Steven Sims Jr. Week 2 Outlook - Ravens at Texans

By Mike Tagliere (FantasyPros), Thu, Sep 17th 2020, 9:20am EDT

We talked about how tough Sims' matchup was last week, so to see him get just three targets is no surprise. He turned them into 50 yards, so it wasn't a bad performance with all things considered. The Cardinals had second-year cornerback Byron Murphy covering the slot when the Eagles went three-wide last week, so we should probably assume that happens again this week. Murphy didn't play so well last year on the perimeter in his rookie year, but he got off to a great start in 2020 when he broke up two passes on five targets in coverage and allowed just 27 yards total. It's just one game, but it's a step in the right direction. I'm expecting Washington to throw the ball a bit more this week, which should lead to five-plus targets for Sims, so he should be considered a decent floor WR5-type play, particularly in PPR formats.
