What the heck happened to this guy - hoping JD works his magic and can dump him for a 4th rder somehow.
I think he got sick at some point last season and lost a bunch of weight. I was a bit of a fan going into last year, but abandoning ship with all the bodies they've brought in.
I like the call on Mims. He's going to be active this week. He looked good in the preseason, but has been a disappointment since being drafted. I picked him up off the waiver wire in a few leagues to see what he does. I love when others spend decent draft capital on a player and they eventually end up on the waiver wire and I get them for free.Any chance Mims is a sleeper this week for FF or DFS?
Seems like it might be an interesting time for him - and the Jets would be smart to start him & even feature him a bit if they’re trying to move him at the deadline.
As a shareholder in one dynasty league, I’d sure love to see it.
Also what teams might be a good fit for him? Off the top of my head in no particular order:
• DAL - IMO better than Brown as a WR3
• ATL - if any team in the NFL needs a WR it’s ATL
• LAR - struggling to find a WR3 for 2 seasons since DJax departure - Kupp isn’t going and ARob hasn’t been effective
• Ravens - not ideal for FF managers, but they just signed 35 y/o DJax
• SF - another undesirable spot FF-wise but they could use him on ST, I’m sure, and would find some targets for him on offense. Probably not enough to be FF-relevant.
• Seattle - They don’t have a ton behind DKM & Lockett, and Lockett is getting on in years.
• Green Bay - limping along with Cobb, Watson is hurt, and Doubs has been wildly inconsistent. This is one of the better landing spots, and Mims likely slots in as the WR2 once he has the playbook.
• Bears - they have very little behind Mooney
• Texans - can use all the help they can get on offense
• Tampa Bay - has struggled to keep WRs healthy all year. Would be an immediate upgrade to Gage
• stays with Jets - they deal another WR.
Any team I missed?
My one share is the orphan team I took over on the 16-team dynasty. I’ve been holding & he looked great in the preseason.I like the call on Mims. He's going to be active this week.

Holding them hostage is a bit hyperbolic. Mims gets his chances to earn playing time and hasn’t seized it. He’s shown flashes on about 3-4 preseason catches and 1-2 NFL catches. If teams made reasonable offers maybe they would have traded him. Right now is a good reason you don’t just give depth away - Mims may be active this week.
The statement was meant to sarcastic. I do understand that teams typically play their best players and there is usually a reason if someone is not active. Mims has a nice physical skill set. I have no idea about his work ethic, route running consistency, attitude, ability to play special teams…etc. There are a lot of factors that go into who plays and who doesn’t. The Jets also have nice depth at that position for the first time in awhile. I think they should trade him if they do not see him as a future contributor and (this is key) someone is willing to pay a fair price for him. If they are getting offered conditional 6th/7th rounders it completely makes sense to keep him as the goal is to have as many good players on roster as you can. From what you have seen of Mims what is your opinion on why he cannot seem to find his way onto the active roster?
From what I’ve seen, I can’t really figure it out. He has shown flashes of talent and has the measurables (I was excited when they drafted him). He did make a few bonehead type plays to go along with those flashes, but obviously he’s inexperienced. This year it’s more a depth issue - Moore, Wilson, Davis and Berrios are all just better than him, and maybe they don’t like his special team contributions so he doesn’t get the WR5 slot.
There is absolutely no good reason why Mims should still be on the Jets after the 2022 NFL trade deadline. Not one.IIRC there were reports from when this regime started that Mims’ skills didn’t translate to the offensive schemes they wanted to run. Whether that meant he couldn’t run timing routes well for a WCO -or- he could/couldn’t translate his skills far better to a different team?
I would disagree. 1) Teams not offering enough to make it worthwhile to get rid of a talented player. 2) There Is more to the Elijah drama than we know about and there is a possibility he would be moved. 3) Jets are content on keeping their best players on their roster as they value depth.There is absolutely no good reason why Mims should still be on the Jets after the 2022 NFL trade deadline.

Can't imagine more than a 2025 6th or 7th since they were about to release him.
He was drafted late in the second round. After he was drafted he said that he had a chip on his shoulder because 12 other WRs were drafted before him.
He’s very comparable to Chark is build and athleticism. Obviously hasn’t had the actual success DJ has. It’s worth a flier as a Lions fan.
Exactly the type that's worth a minor pick swap.
Yeah, it's not like he's Javy Báez.
If he makes the team
He hasn’t had the reps to have Chark’s success.
Could be a reason for that too
That's very cool, risk free. Though also not a good sign that literally nobody else wanted him.
I don’t know that we ever really got a clear reason. Also that passing offense has been a train wreck virtually his entire career in NY.
I’m not sure that’s true though. Clearly the Lions believed that at least 1 other team wanted him, no?
