Mike Sims-Walker snuck up on people in a big way over the first part of the 2009 season… unless of course you pay attention to that completely bogus fantasy fable - The Third-Year Wide Receiver Breakout Rule. Even then not many people knew who he was, but because his other hyphenated teammate (Maurice Jones-Drew) is one of the more popular players in the league, MSW started to get some serious attention and would up finding himself smack-dab in the middle of the fantasy map. Those who grabbed him off the waiver wire in the middle of his streak were likely disappointed with his last bunch of games (due to various injuries catching up to him), but Mike did enough during the first half to be remembered. He used his size to get to balls most others can’t, yet he also showed the speed necessary to make the big plays and gain separation from defenders. All in all, MSW did well enough to keep his name on the fantasy radar for years to come.
~ Ranked 25th in the league with 126.9 WR fantasy points (basic scoring system)
~ Tied for 20th in the league with 7 receiving touchdowns
~ Ranked 31st in the league with 869 receiving yards
~ Ranked 34th in the league with 57.9 receiving yards per game
~ Ranked 35th in the league with 63 receptions
~ Ranked 31st in the league with 110 targets
~ Tied for 20th in the league with 12 receptions of 20+ yards
~ Ranked 29th in the league with 43 catches for first downs
~ Tied for 72nd in the league with 244 yards after the catch (YAC)
~ Set career highs in every major statistical receiving category
Sims-Walker won’t be sneaking up on anybody this year, but ugh, how in the world does he plan on getting open? Jacksonville did absolutely nothing in the offseason to help MSW out, as the Jags are still stuck with a bunch of uninspiring #2 WRs like Troy Williamson and Mike Thomas playing opposite Sims-Walker this year. Towards the end of 2009, defenses had figured out how to keep enough guys in the box to stop MJD while doubling up on MSW, and since nothing has changed, neither will the defensive schemes. Mike will be coming into the season healthy, which when coupled with his skills is enough for him to put up fantasy WR2-type numbers. That said, he’s had a hell of a time staying away from injuries during his three-year career and will continue to be a big risk to draft as a WR2 for your team. Be plenty happy throwing him out there as your #3 receiver in 2010, as the upside is very good for as long as pieces don’t start falling off of him.
~ His upside approaches enormous as his skill level is on par with close to anybody in the league
~ His downside is devastating due to being an extreme injury liability
~ The confidence he certainly gained from what he did in 2009 should translate into numbers this year
~ How will having no legit WR2 to take the heat off him affect his ability to get open?

Sims-Walker has one year left on the four-year, $2.405 million rookie contract he signed back in July of ’07, so expect him to do everything he can this year to cement a big deal. The contract also included $740,000 guaranteed. Here’s the rest:
2010 - $1.101 million
2011 - Free Agent
Mike Thomas should be the handcuff to MSW. If Troy Williamson has another preseason like last year, you should keep an eye on him as well
Sky-Walker has hardly been a picture of health throughout his career, but 15 games in 2009 ain't bad, and even better when you realize that his one game missed was due to missing bed-check because he was out workin' a "lady friend"
