2026 Week 4 Fantasy Football: Marvin Mims and Jaylen Waddle Return to Full Practice

Good news out of Denver: according to ProFootballTalk (NBC Sports), wide receivers Marvin Mims and Jaylen Waddle both had full participation at Wednesday's practice, and coach Sean Payton said Waddle is "doing great." Running back J.K. Dobbins (hip) was also a full participant.

Marvin Mims

Mims hasn't played since Week 1 due to a foot injury. He had limited practices all of last week, was listed as questionable against the Rams, and was ultimately inactive. Full participation Wednesday is a significant step up. If he clears the rest of the week without a setback, expect his questionable tag to trend toward active. He's been a zero for fantasy managers since Week 1 — watch Thursday and Friday's practice reports closely before making any roster decisions.

Jaylen Waddle

Waddle was also dealing with a foot injury and carried a questionable designation, but Payton's "doing great" comment is about as encouraging as coach-speak gets. Full practice Wednesday points toward him playing this week. He's the more established fantasy asset of the two Denver wideouts here — if he's confirmed active, lock him in your lineup.

J.K. Dobbins

Dobbins logged full participation despite a hip issue, which is a positive sign. The source story doesn't detail the severity of his injury or how much it has affected his recent usage, so don't overreact either way — but no injury limitation at Wednesday's practice is always the right direction.

The Mims and Waddle updates are connected: Mims missed Weeks 2 and 3, meaning whoever was absorbing his snaps and targets in the Denver offense may see a reduced role if he returns. Keep an eye on any waiver-wire adds you made to cover Mims's absence — their window could be closing.
