New York Jets rookie wide receiver Denzel Mims will miss the team's Week 14 contest against the Seattle Seahawks.

Mims left the team to deal with a family emergency, and as a result, will not be able to clear the COVID testing protocol in time to be active for Week 14. This is a big blow for deep league managers who may have been relying on the rookie receiver. Mims has seen 28.1 percent of the targets and 42.2 percent of the air yards since Week 9, both team highs. The Jets will lean on Breshad Perriman, Jamison Crowder, and Jeff Smith with Mims sidelined. Jamison Crowder is our 26th ranked receiver for Week 14.

Jets wide receiver Denzel Mims is away from the team dealing with a family emergency and could miss Week 14's game against Seattle.

We wish Mims the best in his family matter, but him leaving the team at this stage in the week casts doubt on his Week 14 status as he will have to go through COVID-19 protocol upon his return. If Mims is out for Week 14, the Jets will rely on Jamison Crowder and Breshad Perriman at receiver.

Denzel Mims has made a quick impact for the Jets, becoming a go-to target in a short period of time.

He has only has 13 catches. But he’s making tough, contested grabs and showing glimpses of not only what could have been if Mims was healthy this season, but also what could be for the Jets, the story said. Keep in mind, Mims missed all of training camp, weeks of practice, and the first six games with hamstring injuries in both legs. The second-round pick from Baylor made his NFL debut in Week 7 and has shown improvement each week.

Rookie wide receiver Denzel Mims is healthy and should be targeted often in the offense.

The Jets are selling and want to get a look at their young group of players. Mims could start to get more significant work, much like La'Mical Perine is perhaps starting to get at running back. Many players on the current roster were not hand-picked by GM Joe Douglas. They’re from the past regime. If Douglas can get more draft capital by dealing some players that he didn’t acquire and aren’t in his plans, he won’t hesitate to make a move.

The Jets placed wide receiver Denzel Mims on IR.

Mims has been dealing with hamstring trouble for some time, and was being counted on to be a big contributor in the passing game. The team also placed Le'Veon Bell on the IR leaving the Jets with very little weapons on offense heading into Week 2.
