in 11 games last year and has yet to score a touchdown in the NFL. He looks good physically this offseason, but he's still buried on the receiver depth chart behind Corey Davis, rookie Garrett Wilson, Elijah Moore and Braxton Berrios with training camp a month away. Perhaps the Jets will trade Mims this year.

New York Jets wide receiver Denzel Mims is seemingly ready for the 2022-23 season to begin. Mims, who was selected in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft, has struggled throughout his tenure as a professional, finishing the 2021-22 campaign by hauling in only eight catches for 133 yards. However, he's reportedly now "bigger and leaner" after he began working with his longtime personal trainer immediately after the Jets' year ended in January. Nonetheless, Mims will have to convince head coach Robert Saleh that he's improved if he hopes to move up on the team's depth chart. Yet, The 24-year-old appears to be trending in the right direction, so managers should continue to monitor his progress ahead of fantasy drafts.

New York Jets wide receiver Denzel Mims might be forced into a bigger role in Week 16. The Jets are without Elijah Moore due to protocols and Jamison Crowder (calf) is listed as doubtful. That being said, Braxton Berrios, Keelan Cole, and Mims are likely going to be asked to be the main options. Mims has eight receptions on the season and hasn't surpassed 40 receiving yards in a single game. The Jacksonville Jaguars do struggle to contain the passing attack. Although, it's not enough to warrant starting Mims in almost any format.
