The Seattle Seahawks signed free-agent wide receiver/kick returner Steven Sims to an undisclosed one-year deal on Tuesday, according to Corbin K. Smith. Sims will reunite with new offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak after playing for him in college at Kansas. The 27-year-old returned a punt for a touchdown earlier in his career and could compete for the kick-returner role on special teams in training camp this summer in Seattle. The former undrafted wideout began his NFL career with the Washington Commanders in 2019 and had his best season in his rookie year, catching 34 of his 56 targets for 310 yards and four touchdowns in 16 games (two starts). He appeared in only nine games with the Houston Texans and Baltimore Ravens in 2024 and washing targeted all on offense on nine total snaps. Fantasy managers can continue to avoid Sims with the Seahawks in 2025.
The Baltimore Ravens claimed wide receiver Steven Sims off waivers on Monday from the Houston Texans. The move to add Sims comes after the Ravens waived disgruntled wideout Diontae Johnson late last week, who was ironically claimed by the Texans. The two teams will face off against each other on Christmas Day on Wednesday. The 27-year-old mostly served in a special teams role with the Texans the last two years. In only seven games played this year, Sims was not targeted at all in the passing game and had just one carry for no gain. The Ravens are likely just bringing Sims in as extra receiver insurance on a short week with both Zay Flowers (shoulder) and Nelson Agholor (concussion) banged up. Even if Flowers and Agholor are ruled out on Christmas Day, we'd be surprised if Sims played an immediate big role on offense for the Ravens.
Steven Sims Speaks Highly Of Houston Wide Receiver Room
Houston Texans wide receiver Steven Sims recently expressed his optimism and excitement about the new-look Houston wide receiver room. In the offseason, the Texans made a big splash and acquired the four-time Pro Bowler Stefon Diggs from the Buffalo Bills. Diggs joins a group of budding stars in Tank Dell and Nico Collins. In addition to adding Diggs, the Texans also welcomed Joe Mixon from Cincinnati to lead them on the ground. Sims expressed on KPRC Houston that, "I can't wait to get back to camp. It's going to be so much fun. I feel like there's going to be a lot of big plays a lot of fun, but it's a business, and it's work. It's time to get back to work, and I'm excited to go back to work with the group we've got I feel like from top to bottom, everybody can get it done." Diggs caught 107 passes last season, which placed him seventh in the league, Collins posed his first 1,000-yard season, and Tank Dell scored seven touchdowns in just 11 games. Second-year quarterback C.J. Stroud will be one of the first quarterbacks selected in fantasy leagues this summer due to the surplus of playmakers he has at his disposal.
The Houston Texans have re-signed wide receiver Steven Sims to a one-year deal on Wednesday. Sims was cut by the Texans during training camp last season but ended up joining the practice squad later in the year. He was quiet as a receiver but has been used more as a punt returner. Sims has been a dynamic returner throughout his career which is likely why the Texans decided to bring him back in 2024.
Houston Texans wide receiver Steven Sims has been elevated from the practice squad ahead of the Week 12 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Texans are bringing up Sims as extra depth with fellow wideout Noah Brown (knee) being ruled out for this game. This is the second time that Sims has been elevated to the active roster this season. Last time, he hauled in both his targets for 25 yards during the Week 11 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. It's hard to imagine Sims seeing enough action to warrant streaming in any fantasy formats this week.
Free-agent wide receiver Steven Sims agreed to a deal with the Texans on Friday. The 25-year-old, who played with the Steelers last season, has appeared in 40 games during his career, pulling in 75 catches for 679 yards. He also has five career touchdowns, although he's had just one trip to the end zone in the previous three seasons. There's a chance Sims could move up the depth chart. However, he'll probably get most of his work on special teams, which won't do anything for his fantasy value.
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Steven Sims joined the organization roughly a week ago. However, he won't be sticking around in Buffalo for long. The 24-year-old was unable to make the final 53-man roster. Instead, it sounds like Isaiah McKenzie, Jake Kumerow, Marquez Stevenson will fill out the rest of the depth chart. Sims might land elsewhere as a depth option, but never really a real chance at having success in Buffalo. While, Stefon Diggs, Cole Beasley, and Emmanuel Sanders are expected to see a majority of the passing reps this season.
The Buffalo Bills signed wide receiver Steven Sims to an undisclosed deal on Wednesday after spending two seasons with the Washington Football Team. Sims was recently released by Washington after recording 34 catches for 310 yards and four touchdowns in 16 games since his rookie season in 2019. In 12 games last year, Sims had 27 receptions for 265 yards and one touchdown while also returning 30 punts for 186 yards and 35 kickoffs for 861 yards and a touchdown in the last two seasons. The move to add Sims could signal that Isaiah McKenzie's shoulder injury is serious. The 24-year-old will provide valuable receiver depth in Buffalo and could take over the return duties if McKenzie misses extended time, but he's unlikely to see enough volume on offense to be worth investing in for fantasy purposes.
The Washington Football Team released wide receiver Steven Sims Jr. on Monday as they begin to trim their roster with the regular season approaching. In his two seasons with Washington, Sims put up 61 receptions for 575 yards and five touchdowns. The former Kansas receiver had a promising rookie season but took some steps back in 2020 with the new coaching staff. He then saw his spot on the depth chart continue to fall this offseason as Washington added Curtis Samuel in free agency and Dyami Brown in this year's draft. Sims could be added by a team who is needy at the wide receiver position, and could potentially put up some solid numbers if he is given an opportunity to play meaningful snaps. For now, he can be disregarded in all fantasy formats.
Washington Football Team wide receiver Steven Sims Jr. has been working hard for a roster spot during the team's first couple weeks of training camp. Team reporter Zach Selby mentioned that Sims has really stood out so far and has strung together a few good practices in a row. His speed and ability to make contested catches will probably secure him a spot on Washington's roster as the team looks to evaluate a crowded group of wide receivers. Sims is battling for playing time behind Terry McLaurin, Curtis Samuel, Adam Humphriesand Dyami Brown, which means his impact will likely be minimal. Sims is well off the fantasy radar for now.
