2026 Outlook
Mims enters 2026 as one of the safest return-yardage assets in fantasy football. The 24-year-old is a two-time Pro Bowler and multiple-time All-Pro selection who led the NFL in punt return yardage in 2025. He continues to provide explosive-play potential every time he touches the ball and has established himself as one of the league's premier return specialists. More importantly, Denver continues to find ways to get him involved offensively, maintaining his value beyond special teams. He's accumulated more than 2,400 combined return yards over his career while contributing as both a receiver and occasional rushing threat (per The Ultimate 2026 Return Yardage Watchlist).
Since entering the league in 2023, Mims has compiled 98 catches, 1,202 yards, and 8 TDs. Even after the Broncos acquired Jaylen Waddle, Mims should maintain a meaningful role in Sean Payton's offense given his dual offensive/special-teams value. Unlike many return specialists, barring injury, his role appears secure entering training camp, making him one of the most reliable return-yardage options in fantasy football entering the 2026 season (per The Ultimate 2026 Return Yardage Watchlist).
