Mims or 2.01

Mims for me

Jeudy and Sutton are the definition of "not those guys." Neither is long for Payton's Broncos

Mims. He has shown me with limited snaps what he can be capable of doing with more opportunity in the future. The Denver coaching staff traded up to draft Mims with their first pick of their era in round 2 of the draft when they had other team needs. They clearly like him enough to do that.

Some coaches especially the old school ones like Sean Peyton make rookies earn their way onto the field. He kept Kamara as the #3 RB in his rookie year until the back half in 2017 and the same thing is repeating itself here.

One of Sutton or Jeudy most likely will be traded by the trade deadline to a WR needy team in contention. Courtland Sutton has a potential out in his contract after this year. Jeudy is in the 4th year of his rookie deal and has not been extended yet, anything can happen.

We have a great prospect on a floundering team. So it’s a gamble. Do you value the player more or the situation?

I account for talent and situation.

On the situation part of the equation, we have
1) Sutton + Jeudy continue to be utilized more than Mims, and Jeudy is seen as having a "future" with the team.
2) The QB situation is not great and is not likely to improve next year.
3) Mims is not currently being given a huge opportunity by the coaches.

If those things were different ... say Mims had Hebert as QB, the WR2 for his team was out for the season, and the coaches were giving him 85% snap rate. If that was the situation, and Mimis was producing good stats right now, I'd be a little higher on Mims. But none of that is the situation, so I'm still lukewarm on his ceiling.

I think Mims can be a very good real life player. It's only his fantasy production that I doubt.

That's one way to look at it. What I see is someone who's making the absolute most of his opportunities with an increasing snap count and a front office that's actively trying to trade the receivers in front of him.
