Denver Broncos wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. has an exciting deep-threat profile that should fit perfectly with Russell Wilson's moonball. The Oklahoma product was the first draft selection of the Sean Payton era, so he could be involved right away.
However, Mims missed some on-field work during OTAs with a hamstring issue and is back in the injury headlines as training camp kicks off. We have the latest update.
Is Mims healthy or injured and what is his 2023 fantasy football outlook? Let's get into it.

Marvin Mims Jr. Injury Update For Fantasy Football
Mims reportedly suffered an undisclosed injury during a workout recently, but head coach Sean Payton said he will be full-go in a few days or a week.
For now, there's no fantasy takeaway except you'd like to see Mims get as many reps this offseason as possible. This will be a situation worth monitoring, and hopefully, he doesn't suffer any setbacks.
Marvin Mims Jr. 2023 Fantasy Football Outlook
Mims adds an element of high-end speed to the Russell Wilson-led offense, which is never a bad thing.
The 21-year-old wideout averaged 20 yards per reception in each of his final two seasons at Oklahoma and could carve out a legitimate WR3 role as a rookie. He'll likely compete with Tim Patrick to play alongside Jerry Jeudy and Courtland Sutton when he gets healthy and back on the field for training camp.
Assuming he commands plenty of snaps with the first-team offense, he could be a great late-round dart throw -- especially in best ball formats. Jeudy and Sutton should lead the team in targets, but if Wilson gets back to his high-end QB status, there will be plenty of deep shots available for Mims to take advantage of. According to Underdog ADP, Mims is going outside the top 70 wide receivers. Given his cheap cost, it's worth having some exposure to him as a rookie.
