• Future Outlook •
To round out the season, Mims plays (SOS passing ranking/fantasy points allowed to opposing WRs) via @FTNFantasy:
@ LAR: 4th (22.7)
Vs CLE: 22nd (32.5)
@ NE: 31st (27.6)
Overall, it will be a tough finish to the season for Mims
However it’s beyond 2020...

When I really start to become excited by Denzel Mims.
QB Situation:
The Jets are looking extremely like to get the 1st pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, and with that pick I can’t see them taking anyone except QB Trevor Lawrence, who has looked like one of the greatest QB prospects...

We have seen for years. The upgrade from Darnold to Lawrence will be a huge benefit to Mims, who he will be tied to for many years.
Coaching staff:
The current Jets HC is Adam Gase, who has been a nightmare to any player he coaches fantasy value. However with how bad the Jets...

Have looked under Gase, I fully expect them to move on sooner rather than later. That in itself will be a bump to Mims value.
Situation:
Mims is already arguably the WR2 on the Jets, but fellow WR Breshad Perriman’s contract is up at the end of this season, Crowders expires...

In 2022. Mims should be the top outside option for NYJ as soon as next season and has the potential to be one of Lawrence’s top targets very quickly.

His situation looks to be vastly improved in 2021.
In dynasty, he is currently valued as a late 1st/early 2nd round 2021 pick via DLF, which I think is about right. I’d be happy to give anything up to a late 1st in 1QB leagues for Mims.
He would be a target for me no matter...

What your situation is, whether you are rebuilding or contending.
After his steady start to his rookie season, while other rookie are blowing up, he is my ideal buy right now in dynasty with his skyscraper upside.
Grab him before the hype build near draft time!
