Who Should I Start? Steven Sims or James Proche II

Tuesday, March 25, 9:47 PM

The Seattle Seahawks signed free-agent wide receiver/kick returner Steven Sims to an undisclosed one-year deal on Tuesday, according to Corbin K. Smith. Sims will reunite with new offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak after playing for him in college at Kansas. The 27-year-old returned a punt for a touchdown earlier in his career and could compete for the kick-returner role on special teams in training camp this summer in Seattle. The former undrafted wideout began his NFL career with the Washington Commanders in 2019 and had his best season in his rookie year, catching 34 of his 56 targets for 310 yards and four touchdowns in 16 games (two starts). He appeared in only nine games with the Houston Texans and Baltimore Ravens in 2024 and washing targeted all on offense on nine total snaps. Fantasy managers can continue to avoid Sims with the Seahawks in 2025.

The Tennessee Titans announced on Wednesday that they signed free-agent wide receiver James Proche II to an undisclosed deal. Proche will head to the AFC South after spending the last two seasons playing for the Cleveland Browns, where he had only three receptions on eight targets for 21 yards and no touchdowns in 19 games played (one start). The 28-year-old former sixth-round pick (201st overall) by the Baltimore Ravens in 2020 out of SMU has mostly specialized as a kick returner on special teams in his career, returning 68 punts for 591 yards and four kickoffs for 60 yards in his five NFL seasons. Expect Proche to compete for kick-return duties in Tennessee this summer in training camp. In 62 total games played, Proche has 28 receptions for 299 yards and no touchdowns on 48 targets on offense, so he won't suddenly become fantasy relevant in Tennessee.
