ANALYSIS
Sims last played for the Bears and was released in the 2019 offseason. That did not stop him from attempting to find a new landing spot, but ultimately nothing panned out. As a result, he is officially hanging up his cleats. The Michigan State product was a fourth-round draft pick by the Dolphins in the 2013 NFL Draft. He will end his career with 91 receptions for 888 yards and nine touchdowns.

Primarily a blocking tight end, Sims has been able to post moderate production as a receiver during the first five years of his career, posting 256 and 284 yards during two separate seasons with the Dolphins. However, despite being a full-time player in his initial year with the Bears, he was targeted just 29 times, catching 15 of those for 180 yards. With Trey Burton being added to the roster and Adam Shaheen now in his second year, it'll be difficult for Sims to be a player that fantasy owners can count on for any type of consistent production.
