Despite having a quality tight end in Zach Miller, the Chicago Bears brought in Dion Sims for some much-needed depth at the position for the 2017 season. Sims has spent the last four seasons with the Miami Dolphins and comes to the Bears with an opportunity to have his best season as a pro.
Miller is not a great blocking tight end, but Sims has tremendous value as an additional blocker. Sims may not be a game breaker in the passing game, but he does have reliable hands that a quarterback shouldn’t be afraid to utilize.
Sims will start 2017 with no fantasy value but that may change.
