25-Year-Old Tight EndTE
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.

Staying in NFC North with Minnesota

October 27, 2025
The Vikings claimed Sims off waivers from the Packers on Monday.
ANALYSIS
Sims was waived by the Packers on Saturday, but he'll remain in the NFC North as a member of the Vikings, and his move corresponds with Carson Wentz (shoulder) being placed on injured reserve. Sims will give Minnesota added depth at tight end, and the third-year pro could have a meaningful role behind T.J. Hockenson and Ben Yurosek for this Sunday's game against the Lions if Josh Oliver (foot) is unable to play. Sims mostly played on special teams across his three-regular season appearances for the Packers prior to his removal from the roster.
