Should I start Marvin Mims or Nicholas Singleton in Week 7?

Updated Oct 21, 10:36 AM ET.

Start Marvin Mims: 25 percent of the snaps and 11 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Nicholas Singleton's 12 percent of the snaps and 13 percent of the carries. No market projection is posted on either of them this week, so this is a usage call, and a lower confidence one than a call made on a projection. What follows is what each of them has done.

The gap

  • Board size304 draftable players

Draft data is not current for these two, so the figures that depend on it are left out. The call above comes from each player's usage.

Where the draft room stands

Live drafts hold no current pick on Marvin Mims, and the board ranks him 139th overall on the rest of his evidence.

Live drafts hold no current pick on Nicholas Singleton, and the board ranks him 140th overall on the rest of his evidence.

The market-based projections

Marvin Mims's market-based projection is 3.7 PPR points a game, built from 3 markets across 8 market sources. That is the 122nd highest figure of the 201 players with a market-based projection.

The market-based projection for Nicholas Singleton is 0.7 PPR points a game off 1 market across 8 market sources. That is 30 percent of what a running back's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

Nicholas Singleton's projection is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.

This season so far

Through Week 6, Marvin Mims has been on the field for 23 percent of DEN snaps, drawn 8 percent of the targets and had 0 percent of the red zone chances.

He has taken 5 of the offence's 36 third down targets, had 0 of its 6 chances inside the five and seen 1 of its 19 two minute targets.

His 9 targets have averaged 5.7 air yards.

In Week 4 against SF he caught 1 of 3 targets for 10 yards and did not score.

In Week 5 against LAC he carried 1 time for 3 yards, caught 2 of 2 targets for 6 yards and did not score.

In Week 6 against SEA he caught 2 of 4 targets for 13 yards and did not score.

Through Week 4, Nicholas Singleton has been on the field for 12 percent of TEN snaps, taken 13 percent of the carries, drawn 0 percent of the targets and had 7 percent of the red zone chances.

He has taken 0 of the offence's 11 third down targets, had 0 of its 10 chances inside the five and seen 0 of its 9 two minute targets.

In Week 2 against PHI he carried 4 times for 10 yards and did not score.

In Week 4 against BAL he carried 3 times for 2 yards and did not score.

Their 2025 seasons

In 2025 Marvin Mims played 15 games and scored 93.0 PPR points, 6.2 a game, finishing WR66.

He caught 37 of 51 targets for 322 yards and 1 touchdown, with 2 red zone targets.

That came to 3.4 targets a game, a 73 percent catch rate and 8.7 yards a catch.

He was on the field for 35 percent of the snaps in the games he played.

Nicholas Singleton is a rookie, so there is no NFL season behind him to price him against.

Side by side

Marvin Mims is a wide receiver and Nicholas Singleton a running back, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.

Byes and availability

Marvin Mims is off in Week 10 and Nicholas Singleton in Week 9, so either can cover the other's bye.

What would change the answer

Nicholas Singleton has only a partial projection, so the market half of this page is whole for only one of them.
