Steven Sims Jr. Could See Increased Role
5 years agoWashington Redskins wide receiver Steven Sims Jr. has stepped up in a big way over the last two weeks, racking up 11 catches for 109 yards and three touchdowns. In Week 17 he will have a slight upgrade at quarterback in Case Keenum, and he might wind up as Washington's top receiving option if Terry McLaurin is held out due to a concussion. Sims has already been enjoying an uptick in opportunity after seeing 28 total targets in his last three outings; the door opens wider if McLaurin can't go. Sims can be viewed as a mid-range PPR flex with a reasonable floor in the event he does get the nod as the number-one, but should be treated as a low-end flex with upside if McLaurin is active.
