Should You Start or Roster Ben Sims?
Sims has been a body in the tight end room, not a pass-catcher, and the tracking bears it out. Across 2023-2025 he never cleared a 21.3% snap share, ran 35 routes in three 2025 games, and posted a 6.4% route rate with a 1.3% target share. His 0.86 yards per route run and three catches for 30 yards last season are the kind of numbers that don't move fantasy lineups. Eleven career receptions in three years tell the whole story.
A one-year deal in Miami slots him behind the depth chart as a blocking-first reserve, and a projected line near 21 catches for 200 yards and a touchdown would actually be a career year by a wide margin. Ranked outside the top 90 at the position, he carries no real draft value and stays on waiver wires until injuries force snaps his way.
