Sleepers on the Denver Broncos

Reasons WR Marvin Mims Jr. Could Be a Sleeper

  • Jeff Bell: Mims had 69 yards through the first ten games and 434 over the final seven. He has been highlighted with diverse and creative usage. 
  • David Zacharias: The versatile speedster finished the last seven games of 2024 as a low-WR2, and should smash his WR5/6 2025 projection as Denver's kick returning WR2.
  • Phil Alexander: Playing time's a concern, but if he lands the WR2 role, he's a league-winner at 11th-round ADP. The price is right to draft talent and roll the dice.
  • Jeff Blaylock: He was a top-24 wide receiver over the last seven weeks of 2024 and posted three WR1 weeks. With his ADP hovering around WR60, he's one of the better late-round bets you can make. 
  • Colton Dodgson: He had some big games to end last season. The sample was limited, but his 2.8 yards per route run inspires confidence. He's worth the dart throw.
