Denver expects Marvin Mims Jr. back healthy for Week 1 vs Tennessee, boosting a fast, multi-weapon attack led by Bo Nix. Mims’ late-2024 surge adds a dangerous vertical element and could lift Denver’s target tree right away.

Against a Titans defense that surrendered points last season, Denver’s breadth of options—plus Perry’s development—gives fantasy managers a nuanced Week 1 outlook. WR depth is still unsettled with several rookies in the mix, while the team emphasizes development and pace under Payton as it aims to turn playmakers into weekly fantasy contributors.

Payton’s plan hinges on leveraging speed and size at receiver, with Mims as a primary catalyst. Barron’s jersey switch signals a maturing secondary that could grow into an on-field factor as the season progresses.
