Minnesota Vikings
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Sims entered the previous campaign as Green Bay's third tight end, and while he filled the No. 2 spot behind Tucker Kraft while Luke Musgrave was sidelined due to injury, he finished it in the same spot after Musgrave's late-season return. All three players remain in Green Bay, and all figure to fill similar roles, which means Sims, who has tallied just eight receptions across 34 career appearances, will remain limited mainly to blocking duties.

Gets first Vikings reception
TEMinnesota Vikings
December 8, 2025
Sims had one reception for nine yards on his only target in Sunday's win over Washington.
ANALYSIS
It was surprising to see Sims get a target as he'd played just ten snaps on offense since joining the Vikings in October. However, the Vikings used plenty of three-tight-end sets in the win. Sims isn't likely to get more than a few targets the rest of the season unless injuries strike T.J. Hockenson and Josh Oliver, however.
